Flags of the world
I've been very blessed to travel a lot in my life and I keep a list of all the countries I've visited. I only count countries that:
1. Are officially recognized by the U.N. (including the two observer states)
2. I've been in part of the country besides the airport (Sorry United Arab Emirates)
Who wants to play a game!?!
I love to play games and thought you might too! Can you recognize each of the flags of where I've visited? Hint: They're in alphabetical order by region (except for #1)
Scoring legend: For each correct guess, you receive one point. Key on the bottom.
