I bet you didn't know that over 30 countries out there have at least one yellow star on their flag.

It is not unusual to be having fun at trivia when the infamous oddly specific question comes up: name 5 countries that have a yellow star on the flag, and people go blank! Naturally, we don't always know which color stars are on each country's flags, so this list was created to help you see all those flags at once, and crush it at your trivia party! The list was also meant for everyone looking to learn more about countries and their flags. 

We legitimately could not find a complete list of flags that contained yellow stars - particularly the ones that have stylized stars in the design, so we painstakingly went through every single flag to make sure this list was complete and updated for you!

Now, there is one important disclaimer we need to make: this list DOES include flags with suns and stylized suns in them since the sun is technically a star. You will notice that one of the popularly searched red flags with a yellow star is - in fact - a sun: the flag of Kyrgyzstan, which includes a yellow stylized sun on a red background.

Other interesting examples are the flag of Costa Rica, which includes small white stars...and then the yellow sun is hidden in there.
