I like his rating system. :))

I never realized Chile's flag was so similar to the Texas flag...

A good site but the lack of Welsh, Northern Ireland, English and Scottish flags is a bit crap. Also he's got the wrong flag for Ireland which he has as Cote D'Ivoire and Ireland as Italy. For someone who obviously spends a lot of time looking at flags he fucked up failry big there.

Union flag - too busy. :)

Pity there's no Saltire, I reckon based in that rating system, it'd do pretty well.

Can`t believe the Kenyan flag only got 55/100.

That flag is ace.

"Morocco 72/100. Apart from the colours, this is a nice design, pentagram is a bit adolescent though."

Starmap original but atrocious. Worst flag of any independent nation state.

The Brazilian flag always reminds me of banana stickers.

The Northern Mariana Islands flag is indeed fucking crap.
Not to sound patriotic or anything, but I've always thought the UK has the nicest flag. :)

Same here.

and not because I`m british. It just jumps out at you. Same qualities as the kenyan flag.....which i still think is ace.

Well the Irish flag is a green, white and orange and the Cote D'ivire is just a cut down italin flag and they are swapped over.

The one for the irish flag does look like they have the italian flag. But I forget about my red/Green colour blindness only notice it when I have arguments about colours e.g the colour of my parents car.

Pfffft. Norfolk islands flag looks more like a rip off of the Nigerian flag.
Sloppy criteria for too many stars with Christmas Island, Seychelles, Samoa,Papua New guinea and Venezuela all having too many stars and not getting mentioned.
I demand a recount!
