What country has the coolest flag?

[Signa]

TBH even though people will complain I would have to say Nazi Germany had an awesome flag. Nothing beat Nazi aesthetics though they made those Nuremberg Rallies look amazing. As to something more modern...hmmm I guess the UK I find most flags bland anymore and I find the older flags of the Prussian Empire and Russia to be pretty damn cool now it is all about the damn tri-color.

I was considering saying this in the original post, but I don't want to come off as pro-nazi. But seriously, if you remove all negative connotation from it, it is a nice flag. The swastika is a very simple and cool looking symbol. It used to be a character for peace. Damn Nazis had to ruin everything.

The flag I saw that got me thinking about making this thread was the Brazil flag. Pretty blue orb on contrasting yellow diamond on contrasting green background. Very nice.

Edit: Damn that Vatican flag is cool. I love the iconic images in it. Pope's hat, vestments, keys to heaven, and even the crosses in the teeth of the keys. That's a little deeper of an analysis than what I was saying to put into liking your flags, but all that stuff just jumped out at me instantly.

Thank you!

It's nice to see someone impartial.

Unfortunately, I have to go conclude that Wales has the best flag. It has a fucking dragon on it!

I can't help but agree with you. Not just because of the Welsh in me (though it helps) but as you pointed out its got a dragon!

Any flag that is not rectangular is a cool flag.

The Strong Badia flag. Awesome.

Oh hell yes. High-five.

OMFG GANDALF.... Best flag anyone ?

The Icelandic flag may not be the coolest flag but it's nice to look at

And besides we have the coolest national crest:

That's a poison breathing dragon, an eagle with a wingspan measured in kilometers, a giant (think bigger then a mountain) firebreathing bull and a giant with a staff.

I have a question for you all. Answers on the back of a postcard (as always). Cookies for the winner!

Which TWO countries have square flags?

OT I'm seeing a lot of non-country flags in the post, but anyway my favorite flag is the Seychelles flag (google it). Its pretty. Also sorry to disappoint all the welsh-men out there but I think the flag of Bhutan has a dragon on it too.

Wales or Jamaica, both please Chrome greatly.

I always thought South Korea had the neatest flag. You know the one with the yin-yang.

 

[Agayek]

Definitely the flag of the Confederate States of America.

 

[AroLombardi]

Turkey's flag.
