Mozambique for sure, I’m not from there, never been there, don’t even really want to go, idt I’ve even met someone from there, but that flag with the AK goes so hard I want it on a shirt.
Japan, just a red dot
The old one was better!
Nobody has mentioned Kyrgyzstan yet
The holy boule ball
The flag of the Chinook Nation is one I recall seeing and thinking it was very unique, memorable, and aesthetically pleasing.
I also like the trident on the flag of Barbados.
Edit: fixed link
Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
Very nice!

Vietnam:
Angola:
Nepal for originality:
I thought the Angola flag looked bad ass so I looked the country up on Wikipedia. This struck me as a bit odd.
“Angola achieved independence in 1975 as a one-party Republic, but the country descended into a devastating civil war the same year, between the ruling People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), backed by the Soviet Union and Cuba; the insurgent National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, an originally Maoist and later anti-communist group supported by the United States and South Africa”
That is odd, aaand now I have to do a deep dive on the Angolan civil war, great. Lol
Sychelles:
Bhutan:
Bhutan would have had the best flag if someone colored it in.
it’s cheating of you put a dragon.
where’s buthan-Wales dragon alliance?
Seconding Seychelles, such a cool flag.
State flag, but: Maryland’s got an absolute banger, imo.
I was refraining from posting this, so I’m very glad someone else did. Back when we were masked up, I always appreciated the Maryland flag masks the most and made sure to compliment their wearers.
Agreed. It always makes me think of Nascar, lol. But the other half represents a pro-Confederate family, and I’d love to hear someone explain how the city of Baltimore has continued to accept that. “Bigger fish to fry” and “not wanting to alienate racists” is all I can come up with.
I think with a lot of stuff like that, most people don’t care. Like I assume it’s the red and white side that you’re talking about but idk, and for sure I never see racists flying either set of colors which is why I think no one cares.
The Confederate flag didn’t fall out of favor primarily due to its meaning in the 1800’s, but moreso due to the contemporary associations.
Someone else mentioned Seychelles, so I’ll also throw in the rather awesome, Jamaica:
To my knowledge, Jamaica’s is the only national flag to not contain red, white or blue.
Flag of Iran, or the flag of the Kingdom of Hejaz (gone). Nothing political about those choices in particular, i just think their flags are the prettiest.
Iran flag is peak design.
really pushing the tricolour to new levels.
those stylised letters really give them a cool aesthetic. regardless of what’s written. peak graphic design.
The flag of Switzerland is always a plus.
Thinking outside the box: Nepal 🇳🇵
Apologies in advance if I’m doing this wrong. But the 1890 national flag of China was badass. Check out the current Welsh flag though, I’d say it’s close. 🏴
It kind of disappoints me that Wales ruins the standard:flag system in the Home Nations though, if they were to be included in the Union Flag I’d want to see it be the St. David’s Cross with the dragon going on the Royal Standard where France used to be
just add the bloody dragon in the union jack. how hard can it be
The Welsh flag was my favourite as a kid!
Flags of communist countries have always been awesome. USSR, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, East Germany
I can’t find it, but there’s a cool infographic / image that has all of them. I could only find one for the hammer and sickle variations:
Nepal is my favourite. Most iconic hammer and sickle IMO
I really like the ones that dared to be different and show what working class means to their area.
Must be the Dutch one since half the world copied it in some way 🇺🇸 🇮🇩 🇷🇺 🇫🇷
