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

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

    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.

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

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

        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.

      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.

    Wales.
    There’s something seriously wrong with that dragon.
    It’s got a tail as its tongue, a hook-nose, fluffy ears,
    an air cushion frontal neck, a fishnet back neck
    and a look so annoyed that
    if flag dragons could talk I’d swear it would say
    “Don’t look at me, my mom put me up for this”.

      At least it has a dragon. Scotland’s flag is sorely missing a unicorn, and others are lacking in mythical creatures too :-/

        I’ll give you that.
        But still, if you’re gonna make a flag with a dragon on it,
        don’t make it look like a botched art restoration.

        Same goes for Bhutan by the way,
        which is the most awesome flag in the world,
        holding dragonballs and all that,
        but they forgot to color it in.

    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.

          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.

                Its in the old hiatory books. The Welsh were from the Original Celtic Britons of the Iron age. Before the ‘new’ invaders.

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Britons

                See the red part. Now that’s all squished into the western tiny zone after the various invaders drove them into it
