What is your favorite national flag in the whole world?

I won't put a poll up for obvious reasons, but I have decided that Guinea-Bissau's flag is really good.

The one and the only. :p

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union.svg/210px-Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union.svg.png

I like australias,its like uk but more blue and with stars.

libya. very easy to make.

I like the Jolly Roger.

I'm hugely biased, but I've always liked California's flag:

I'm also partial to Canada's flag and Vietnam's flag:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Flag_of_Vietnam.svg/150px-Flag_of_Vietnam.svg.png

Well, I'm partial to the Bundesdienstflagge of Österreich...

http://www.fotw.net/images/a/at_state.gif

maybe because of the things the eagle is brandishing in his talons.

Also this one:

http://www.fotw.net/images/i/it.gif

combining the green of basil, the white of mozzarella and the red of tomato sauce. That is, pizza margherita!

I'm partial to this one: http://www.pachd.com/free-images/misc-images/us-flag-01.jpg

both Scotland flags

:sniper:

Wow. Just a gun smilie. I think we have a noobert alert.

The British Columbia flag is pretty nice.

I've always been partial to the official flag of Ireland.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Flag_of_Ireland.svg

and the Four Provinces flag of Ireland is also really cool.

and the Four Provinces flag of Ireland is also really cool.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Four_Provinces_Flag.svg

Agreed. Stupid Connacht got the best one of the four though

I don't really have any particular favourite, but I've always preferred ones that are a little more than just a few stripes of colour.

The pure red flag ! Not national, but the flag of the international working class !

The Old italian flag with Savoia seal is my favourite flag, but I like the Aussie Flag too!

and the Four Provinces flag of Ireland is also really cool.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Four_Provinces_Flag.svg

all those put together as one flag be odd

Wow. Just a gun smilie. I think we have a noobert alert.

no no no... I agree with the noob.... :sniper: makes a good national flag...


To be serious however, I am quite partial to the eureka stockade flag:
http://www.ausflag.com.au/flags/images/eureka.gif
Simple, yet meaningful... However in the technical sense it is not a national flag.

I am not a fan of the Aussie flag purely because of the union jack in the corner..

I like my country's nationalist one... http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagen:Estelada_blava.svg
I like the mixture of colors... :)

The Old italian flag with Savoia seal is my favourite flag

Savoia? BOIA!
Traditori delle Cinque Giornate di Milano, traditori degli insorti romani del Risorgimento, assassini dei milanesi con Bava Beccaris, traditori di alleanze nel 1915, traditori dello Statuto nel 1924, traditori dell'Italia intera nel 1943.

Who needs a flag? I prefer a coat of arms! ... I'll be serious now.


I prefer the virgin islands flag.

my favorite flag is the one i created a long time ago. its the one i use on here. but neither this place nor even the internet existed yet when i did.

if i ever get the chance to get arround to it, to actually make a real, full size one in real life, and not just the painted one hung in a fraime on my wall, and a flag pole to fly it on i fully intend to fly it. at least until a cop with a gun or some other legitimate representative of a government i'm surrounded by tells me not to.

i'm not interested in starting any wars over it, but, its damd sure prettier, both in and of its self, and in what it stands for, then that of the nation where i mundanely live.

there's no white, black, or red in it, and damd little blue, other then turquoise.
almost half of its turquoise representing the sky, most of the other half is umber/sieanna, representing the earth, seperated by wavey green lines representing the web of life, and a big pumpkin orange circle in the center of it representing the life giving sun.

no white because we feel that to be hypicritical and pretentious, and no red because we're not into killing anybody, or dying either. the willingness to do both being what red in flags generally represents.

we do like those rare flags that also have neither red nor white in them. even more if they have green, and the blue, if any, isn't dark, or mostly isn't.

do you know how many flags i've been able to find with no red or white (of mundane neations, that is). i forget the actual count but i'm pretty sure it was less then ten. out of how many? more then a couple of hundred at least.

I agree, I really like the Eureka Stockade flag too. You're right though, it's not a national flag. I would like it to become the Australian flag.

I also like the the Manx flag too.

The Falklands

Hmmm... Well, I've always liked the NATO flag...

In terms of nations, I'll say Nepal's because its so weird.

Belgium's flag of luuurve

failing that Brazil and its little motto stuck on (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/Flag_of_Brazil.svg)

Hong Kong's flag is pretty good.

Man, those are really nice. Particularly the third one, the Isle of Man flag, it just kicks ass! I'm so sorry!

Antarctica's pretty nice: simple.
http://magsnlil.com/shop/images/antarctica_flag.gif

Wonder what the Arctic's flag is like.

Ah. No flag.

British Indian Ocean Territory is nice. I like the depiction of ocean within a flag. The leaves look tasty.

Macedonia's flag is gorgeous. So uplifiting. More apologies.

Greenland, I'm proud the flag isn't green. Too obvious.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/Flag_of_Greenland.svg

Jamaica's flag really fits.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Flag_of_Jamaica.svg

Marshall Islands, quite a powerful looking flag, pretty cool as it's a micronesian island nation.

I think the trick is, they sort of spiral up the leg from S1-L5... with other sacral nerves scattered around...

lol... strange images coming to mind....

I don't think I remember anything from upper limbs... we only ever had to go over that in half a lecture first semester last year... (actually.. the only think I remmeber about upper limbs at all is that there are 3 elbow flexors... I think... or is it 2...

...I am quite partial to the eureka stockade flag...

I agree with you on all points.

The original Eureka flag still exists in Ballarat.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g136/regnans/eureka20flag1.jpg

The reason it's a bit chopped up is that the soldiers who dispersed the miners souvenired it and cut pieces out to share it with family and friends.

Probably my favourite is the Canadian flag - so simple and effective.

dermatomes! Heard about them for the first time in my life in the lecture today. Naturally, I still have no clue how they work.

I like the British flag. South Korea's is pretty cool.

I like the United nation's flag.

What is your favorite national flag in the whole world?

I've survived 2 subjects that involved dermatomes so far... Wonder if I can get all the way through uni without learning about them...

Who would have ever thought dermatomes would be a conversation starter!

*starts a conversation about the distribution of S3, the pudendal nerve and the wonderful things it does*

France, primarily due to tricolor simplicity and because it has a 2:3 ratio. As someone who draws and designs flags a lot, I love a simple, yet meaningful design that doesn't adhere to some outlandish dimensions. Switzerland, Vatican City, and Nepal are exceptions, but I'm of the firm opinion that all rectangular flags should have a uniform ratio.

I like canadas too because i am from canada

I like Qatar's. o.o; It's the only one with any pink. Of course, I like the union jack, Japan's flag, and Canada's flag, too. But there's just no beating pink.

The US and the UK have the best flags IMO.

That's not the stars & bars. That's the battle flag of the confederacy.

This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CSA_FLAG_4.3.1861-21.5.1861.svg) is the Stars and Bars.

*sniff*

I live in British Columbia (my home province of Alberta's flag isn't good, either, though I like Saskatchewan's flag), so I'm not any happier about the ugly flag than you are.

I like Saint Kitts and Nevis' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Saint_Kitts_and_Nevis.svg)flag:

I like my ones, I didn't make the first one, but the socond ones was done with the wonder of MS paint :D

I don't really have any particular favourite, but I've always preferred ones that are a little more than just a few stripes of colour.

Agreed.

That said, simply because the Union jack flew over colonial mansions, adminstrative buildings and barracks from Bombay to Boston, I've got immense time for it.

No one has mentioned the Confederate battle flag?

http://unitedstatesamericanflags.com/images/battle_flag_1024x768.gif

I like the Kyrgyz flag.

The flag of Kyrgyzstan was adopted on March 3, 1992. It consists of a red field with a yellow sun in the center having 40 rays representing the 40 Kyrgyz tribes; alternate interpretations suggest 40 warriors of the mythical hero Manas. On the obverse side the rays run counterclockwise, on the reverse, clockwise. In the center of the sun is a red ring crossed by two sets of three lines, a stylized representation of the crown or tunduk of the traditional Kyrgyz yurt, a symbol replicated in many facets of Kyrgyz architecture. The red portion of the flag represents the peace and openness of Kyrgyzstan. (personal note: the red background was originally intended to be a deep blue but that idea was reported to have been rejected by the former rulers who insisted the flag have a red background, or so I've heard).

(From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Kyrgyzstan)

Kyrgyzstan's name means "Place of forty girls", 'Kirk' is forty is Kyrgyz/Turkish and 'gyz' is girl. Can't go wrong with a name like that, eh?:fluffle:

That's the only place.

If anyone deserves a bad war time reputation (both in battles and diplomatically) it's the Italians. Half of WWI was them launch human wave after human wave at the Isonzo river to little avail. WWII was even worst, Italians surrendered like flies.

OK, as an actual nation's flag : Kiritabi - the state is a sorta failed one, but the flag is genius.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Flag_of_Kiribati.svg/600px-

As to my other favourite flag, that'd be the city flag of Portein.

Belgium's flag of luuurve

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/4/4/18/f_belgianflagm_5592b98.png

I like that one much better than the original, it's so boring and the colors are quite ugly. (especially the yellow)

I think the trick is, they sort of spiral up the leg from S1-L5... with other sacral nerves scattered around...

It's actually quite logical. In the embryo the dermatomes are straight lines (similar to how they are on the rest of the body). During the development of the embryo the limbs rotate which cause this spiraling patern. The arms and legs rotate differently (thats why your knees are in the front and your elbows in the back, it also explains the counterintuitive flection and extension of the foot) that's why the spirals are different, I think it's actually quite helpful to see a picture of this to study the dermatomes. A textbook on embryology could probably explain this better.

Aside from WWII (kind of), from where does France get its reputation for surrender?
[/seriousness]WWI. There were plenty of mutinies mainly because a vast majority of French soldiers had to endure Verdun due to the rotation practices. That's also one of the reasons France surrendered so quickly. Traumatised generations don't fight well.

I don't like tricolour flags, they're just three stripes in different colours.You sit down and try to draw either the Union Jack or the Stars and Stripes and then we'll talk. And that's not even considering their abysmal proportions.
OK, as an actual nation's flag : Kiritabi - the state is a sorta failed one, ...So is your attempt to spell it =P

That's not the stars & bars. That's the battle flag of the confederacy.This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CSA_FLAG_4.3.1861-21.5.1861.svg) is the Stars and Bars.

Whoops. I stand corrected. See what happens when things are done in a hurry? Well, they both make the list.

Is "not a one" an allowed answer?

I kinda like the US flag.

If anyone deserves a bad war time reputation (both in battles and diplomatically) it's the Italians. Half of WWI was them launch human wave after human wave at the Isonzo river to little avail. WWII was even worst, Italians surrendered like flies.

Well, they were all green conscripts.

Whoops. I stand corrected. See what happens when things are done in a hurry? Well, they both make the list.

Meh, the Stars & Bars is ugly.

I think Brazil`s flag is the nicest.

You sit down and try to draw either the Union Jack or the Stars and Stripes and then we'll talk. And that's not even considering their abysmal proportions.

The Union Jack is easy to draw.
