What the W collection includes
This section has entries for Wallis and Futuna and Western Sahara. The heading follows the site's alphabetical flag catalogue, which includes territories as well as countries. Placement in this collection does not mean that every entry has the same political or constitutional status.
Use the full place name when identifying an image. A flag may represent a territory, a local identity or a political movement, and those roles should not be assumed from an alphabetical heading. The individual pages give the context associated with each entry; the image alone cannot explain every question about status or official use.
Compare the complete design
Open the full image rather than relying only on the miniature preview. Note the background, any corner flag, the order of the stripes and the position of the symbols. Keep the place name beside the image in a school project or comparison chart. If your intended use requires an official flag or a statement about sovereignty, confirm that context with the relevant authority before choosing the illustration.
