Bhutan

Flag

Adopted: 1969

Bhutan's flag features a diagonal split of saffron and orange with a white dragon (Druk) centered, symbolizing the nation's name meaning 'Land of the Thunder Dragon' and representing power and protection.

Flag fun fact: The dragon on Bhutan's flag holds jewels in its claws, representing wealth and prosperity, and the flag's design reflects Buddhist and Bhutanese cultural symbolism rather than Western heraldic traditions.
