For an imaginary bonus point, name the flag that this quiz represents!

Should accept "republic of congo" as an alternative.

The flag the colours represent is Mali I believe. Good quiz.

Good quiz... bit too short for me though. To A Caramba's Q, I think the colours are those of the Ghanaian flag. Ghana became independent in 1957 and chose "red, green and gold". This colour scheme was then copied by most of its neighbours as they became independent and had to design their own flags. Do I win a cookie?

Republic of the Congo is definitely the more correct name.

The flag is the same pattern as that of Mali, very nice! Again, I keep forgetting Burkina Faso exists on quizzes like this, and was so hung up on Africa that I forgot Cyprus. (I also missed Madagascar)
