Misattributed flags

FlagMisattributed UsageDate CreatedDescription
Flag of the Free State of Chutkotka.svg Flag of the so called "Free state of Chukotka" [2] October 1921This misattributed flag is a horizontal tricolor, from top to bottom white, pure yellow (#f3e600), and moderate blue (#438dcc). The flag was designed in October 1921. A mobile history game called Age of Civilizations used this flag to represent the native Chukchi people.
Flag of Free State of Chukotka (1990s vexillologist report).svg Inaccurate flag report of “Free State of Chukotka” [3] 1990sThis flag was created in the 1990s as a hoax regarding the flag of the Free State of Chukotka. The design originated from a 1970s movie by cinematographers about the Russian Civil War in Siberia. They made a white, red, and blue flag. A vexillologist saw the movie and decided that white, red, and blue should be the flag of Chukotka. [2] However, this flag can be confused with the flag of the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
