Questions
Which national flag has the most stars?
The flag of the United States, with 50 white stars for its 50 states. Brazil is next with 27, one for each state and the Federal District.
Why do so many flags have one star?
A single star often stands for unity, independence or a guiding idea, and it is simple to draw. Its color and placement are what set flags such as Ghana, Senegal and Somalia apart.
