«What can be used on a flag to symbolize a country?»

A flag is a very important thing, even if most people think it is not. The flag is the face of the country. There are 197 recognized States in the world, and each of them has its own official flag. As clothing says a lot about a person, and the flag can tell a lot about their country. Each color has its own meaning.

The most numerous flags are horizontal three-way flags. There are 55 such flags. The most popular colors on the flags of the world powers — red, white and blue. At least one of them will always be present on the flag. The rarest color found on the national flag is purple. This is due to the fact that to produce natural purple dye used to be difficult and expensive, and by the time at the end of the XIX century there was an artificial, most countries have already decided on the colors on their own flags. Today, purple can only be seen on the flag of the Commonwealth of Dominica. He adorns the chest of the parrot sisserou is the symbol of this island nation. Another rare color that is present in only one state flag — the aquamarine. It stands for water on the flag of the Bahamas. The yellow stripe is the shore, and the black triangle symbolizes the unity and determination of the Bahamians. Now in the world there are no monochrome flags, but they were.
From 1815 to 1830, France had a monochrome white flag.
From 1880 to 1901, the flag of Afghanistan was a plain black canvas.
From 1977 to 2011, the flag of Libya was the only flag in the world in the form of a green rectangle.
As for me, I like all their meanings, but unfortunately, using them is all bad. Therefore, only two or three colors should be chosen as a symbol of the country's motto.

You can use symbols or images of something meaningful to your country as it is. For Russia, I would choose a bear, because we are just as strong and big, we can live in difficult times-an ideal symbol of who we are. For France, you can choose a croissant. It would be easier to recognize its flag because many countries use these colored stripes.

But a lot of people I know think the flag isn't important, they don't even think about it. I think this is a tragedy, which is why we have a generation of indifference to everything.

Flags of different countries resemble people. Sometimes similar until great details, sometimes differ as white and black. Some older, some younger. But each is unique, inimitable and carries a part of its own special culture.
Flags make us being patriots, and just patriots can do deeds worthy of their country.
