Best National Flag

edited May 2013 in All Encompassing Trip
I was looking at the wiki list of country flags to see how often in recent history the losing side has kept their flag design the same (the answer: very few). That led me to start ranking the best and worst national flags.

Let's figure this out.

Rules:
You can't pick your own national flag. No touching of the hair or face. And that's it.

I'm going with United Kingdom as the best (behind the obvious, of course):

Poland and Monaco tie for dead last. Polish Flag:

Look at your screen upside down if you want to know what Monaco's flag looks like.

    I like Zaire's. It is just a cool looking flag -- this has nothing to do w/what it stands for.

    Not about the best but it is certainly one of the most recognizable for a small island country. Can you guess what country it is?

    th?id=H.4782318245118579&pid=15.1 Gotta love the dragon on the flag of Wales.

    I used to really like the flag of Uganda as well. Of course, I thought that the crane was a chicken. :lol::lol:th?id=H.4653602387723518&pid=15.1

    I used to work with a woman from Lebanon, nicest woman you could ever meet. She brought me back a key chain with the symbol of the flag on it and I really liked it.
