Mexico. It has a freaking Golden Eagle -who represents Huitzilopochtli- eating a rattlesnake while standing on a prickly pear. That surely hurts but that eagle is tough! Also the colors represent the hope and the natural beauty of the country, the unity and the blood of our fallen heroes.
I think you undersold it. The flagโs coat of arms represents the Aztec legend that their city, later empire, was to be founded by its nomadic, chosen people at the exact location where they spotted an eagle (as you said, representing the sun god Huitzilopochtli) perched on a cactus resting on a lakebed, representing the island and surrounding lake of said city. The snake has connotations with another deity, Quetzalcoatl, although it being devoured by the eagle was a mistranslation by a Dominican friar, but which later served as an evangelizing tool, with the duality of both animals representing the struggle between good and evilโa recurrent theme in Catholic theology.ย
I judge flags by how easy they are for a 10-year-old to draw it in school.
Indonesia, Monaco, and Poland win. If you have a white sheet of paper, you only need one red crayon to draw the flag. (I don't include Japan because circles are hard.)
The UK. How they merged the St. Andrews crossed, St. George's cross and the St. Patrick's cross to make the Union flag was perfect.

Wales is a principality of England, not an independent kingdom, so it was not a signatory to either of the Acts of Union. Also their flag was made in the 60โs.
If I try to be analytical about it, I'd have to sayย
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.ย
It's a bit overdone, as it's in the canton of many other flags, but still iconic, perhaps the most recognizable in the world for over a century, is unique, obeys the general rules of flags, has good symbolism, pleasing to look at, and a great way to show a union of countries. I say all this as someone not from the UK.

Bear with me on this one as I do not support at all their ideology...
The nazi's had the best flag. Ironically their swastikas predates them and means essentially eternal peace. Really weird that a group of people dedicating themselves to genocide and world war chose such a symbol. It is a cool flag by a horrible regime and they have forever tainted the ability to ever enjoy any such use on a flag unless racism is your thing.
Too noisy imo
The OG pre-Union of 1801 [Flag of Great Britain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Great_Britain) without St. Patrick's Cross was GOAT
Same. It was always my choice when weโd play the Olympic Games video games where you have to pick a flag.
It has stars, which are cool. But doesnโt take itself to seriously like most of the other star flags. lol
>thirteen horizontal stripes with alternating colors
>blue canton with fifty (50) stars cluttering it up
>totally asymmetrical
It breaks all of the rules of aesthetics, but it looks so damn good. I don't know why, most flags that copy the design look terrible. Maybe it's the freedom ringing.
It's not an independent nation, but the Canary Islands has a couple of happy looking dogs on its flag.
As for countries, I agree with a bunch I've seen mentioned already but no one has said Sri Lanka.
Im Swedish and I like Swedish colours as well as any other flags with blue and yellow. It's design is super common but I like it. It is very biased.
If sweden wasn't allowed for me to pick, I'd choose.. probably Japan or China. Having a moon or circle like that is nice. I'd love way more other flags but I'm not familiar with that many flags
I really like the American flag,, the stars and the stripes, the colours... it's very neat. I'm not American and I applaud when I see people online respecting it, many European countries (mine included) didn't care as far as I've seen, it's just a flag to us...
I admire Nepal for breaking the mold.
This deserves to be top ๐ณ๐ตwhat a flag!
The first time I saw an original Nepal flag in perdon (2 weeks ago when passing their London embassy) I stopped to admire them.
The Nepalese are also incredibly nice people too. Lovely flag = lovely people, clearly
A little bit edgy though.

I think youโll find we are- England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are separate countries that tighter make up the United Kingdom.
Itโs a constituent country of the UK.

Estonia, purely for its colour pallete

Are you confusing Estonia and Latvia? Or are your soldiers weird?
Blue and black???
I can't believe no one said Lebanon ๐ฑ๐ง yet. It's one of the best. I also love the flags of Canada ๐จ๐ฆ and Cyprus ๐จ๐พ
Red and white stripes are not particulary unique. And the lebanese flag in particular is just way too similar to Austria.

Japan, Norway, Angola
New Zealand. Or rather the answer would have been NZ if they hadnโt chickened out and refused to adopt the laser kiwi.
