I'll admit I maybe snubbed Albania but the rest are mid and their design pattern is done better by something already on the list.

Wales is a great country in many respects (go Plaid Cymru!) but its flag is uninspiring and very overrated.

An awesome dragon that is hard to draw! It'd go hard if this were heraldry but for vexillology I value ease of reproduction.

To be fair the dragon's symbolism and history go pretty hard but slapping a heraldic charge on a bicolor and calling it a day is still deeply uninspiring.

Okkkk but if you're gonna violate Vexillological convention it should be in service of something flashier, imo. Sri Lanka is a good example of this.

Like, that's a flag that is built from the ground up with the cool lion in mind! Wales is just a standard bicolor with a jpg copied onto it.

Hell, I think if you want a bicolor with a dragon done right you should look at Bhutan! It actually does something pretty interesting by having the colors be diagonal with the dragon dividing them.

I'm not against unconventional flags but being unconventional *and boring* is a deadly combination.

I could be persuaded to move South Africa down, I guess I just reaaaally like the symbolism there. France is a cool flag historically and because Libery Fraternity Equality but as a design it's middling, imo.

Ehhh, you've seen one tricolor in a line you've seen them all. If Monet had painted the same scene with the flag of like, Estonia, it'd also go hard.
