Asian Geography
This large country in Central Asia holds the longest history out of all of them—and it also has been through several stages of an empire-like state known as a dynasty
China
This Empire—or rather a British-owned dominion—consisted of all north-American land above the 40th parallel at a time. Some was later sold off to the U.S. and the rest came to form a very large new country above the United States—the second largest in the world
The Dominion of Canada
This mid-sized nation is the third-largest in the continent, and some say, with its isolated position in the Pacific, its the loneliest country in the world
New Zealand
This nations’ flag is among the most unique in the world, and, with its position in Africa, it quite accurately describes the country’s surroundings and history
Kenya 🇰🇪
This very tiny nation in the Middle East was once known for its special dyes that could only be found there, explaining why nobody else's flag had purple on it
Lebanon
This Empire ruled as one of the two Empires in Central America and (present-day) Mexico, and with their art of building pyramids, they formed quite the empire to be destroyed by the Spanish in 1512
Mayan Empire
This is a state in Australia, one of the oldest ones. It was named by the British in the early 1900s after Wales, a British Kingdom
New South Wales
This flag is no longer being used—it was changed in 2011—but it still remains as possibly the simplest flag in history; just a plain, sage green background
Libya (1997-2011)
This nations’ flag is one of the most colourful in the world, with a striped background of yellow, green, and red, as well as a bright white star in the middle. It borders both India and China—one of the only four countries that do
Myanmar
This Empire never fully came to be—though it came very close. In the 15 and 1600s, Portuguese Settlers in South America wanted Spanish land and resources—and they were willing to go to war over it
Empire of Brazil
This is a very, very tiny island nation in the Pacific—in fact, its the third smallest country in the world after Monaco and Vatican City
Nauru 🇳🇷
This countries flag is the most famous and most distinguishable in the world, showing fifty white stars on a blue background and thirteen red and white stripes
United States of America 🇺🇸
This country some say spans two continents, though it’s primarily in Asia. It also borders Timor-Leste, one of the most forgotten countries in the world
Indonesia
This wasn’t exactly an empire, but it did rule over a lot of the Americas, known for being Nomads and building giant, pre-european-settler cities in what is now the United States and Canada
The Native Americans
This state in Australia used to be where Tasmanian Devils roamed—but now they’re only in, well, Tasmania. This states’ population is growing fast, already at almost 5 million people, and it also has a large desert of the same name
Victoria
This countries’ flag is simple, a light-blue-white-light-blue stripe combination and a traditional, yellow sun in the middle
Argentina 🇦🇷
This nation was one of the 15 countries in the Soviet Union, and when it dissolved, it gained its independence. This country is also one of the ‘stan’ countries in Central Asia
Kazakhstan
This empire ruled over the entire Yucatan peninsula; its among the most well-known empires in the Americas, and fell to the spanish in the early 1500s
Aztec Empire
This tiny pacific island nation used to be a major U.S. military base—now its an independent nation somewhat close to China, with a very simple flag resembling Japan’s
Palau
This countries’ flag shows five yellow stars on a red background—symbolising the country’s history and present-day traditions
China 🇨🇳
