About the flag
The red, white and green come from the historic Hungarian coat of arms, and are traditionally read as strength, faithfulness and hope. The tricolour became a symbol of the 1848 revolution.
How to spot it: Horizontal red-white-green with red on top; Bulgaria is white-green-red and Italy has the same colours in vertical stripes.
