Flags

Aesthetically, what is your favourite flag?

I have always been a fan of the Nepalese flag as it eschews the conventions of normal flag making, as it's two triangles rather than a typical rectangular shape.

What do you think?

seriously, it has a bear on it?

Indeed it does although I am not too sure as to its significance (bears to live in California but bear bating/fighting was a popular sport in the state in the early 20th century and it may relate to that). A lot of the US state flags are quite good actually :)

I do like the St George Flag - I prefer it to the Japanese one for some reason even though both are equally simple. Georgia and Malta, of course, have also got the same flag, demonstrating it's popularity.

In many ways I do like the flags with crosses on. Finland and Sweden both have nice flags, as does Iceland :)
