Yes. Our Freedom of Speech and Expression laws allow the burning of our flag. Or any flag for that matter.

It is legal to burn the national flag, as well as a foreign flag, or any other flag. However, it is definitely NOT a good idea to burn the Texan flag here, because we are extremely patriotic about this, so you’ll permanently undermine your own reputation.
TEXAS - goodbye, everyone :)

That burning the Banner of Arms of the Dracunian Realm out of provocation—even in a casual way—or incitement to anti-nationalism or anti-nationalistic tendencies—is considered unpatriotic could merely be an understatement. Desecration of the Banner of Arms is a borderline crime punishable by death—including the Imperial Standard of the Dracunian sovereign, the Standard of the Consort (if any) or of any member of the Imperial Family, or whatever flag. Such acts are consituted as lèse-majesté and therefore blasphemy on a religious level (as the Dracunian Emperor is crowned by the Auspicious Miracle), which is also punishable by death.

(Good Lord, I believe we've been gravedigging this thread.)

Under the constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms of speech, it is legal to burn any flag on Mars. However, burning the Flag of the Union of Democratic Martian States or the Flag of the Workers' Party is likely to attract ridicule among the patriotic masses.

intentionally setting things on fire is considered a misdemeanour or a felony depending on severity of the fire due to the fact that my nation is a space station and oxygen is a limited resource.

Absolutely not.
10 years in prison if it is a civil flag (just the black-cyan-black stripes), possible execution if it's the state flag(black-cyan-black along with the red macedon cross.)
Last thing young tajik children see before being executed by Pashtun police officers.
I am an ex-Muslim who converted to Christianity. I am extremely racist(Indo-Europeans forever baby, except for the North Indians, I don't like them.) also but I can still have civil conversations, and ask that you do the same. I accept homosexuals(Bisexual myself, heh), but I don't believe a guy can change genders...
Homosexual rights are human rights. Bisexual Rights are human rights. Trans rights are satanic.
