Which country has the coolest flag???
So which is it? Obviously I can't put all options in one poll, so don't throw abuse at me if your favourite isn't included ok 
It seems to me that the smallest and most insignificant countries have the most complex flags. (with a few exeptions of course)
If you don't know what one of the flags look like, you'll probably find it here:
http://fotw.unislabs.com/flags/iso3166.html
Libya's is one of my favourites (all green), the Union Jack is cool ass well.

i always liked the Greek flag
However, there's no denying the greatness of the Canadian Flag.
It says "yeah, our flag has a leaf on it...we don't really give a ****..."

I don't think it's the coolest but the South African flag is more smartly done then most. Plus it is very symbolic showing the two parts of society becoming one. There really isn't another flag like it in the world so I give it points for uniqueness.

It's cool but it has more then just a passing resembalance to the war time Japanese flag.

http://apolyton.net/forums/images/flags for all the flags on Apolyton. Even the ones that don't work yet!
FYROM, Tibet, Sami are currently my favourites.

IMHO the coolest flags are USA, UK and Spain. Both USA and UK have nice colors, an original and sophisticated (yet simple enough) pattern. In other words, they are just beautiful. As for the Spanish flag, although it is pretty simple, a pure combination of red and yellow colors gives an impression of joy and alegria. However, if some other color gets mixed in together with red and yellow, it becomes horrible. I tell you, just horrible and tasteless. 
The Russian flag is nice despite being simple. But what bothers me is that it is extremely unoriginal. A lot of countries have similar-looking flags. 
Also let me mention that the Soviet banner is a masterpiece, IMHO. Yellow hammer and sickle on a red background looks gorgeous. Besides, there is a deep meaning behind this image.
If I had to pick the worst flags, I would go with Germany and Belgium. For a red/black combo is persistently associated with a funeral in my mind.

"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

The American flag was original in 1776.
