5/10, just seems overly simplistic to me, and (at least for me) the black doesn't contrast with the blue field well enough for said black to pop out.

I like the color scheme quite a bit, and I appreciate the aesthetic it produces, but I'm not the biggest fan of the dino, unfortunately. 5/10

I love the colors and the simplicity. It's not too simple that it's boring. Also love the symbol in the middle. 9/10.

I am not too fond of the white star in the yellow background; it gives very little contrast until you cannot see the star. Moreover, the tricolor scheme does not seem to be memorable, especially when it is near Micronesia. I would recommend exploring elements according to your nation's location. For example, you could try turtles, waves, and other things that evoke "Pacific." I would give a 5/10 for the current flag.

Honestly a very impressive flag. Simple and aesthetically pleasing, with nice colour choices. Additionally it is proportioned well such that it is easy to see all the details at the thumbnail size. I would not make any changes to it so I guess 10/10.

If you wanted to update it for whatever reason maybe just small changes to the shape of the mountain might be a good place to start. There again is nothing wrong with the mountain but for some odd reason I would feel wrong if I didn't make a suggestion.

I see nothing wrong with this flag. It's bold, fairly unique (I don't remember seeing that star design before), and attention-grabbing, but not obnoxious, actually quite the contrary: I find the star's design oddly pleasant, and it's a nice break from the more dull, tried-and-tested, monochromatic star. Its size relative to the rest of the flag is good, too, and the palette is nice.

10/10, there's nothing I would change.

I like the orange, blue and white color combination, and it's certainly a unique pattern that I don't think I've seen on a flag before. My issue though, is that the pink symbol in the middle contrasts poorly with the background (at least from a distance, I find it looks sorta alright up close) The symbol is also probably hard to make out at a distance, and very complex to recreate. Still, a great flag so....

7/10.

Don't know the Lore, but having BIG WORDS across a flag without working it into the aesthetics of the overall design always takes a little bit away for me. Brown and light blue also kind of doesn't work for me and it's a little bit hard to tell if the beaver is meant to be multi-headed (I assume so)

I really love the unique colors and simplicity of your use of a tricolor, which while certainly not an original or inspired design for a flag remains tried and true in how sharp it can look. In particular, I think you do an amazing job and I really enjoy the blue, yellow and green color combination. My only complaint (and its minor) is the white star in the middle, which is slightly difficult to see against the bright yellow, especially from a distance. Other than that, friend, you have an awesome flag.

9/10.

It's aight. California's flag is recognizable and though it violates many typical flag rules it does it in a fashion that's...excusable, in a way.

I don't much like California variant flags, but the shade of blues and unique Beaver emblem at least redeem the flag, even if the Beaver'd look better with just one head (I know it's referencing the two-headed NCR bear, don't worry.)

Overall, 7.5/10. Not bad, fairly memorable, yet also somewhat generic in a...paradoxical sort of way.

Frisemark's flag has always stuck out as great. The color scheme is really nice, and I love the shade of blue they chose for the stripes. The center emblem is detailed and interesting. It really captures the Nordic feeling that the country has, and I always enjoy looking at it. 9/10.

I've always liked that colour combo (a real life example being the Colorado Avalance), i think the wider aspect ratio also adds to the flag.

The middle section looks nice but the detailing can be hard to resolve at smaller sizes, the wreath especially can look like text at small sizes. This is however a minor issue all things considered.

9/10 is my final ranking.

8/10 The Gold and green work really well together, and the brid ( I think that's a seagull) gives a unique flair to the flag. Only complain is the star placements feel a tad off- especially considering the spare empty space beneath the bird's wingspan in particular.
Edit: Ninja'd
6/10: The Flag works pretty nice, but it feels a tad bland, with the common White/Navy/Gold color scheme.
The symbol on the middle of the flag is the best part, but even it has one minor issue. While it's technically centered, visually, it looks as though it is slightly higher than the center, due to there being only one point at the absolute bottom (The foot) and three distinct points at the absolute top (Both wings as well as the cross).

It feels a bit too empty for my taste, and the checkmark isn't really a symbol I find interesting. The blue bars are also just a bit too small and too bright. I apologize. 4/10

I love the black-and-gold combo and the unique variation on the incredibly common star symbol (I mean, I have one) on the left of the flag, and the colors on the left seperated by white to add to the appeal of the flag. It's also very unique so it sticks in your mind, which is what you want. Definitely a 9/10, if only because I usually prefer slightly lighter colors on flags instead of the slightly more muted ones the right side of your flag goes for.

8/10, I really like it. The light blue and white work well together and the image in the middle of the flag is a very nice touch, it's a great spin on the California flag. My only problem with the flag is the text, it seems a bit out of place and kind of breaks the whole of the design. But beyond that, nice flag!
