Flags of country subdivisions

This overview lists flags used by first-level country subdivisions. The status of these flags varies from one country or sovereign state to the next: most of them are official flags, whereas others are only used de facto, sometimes to indicate a desire for more autonomy or independence.

Both the flags of Greece and Turkey together with the official flag of the Republic of Cyprus are allowed by the constitution to be flown with the official flag only as representing the respective ethnic communities. In all cases the flag of the Republic of Cyprus is always flown first. In recent times, both ethnic flags have been supplanted by the flag of the European Union.
