Finland vs Norway flag

How to tell them apart

The flags of Finland and Norway are both Nordic crosses, with the upright set towards the hoist, so they’re easy to mix up at a glance. This is what gives each one away:

  1. Finland's field is white; Norway's is red.
  2. Both crosses are blue, but Norway's is edged in white.
