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.

Went with just four here: Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Micronesia, and The Bahamas. I like the colors Luxembourg and The Bahamas use, very bright. And I really like Bulgaria's shade of green.

Gotta love Italy. Their flag has become a fashion statement in its own right.

The most exciting final ever would be between Luxembourg and the Netherlands :)

I prefer Luxembourg's shades. But it's true there are lots of very similar flags (Romania and Chad are only distinguished by very slightly alternate shades, for example).

Really surprised to see Zimbabwe in the lead so far. Something about it doesn't work for me.
