So Bhutan is on here but not Wales? Wtf
I'm biased.. but the Portuguese flag, beats the Union Jack by miles..
Flashes the Portuguese flag in the beginning, totally ignores it from the list – or honorable mentions, whatsoever.
I'm not going to make comparisons between my country's flag and anothers: that's just unfair and has no point at all, since, generically speaking, they all say a lot to their respective national population, and their symbols do not come just out of a hat.
But, having this said, Portugal's flag has close to 9 centuries of History on it, and all of the center elements have a strong symbolic meaning. Besides that, all put together, makes it a very appealing flag.
Last but not least, it's not the first or even the second time +WatchMojo.com delivers a slap in the face of Portuguese, so I really have to leave the question: do you really have something against Portugal, or that just turned out to be a hobbie of yours?
What about The Syeshells
I'm Irish
what is Honorable mention mean? I'm just asking because I'm from Philippines
The British flag is the most fucking ugly flag I. The world
Whoever the hell said albanian is one of the "Best designed" flags is absolutely moronic, it looks like a burnt piece of chicken and is not original at all. The double headed eagle is stolen from Serbs and the Byzantine Greeks, and from the land of Skanderbeg. However, countries like Serbia and Montenegro also have double headed eagles but with significantly better looks and more designs on it, while albania's flag is just an eagle Serbia's and Montenegro's also include additional heraldic elements from medieval times.
Additional retardation by watchmojo: albania did not "successfully revolt against the ottoman empire, gaining its independence." – It was created in 1913, a year after the ottoman collapse in Europe, after Serbia, Montenegro, and Greece were forced to give up lands due to the commands of the Berlin Congress. Here is a map of the Balkans in 1912, albania was carved out later: http://orig01.deviantart.net/3992/f/2015/340/c/d/balkans_1912_1913_by_vah_vah-d9j8brw.jpg

Albanian flag of the 2headed eagle is a copy of the Byzantine empire flag of 2headed eagle.
Albania was a province of the Byzantine Empire, during the time that the flag was adopted.
The 2headed eagle denotes vast empires, the one head looks on the east and the other on the west.
