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)

    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.

    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.

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

    Bosnia and Herzegovina πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦ is so unbalanced it just feels wrong. At least you can't say it's boring.

    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?

    All the tricolor ones. At least put something there ffs, Serbia and Slovakia did and it's still not great but much better.

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

    Lithuania maybe. Boring Tricolor and I don't like the color combination at all.

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

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

    Imo good contenders are Nicaragua and El Salvador for being so incredibly generic. At least other Central American countries have more unique designs.

    Two random ones I find quite ugly are Madagascar and Samoa.

    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.

    Close tie between America and UK, both horrible color choices

    The worst part of the UK flag is they didn't put a dragon on it.

    Well at least the Welsh kept it as their nation's flag.

    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.
