Cambodia

About the flag

Correct—this is Cambodia. The central temple is Angkor Wat, the nation’s iconic 12th‑century complex and a symbol of Khmer heritage. Blue traditionally represents the monarchy, red the nation, and the white temple stands for religion and integrity. Uniquely, Cambodia’s flag is one of the only national flags to feature a real building, making it a strong visual cue. Memory tip: See a detailed temple silhouette? Think Cambodia = Angkor Wat. By contrast, Laos has a white disc, Pakistan features a crescent and star, and Jordan shows a red chevron with a white star. Cambodia’s flag was first adopted in 1948, fell out of use during political upheavals, and was restored in 1993—mirroring the country’s path of resilience and cultural pride.
