聯合國會員國國旗 (Flags of the United Nations member states; Chinese poster distributed in Asia)
A chart of the flags of the United Nations member states arranged around the blue UN flag at the centre, each labelled with its country name, including the flags of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, the Soviet republics of Byelorussia and Ukraine, and China (Republic of China flag). The sheet makes no argument beyond its title. The tell is transfer: the UN emblem at the centre carries the organisation's standing to the flags around it.
