Flags with the sun
12 of the 196 national flags here have the sun in the design.
What the list shows
12 of the 196 national flags here have the sun in the design. That is 6% of the flags in this list, counting a sun with rays or a rising sun. The list is the 196 states the United Nations recognises as members or observers, plus Kosovo; territories are left out because most of them share their parent's flag.
By continent: Asia 4 of 47, Africa 3 of 54, South America 2 of 13, Europe 1 of 46, North America 1 of 22, Oceania 1 of 14. Asia has the most (4), and South America has the highest share (15% of its flags).

Capitals of the first few, to place them: Antigua and Barbuda (St. John's), Argentina (Buenos Aires), Kazakhstan (Astana), Kiribati (South Tarawa), Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek), and so on down the list. The shortest names here are Nepal, Malawi and Rwanda.
How the labels were made: colours are measured from the flag image (a colour counts if it covers at least 0.6% of the flag, edges excluded, so a small emblem can add a colour), and symbols were labelled by hand. A flag with a detailed coat of arms can legitimately appear under several symbols. If a flag looks mislabelled, the corrections link on the about page is the way to say so.
How the flags are labelled. Images are from the open-source flag-icons set (MIT). Colours are measured from each image; symbols are labelled by hand. Names follow the source lists and do not imply any judgment on the status of any territory. Sources and limits.
