How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, and no picture shows a brand, a logo or a character from a film, show, book or game. The pictures show things of the day and nothing religious. The one fact in six of the descriptions was checked against Wikipedia in October 2026, and the color and square counts were counted from the finished grids. The flag is simplified to three plain bands. Licence: own work
