Flags

　　Flags have existed for over 3000 years. The earliest flags were wooden or metal poles topped with a carving.

　　About 2000 years ago pieces of fabric were added to some poles for decoration. Over the next 500 years the free-flying part of the flag became more important.

　　Every country today has its own flag. Many groups and organisations also have a flag which stands for, or symbolises, the aims of the group.

　　The United Nations

　　The flag depicts a world map, centred on the north pole. The map is surrounded by an olive wreath, symbolising peace and co-operation. The flag is blue and white.

　　Nepal

　　This is the only national flag that is not a rectangle. The white shapes represent the sun and moon.

　　Singapore

　　The five stars stand for five ideals：democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

　　Japan

　　The central red disc of the sun represents sincerity and passion. The white background represents purity and honesty.
