Here are five common characteristics of flags of countries:
1. Simplicity: Generally, flags are created with simple designs so that a child can draw it from memory.
2. Meaningful Symbolism: Flag's images, colors, and patterns generally relate to what the flag symbolizes.
3. Simple Basic Coloring: The number of colors on flags are generally limited to two or three which contrast well and come from the standard color set.
4. No Lettering or Seals: Flags typically have no writing of any kind or use any organizational seals.
5. Distinctive or Related: Flags are unique, not duplicating other flags, but using similarities to show connections.<|im_end|>
