Which country has the best flag?

What country do you think has best flag? This can be in terms or aesthetic design or messaging or both, not simply based on what country you're from.

You can name the country or simply post an emoji/picture of the flag

Not intended to be a debate btw.

The Republic of South Africa – great symbolism, great mix of colours, great abstract-yet-meaningful design as a flag should be!

(And for similar reasons they also have the best national anthem!)
The People's Republic of China.
The red is symbolic in Chinese history for good fortune and good luck, plus, is also the symbol of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat present in the nation and the Socialist, Proletarian nature of the state.
The large, yellow star is in reference to the oneness of China and the CPC.
The other four stars surrounding it are representative of the four main classes of the PRC. Proletarians, Peasants, Petite Bourgeoisie and National Bourgeoisie. All in orbit to show the unity of the nation through the Party.

To surmise, it is a great mix of symbolism - new and old - and is just generally aesthetically pleasing.

I would say all the flags are beautiful as they each represent their own country in a certain way.
They’re all ugly tbh

Great flag in my opinion (in terms of aesthetic design).

Papua New Guinea.

"no universal symbolism should be attached to any of the colours." apparently. Thanks for the link, interesting, didn't notice the V/Y shape in the flag.

I like the French national anthem. Can't stand the UK one for obvious reasons.

Fascinating!
Wales has a big dragon so that's pretty cool. I like bahamas flag too just for the colours, black adds spice to build on the Ukrainian or Rwandan one.

Decent flag
The Scottish and UK (genuinely like the design) flag look good too in my opinion

Simple yet eye-appealing.

I agree with you
