Which Country Has the Best Looking Flag?
I'd say Britain does. Plenty of meaning behind it and it just looks plain cool.

Oh yeah, and Prussia.

The White Ensign is better than the Union Flag.

I dunno bout the Cross of St George (English), I like the Union Jack better. The crosses together symbolises a lot too.

I like the flags of Mongolia, Tibet and Nauru (I'm too lazy to post any images)...

By the way... This post was preceded by a whopping 18 minutes of OT silence!

I think the confederate states of america flag looked cool. The one on top of the General Lee in the Dukes of Hazard. But then again I may just be a dukes of hazard fan.

Well there's the UN and EU flags. They're not really nationalist (until we discover the aliens that is )

Look at the thread title "Which country has the best looking flag". I was speaking in terms of flags for different countries/states/nations.

If hell existed and had a flag, I'm sure it'd be cool.

Soviet Union flag was damn cool.
China's flag is good
South Korea
North Korea
Old school German Iron cross
Old school Japanese Rising Sun
Vietnam
Great Britain
Canada
Prussia
Wales
Macedonia

Those are the best ones off of the top of my head. Best of all time is probably the USSR. Truly a elegant design.

cool. If that rifle was bigger, I'd use it for my flag. But I'll stick with Bhutan. Such a great country to visit in the summer.
