About the flag
At the 1936 Olympics, Liechtenstein discovered its blue-and-red flag was identical to Haiti’s, so it added a gold crown the following year to tell them apart.
How to spot it: Blue over red with a small gold crown in the upper left; Haiti’s has a coat of arms in the centre instead.
Often confused with: 🇭🇹 Haiti
