See, as someone who doesn't live in Europe, I honestly have a hard time telling which horizontal/vertical striped lines of red/white/orange/blue/black/brown/whatever, represent which countries. All I know is: that's not the flag of France. I have no idea which country it's for.
I also have trouble with all but a few of the country codes (the two letter notation for a country), and states by their letter codes, with few exceptions... for countries, I know like.... CA is Canada, US is the USA, UK is England/United Kingdom (and I know those are two different things, but I don't know why or how they're different). For States I know like... NY for new York and CA for California.... and like DC for Washington DC (which is different from the state of Washington).
Apart from that and maybe a few others, idfk. And yes, I did not do very well in geography class....
In any case, this joke almost went over my head and I'm still not sure whose flag that is.
It's the Belgian flag
