    Netherlands - Orange, they are mad for the colour over there (and don’t forget that William of Orange so beloved of NI unionists was Dutch)
    Japan - The red spot on white. My favourite flag design! :)
    Australia - Dark blue and white stars
    U.S.A. - the Stars and Stripes (Red, white and blue)
