Asia is the largest part of the world. Naturally, it has the largest number of states. Traditionally, each flag of Asia reflects the history and traditions of a particular country. There are a great many of these stories. Geographically, Asian states can include Russia, Turkey, and the states of Transcaucasia, although they tend to be more European than Asian.
All flags of Asia
Most Asian flags inherit the traditions of European heraldry. Although this does not hinder the use of symbols on them that reflect the religious and cultural aspirations of the peoples of the Asian regions. On the flags of the countries of Western Asia - symbols of Islam. The signs of Hinduism and Buddhism are characteristic of the central part of the world (among all the flags of the world, pennant rather than the flag of Nepal stands apart). East Asia is exclusively Buddhist. The “Apotheosis” of this was the flag of South Korea, the explanation of which can only be given by a person familiar with this religion.
Asia is also very diverse in political terms: the political structure of the countries “rushes” from European-type democracy to medieval absolute monarchy and theocracy based on Islam or Buddhism, which also affects the flags of Asia.
