Sweden has a very pretty flag.◊ It's such a lovely shade of blue and a marvelous shade of yellow. It's a shame that the five-eigths proportion is so rarely used, and it really makes the yellow middle fifth and the vertical stripe that goes from seven-sixteenths of the length to nine-sixteenths of the length stand out.

Magnificent ratios, they appeal to my eye, and that simple splash of two colours says more than an intricate and overstuffed image.

Then again, I'm totally biased, as my ancestry is Swedish.

Wales.◊ Duh. Who else can brag about having a motherflippin' dragon on their flag?

The Swedes do indeed have a pretty flag, though.

‽‽‽‽^These are interrobangs. Love them. Learn them. Use them.

Austria! :D

You see, it's red, white then red again! T-That's great and amazing and artistic and original a-and... >__>

Wales.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great

@Haldo: Well, there's Bhutan and Malta (the image inside the circle is of a guy killing a dragon).

Still, I vote Wales.

To the waking world I say,"Aha!"

I've always found the flag of Palau quite nice, for the same reasons as the Swedish one. Whilst looking for that link, though, I came across a flag it used to use that is also good — you don't get rotated stars often.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Mozambique is the only country in the world to have a gun on it's flag.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

I'm fond of Libya's old flag, the pre-revolutionary one. Also Norway's, because I like the colours and because of this◊.

Oh, and Mozambique of course.

Libya's old flag is so amazing! You can see the depth and the description of the nation - just by looking at it.

My favourite flag is of the EuropeanUnion because f*cking stars, man. That's 12 f*cking stars. No other flag has f*cking stars on their flag, arranged in a perfect circle.

But I'm biased there. Therefore, my favourite flag is that of the Spanish Kingdom◊ (or Spain ) because it has that neato coat of arms on the left. That's pretty cool!

The USA did once.

"Yup. That tasted purple."

The first US flag is also better because it has one more star.

I say, the South African flag.Probably because I'm South African, but the colours are nice, in my opinion.

The flag without the article.
