    Any flag that cucks itself by having the union jack on it. Looking at you Oz/NZ… It’s time to move on.

      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.

    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)

    The Torres Straight Islands flag is pretty bad. It looks like a cats arsehole.

    Basically any flag that’s just 3 colored bars. They’re so boring and there are so many that it’s hard to even differentiate them.

    Flags should say something about your country.

      They do, the colors usually have some meaning attached. Also, as a kid, would you rather draw Bhutan’s flag or Ukraine’s?

        I would 100% pick Bhutan’s flag as a kid. Flags should be simple but come on, that dragon is awesome.

        Um Dragon flag definitely! Easy to draw is not on my list of criteria.

        Also, I know the colors usually have meaning, it’s just so boring.

      A cross isn’t exactly that much better tbh. So you are or used to be some kind of Christian country. Great.

        Believe it or not that does actually narrow it down quite a bit.

    Australia & New Zealand. The two are too similar and IMO keeping the Union Jack on your flag while being an independent nation adds to the confusion. Canada had the right idea with the maple leaf.

        Ha at least you had the chance to change your flag. I don’t think Australia ever got as close as New Zealand did to changing 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.

    Morocco has the worst colour scheme. Low contrast makes the star disappear when viewing from far away.

    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.

    I’ve always been annoyed at Ireland’s because it replaced a much nicer flag.
