   Thay all have red, white, and blue flags, i.e. their flags contain all   
   three colors and contain no other colors.   
      
   (Correction:  Costa Rica's flag also contains a small amount of green.)   
      
   Can you name any nation whose flag contains *none* of these three   
   colors?  As far as I can tell, there's currently just one.   
      
   Coindidentally, an acquaintance of mine I know through an online   
   trivia group recently moved from the US to Thailand, by way of France.   
   I asked her what those three nations had in common.  She didn't get it.
