How many country flags are there in guessflagsgame (195 vs 197)?

guessflagsgame includes all 197 sovereign world flags: 193 United Nations Member States, 2 UN Permanent Observers (The Vatican City and Palestine), plus Kosovo and Taiwan. Standard 195-country quizzes omit Kosovo and Taiwan, but guessflagsgame provides the complete 197-state world collection.

Why do Chad and Romania, or Monaco and Indonesia, have identical flags?

Chad adopted its blue-yellow-red tricolor in 1959 by blending the French flag with Pan-African colors. Romania had used the same tricolor since 1866; when Romania removed its communist crest in 1989, the flags ended up identical except for a slightly darker blue shade on Chad's flag. Monaco and Indonesia independently adopted historic red-and-white banners rooted in Monegasque Grimaldi heraldry and the 13th-century Javanese Majapahit empire respectively.

What flag is 🇳🇪 (Niger) vs 🇳🇬 (Nigeria), and what flag is 🇷🇴 (Romania)?

🇳🇪 is the flag of Niger (orange, white, and green horizontal stripes with an orange sun disc). 🇳🇬 is the flag of Nigeria (two green vertical stripes enclosing a white center stripe). 🇷🇴 is the flag of Romania (blue, yellow, and red vertical tricolor). 🇿🇦 is South Africa (the 6-color Y-pattern flag), and 🇦🇪 is the United Arab Emirates (Pan-Arab green, white, black horizontal stripes with a red vertical hoist).
