The following are not suns, though:
Azerbaijan is a conventional 8-pointed star representing the 8 Turkic peoples
NKorea is socialist stuff: a star on a disc
SKorea is a representation of the Universe (a yin-yang thing), not the sun.
Laos is the full moon over the Mekong River
Malaysia is a 14-pointed star symbolising unity
Myanmar is an industrial cog-wheel surrounded by stars
Nauru is a 12-pointed star symbolising the 12 tribes
Palau is the moon
Tunisia is a version of the Mahometan crescent (for centuries they
were a nominal Turkish possession).
I can't tell whether Bangladesh is a sun, but on balance I don't think so.
The FOTW (Flags of the World) website has things neatly broken down
by symbols; see
