Albania
It's an eagle with two heads and it's fuckin awesome.

(https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/attachments/flags/AO-flag.gif)

Angola
I'm already terrified

(https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/attachments/flags/KS-flag.gif)

South Korea
Easily the best flag in the world. Perfectly balanced, simple color scheme. Dynamic, but not too daring.

(https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/attachments/flags/KZ-flag.gif)

Kazakhstan
"Very nice!"

Worst:

Saudi Arabia
Little known fact but the flag just says "I'll kill you" in Arabic. Ow, the edge

(https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/attachments/flags/SX-flag.gif)
South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands
This is the club penguin of flags

(https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/attachments/flags/IO-flag.gif)

British Indian Ocean Territory
Yeah, we get it, the stripes are waves. 😂

Post by: EchoRin on April 20, 2020, 05:02:05 PM: Nothing more inviting than a country that features weapons on their flag. Sword stuff? Eh OK that has some potential old time feel. Isn't there a country that has a machine gun type of firearm in their flag? Jesus christ lol.

Anyways. Worst flags have to be individual city flags in the US. Sure Chicago's flag kicks ass, but hats the exception.

Also the Dutch flag but that has been plagiarized by the French.
The US, Serbian and Russian flags are pretty cool too.

Wales, cause bitchin red dragon.

Bhutan. Dragon with dragonballs, nuff said. Just needs colouring in.

(https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/attachments/flags/HK-flag.gif)
Hong Kong. Simple, elegant aesthetics.

Marshall Islands. Makes me think of space travel. That's good.

I was always partial to the brazilian flag, as I find it to be unique while plenty of flags have obvious sisters/brothers out there.

I also always liked the German flag. Cool color pattern. And yes, I do stan for the 'murican flag. As well as get my weeb out for glorious nippon.

Worst? I dunno, one of the ones with the union jack lodged into the corner.

I think the problem with Brazil's flag is that it looks like a shitty 5mins MS paint job version of somthing that should be more stylized.

Worst: The Union Jack and anything derived from it :yuck

That's not a real flag, I take it? Modified lesser coat of arms of Austria-Hungary, Hungarian flag on the right, and what's the flag on the left?
