    Yours obviously. Terrible design and awful colour choice. Not completely surprising from such a backwards country but I have to admit you raised the ugliness bar to a whole new level. Matches well with your ridiculous anthem and your stupid traditions (incest and cannibalism are still a thing I’ve heard).

    My country on the other hand… now that’s some nice flag design: good palette, great inspiration, high symbolic value. Very nice. Pairs well with our melodic anthem and our respectable traditions (like ritual ‘feast of the elders’ and ceremonial family acts of love)

      For sure! I’m an Aussie and I wanna get rid of that shit. Not just because I’m a major sci fi nerd (well, a big reason) but I’ve always been partial to the Aussie flag as depicted in Event Horizon.

    Wales.
    There’s something seriously wrong with that dragon.
    It’s got a tail as its tongue, a hook-nose, fluffy ears,
    an air cushion frontal neck, a fishnet back neck
    and a look so annoyed that
    if flag dragons could talk I’d swear it would say
    “Don’t look at me, my mom put me up for this”.

      At least it has a dragon. Scotland’s flag is sorely missing a unicorn, and others are lacking in mythical creatures too :-/

        I’ll give you that.
        But still, if you’re gonna make a flag with a dragon on it,
        don’t make it look like a botched art restoration.

        Same goes for Bhutan by the way,
        which is the most awesome flag in the world,
        holding dragonballs and all that,
        but they forgot to color it in.

    Brazil. Mostly because it has text. Actually, reading about the flag and its history has made me appreciate it more. FUCK! I’m changing my answer to Malaysia for copying my country’s flag.

      Well one of them was based on the other…

      But hey, don’t hate on our 400+ year old colour choice! 🇳🇱

          Dragons in old English stories too so it’s not even specifically a Welsh thing. Just another reason to have one on the UK flag.

            I’d have to dig into the archives but all of Britain was once the Welsh, till the ‘English’ invaders pushed them into the pocket of land they are in now. I wonder if the Union Jack specifically left off the dragon, as to not recognize the welsh folk lore, or claim of an independent group like the rest of flags on it

              Which invasion? There were a few… To say it was all Welsh seems a bit odd. Everywhere has been invaded at least a few times. I think some are more a change of ruling class and others have more immigration of normal people.

              I think the most well known ones here would be Roman, Anglo Saxon, Viking and Norman.

                Its in the old hiatory books. The Welsh were from the Original Celtic Britons of the Iron age. Before the ‘new’ invaders.

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Britons

                See the red part. Now that’s all squished into the western tiny zone after the various invaders drove them into it

    Four bars is already too many, adding a big red line down the middle is not helping, and tbh if you took away the star it’d at least be symmetrical.

    If your flag is gonna be busy, at least be creative and put like a dragon or something on it.

    Sorry CAR.
