Aw screw it, I'll do battle with ignorance today:

There is no such thing as an AK-47. "AK-47" is a made-up Westernized term first created by the CIA and popularized by Hollywood, and does not refer to any weapon ever made in the Soviet Union, ever. This probably has something to do with NATO's fascination with putting numbers after weapon designations, something the Soviets were not as fond of doing. What 99% of people think is an AK-47 is actually called an AKM, and what the other .9999999999 percent think is an AK-47 is simply an AK (Type 1 through 3).

Barbados's is pretty cool. I mean, Poseidon's trident? That's pretty badass.

It is how they keep Chinese hackers from stealing their flag.

The best flag ever is clearly that of the Empire of the Great Qing:

My favourite (national) flag in current use, though, would probably be the flag of Bhutan.

Second is the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Because it's my homeland, and because it's a pretty cool and distinctive design.

I like flags with red, yellow, and green, such as Lithuania and Mali.

Look at that red circle!

The Russian flag is the king of Pan-Slavic colours.

Serbia's is much more aesthetically pleasing.

I am partial to the flag of Iceland.

of course if scotland leaves, I wonder...do we get to keep it? I hope so as the old one is rubbish.

My thoughts exactly.

I love the Union flag, I think it's a unique masterpiece of flag creation. All the proposed alternatives make me cringe. And the plan to add the welsh dragon was terrible, I hope that idea never comes up again. I have nothing against wales, it's just that sticking a dragon on it would ruin it.

If Scotland leaves then I hope we can keep it. The English flag is painfully dull.

Late 19th-century Puerto Rican poet Lola Rodríguez de Tió once wrote
that “Cuba and Puerto Rico are the two wings of the same bird.”
Both islands share a similar culture and have comparable historical
developments

Try Monaco and Indonesia. And Poland.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

I approve of this as the coolest.

No love for Mexico? We actually won a contest like this a few years back

Russia. And a boss anthem to boot.

The Tibetan flag, also known as the "snow lion flag" and the "Free Tibet flag", was a flag of the military of Tibet, introduced by the 13th Dalai Lama in 1912 and used in the same capacity until 1959. Designed with the help of a Japanese priest, it reflects the design motif of Japanese military's Rising Sun Flag. Since the 1960s, it is used a symbol of the Tibetan independence movement.

Free Tibet! Solidarity and resistance! "They may imprison our bodies, but our minds and hearts will always be FREE!"

How about ours:

I seem to be a sucker for flowers. . I love both the Macau (which was already shown in the thread) and Hong Kong flags.

Bhutan or Brazil.
