I think Japan's flag is pretty cool, and i always liked the Union Jack. Canada's flag is pretty boring to me. It doesn't have a lot of history and looks too much like a product logo or something.
Hi everyone ...thanks for welcoming me to the forum... The Union Flag , to give it its correct name ( it's only a Union Jack when flown from a boat or ship) is actually an amalgam of 3 flags, Scottish ( Blue " X"cross) English ( red cross) and Welsh ( Red X cross)...personally I always thought it looked it's best as Pete Townshends jacket circa 1965!!!

The flag should have been rediesigned when Wales became a Principality. The one in your post is absurd. If they're having the dragon, we should have the three lions, the Scots; the thistle, and the Irish...the potato!
This was in the news recently - a Welsh MP has called for the welsh dragon to be incorporated. Here is one suggestionPersonally I think this puts too much emphasis on the dragon. I would be happy for it to appear in the upper left quandrant.

I suspect that one could also publish a book denying the Holocaust here without fear of legal reprisal; probably even a book trying to justify pedophilia, or overthrow of the US. I believe the bright line is that one can't be reasonably perceived as inciting such illegal activity. So you could write a book saying that the overthrow of the US is the right thing to do, but you could be penalized if it were reasonably thought you were trying to get others to do it in an illegal fashion (violence, etc.). Things have changed somewhat here over the past 7 years, but that's a different story, covered in other threads on this forum.
Here's how it works:why do you have 3 different flags for one. greedy!well, on the other hand we include all 50 states.

Here's how it works:So you can see, Wales is not represented in the flag. This is because when James VI of Scotland became James I of England, the two Kingdoms were merged, and the flag became that of Great Britain. At that time Wales was part of England. The current flag dates from 1801, when The Kingdom of Great Britain was merged with The Kingdom of Ireland, to form The United Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ireland. I hope you're all paying attention. I shall be asking questions later!
