List of +140 country flags ranked from the most current to the oldest based on the first use of the current design. Note that changes have been made to some of these flags since they were used for the first time, and some flags were not used continuously. The flag of the United States, for example, didn't contain 50 stars when it was first made; more stars were added throughout history until 1960 when Hawaii became the 50th state of the country; hence the current version of the US flag was adopted.
