A terrific United States Senate site, World Statesmen, is a database of the rulers of nations, colonies, international and religious organizations, and other polities from about 1700 onward. Includes past and present flags, maps, constitutions, and national anthems. The largest website devoted to national, provincial, and regional coats of arms is at International Civic Arms. This excellent site displays thousands of coats of arms from around the world, including dozens from Ukraine. Many historic coats of arms from territories and entities that no longer exist are also presented. Well worth visiting, but download may be a bit slow due to the vast amount of material being transferred to your computer.
A fine site for Ukrainian heraldry also includes information on local and regional coats of arms and displays all Ukrainian stamps on the topic.
