ASIA

The widest range of anything on the site: the pack holds both the most populous countries on Earth and several of the smallest by land area, and outlines that run from a near-perfect rectangle to an archipelago of thousands of islands.

Central Asia is where this pack is won or lost. Five countries whose names all end the same way, with borders drawn in the 1920s that interlock in ways no other region matches.

The pack draws from 48 countries and territories, 31,153,226 km² of land between them. China is the largest and Singapore the smallest, a range of roughly 18,270 to one. Ten of the flags have a near-duplicate somewhere in the archive, the closest pair being Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam.
