Please vote for the best flags; you may choose up to six flags. The top six will be moving on to the next round. This is NOT a vote for which country is "better". We are strictly voting based on the aesthetics and the design of each flag, not taking into account any geopolitical issues. Below each flag you'll find a link to the Wikipedia article about that flag, if you're curious to find out more about its history and symbolism.

I went with Croatia, Barbados, Bhutan, Swaziland, Zambia, and Somalia. Bhutan's flag is one of my favorites. It just looks really cool. So does the flag of Barbados. I like Zambia's a lot, too, pretty unique design. One of the worst has to be Cyprus, sorry.

For reasons of my own, I chose from what appeals to what 4 appeals to my eye.

Croatia, South Sudan, and Cyprus are tied for the last two spots (how is Cyprus here?). We need some more votes up in here. Personally, I'm still hoping for Zambia and Somalia, but looks like that won't happen.

Can't believe people picked Algeria. That flag looks like it took 30 seconds to put together.
