Do you like your (RL) nation's flag?

Postby Flammable Ice » Sun Jul 26, 2009 8:03 am

Do you like your (real-life) nation's flag? Is there anything you would add, change or remove?

For example, do you think your flag contains historical elements that are no longer relevant? Or are they missing national symbols that should be there?

Edit: It may be useful to state which nation you are from and maybe include a link to a picture of the flag.

S'alright. Certainly distinctive. Should maybe add a boat or some waves or something, though.

the UK flag is missing Wales, largely cos the welsh were beaten into submission by the English long before the Act of Union.

it also needs more crazy.

Nope it's pretty good, all the elements hold what is needed and represents Australia and modern Australians. It talks about the countries origins, where it is located and the structure of the nation.

What change do you think would fix this? I've seen two suggested alternatives. One features the Welsh red dragon, another adds the colours of the St. David's Cross.

it also needs more crazy.

What do you mean? Increased complexity?

Mine is alright, although I do wish we retained the old Red Ensign or even the British flag. For some reason I find the British flag is far better than ours.

The Union flag (uk flag) is pretty cool. I'm at odds with myself over whether I'd support including Wales, some of the flag designs for adding Wales are quite nice but I do like the flag we have. Would Walse quit trying to devolve out of the Union if it got on the flag?

The USA flag is very nice. I also like the British flag. Can't stand a lot of the European flags though. Too plain.

The US flag looks fine, although it must be a pain when camp kids sew together american flags for whatever reason. They always seem to have a vastly reduced number of stars. >_>

And once again, the UK should just replace the upper left quadrant with the Welsh flag. Not only is it only fair to do so, but it'll pretty much eliminate the incidents of people accidentally hoisting the flag upside-down!

I think not. That's where the flag of the Country Who Is In Charge Of Your Colony goes.

the dragon on the flag would be too much, but maybe a splash of green somewhere (like green outlines around the red lines)
