The Best Looking Flag
Please vote for visual preference only! I have only included flags I personally think look cool or nice, so I'm not including boring or plain flags (France, etc.), and Canada is not included because the Canadian flag is super lame looking and I'm not giving anyone a chance to vote for it. I also excluded any flag that has the Union Jack on it because fuck colonialism and also they kind of look like a bad power point slide. We all love the countries we and our families are from, but please leave personal bias out, thank you.
