Misattributed flags

Flag	Misattributed Usage	Date Created	Description
	Flag of the so-called "Free state of Chukotka"[2]	October 1921	This misattributed flag is a horizontal tricolor, from top to bottom white, pure yellow (#f3e600), and moderate blue (#438dcc). The flag was designed in October 1921. A mobile history game used this flag to represent the native Chukchi people.
	Inaccurate flag report of “Free State of Chukotka”[3]	1990s	This flag was created in the 1990s as a hoax regarding the flag of the Free State of Chukotka. The design originated from a 1970s movie by cinematographers about the Russian Civil War in Siberia. They made a white, red, and blue flag. A vexillologist saw the movie and decided that white, red, and blue should be the flag of Chukotka.[2]
