Love this post, however, you have missed one of the best flags out there - the Welsh flag 🏴 -how many flags have a dragon on!! (I am a little biased)
Seriously, Chaz you have no idea how relevant this flag email was! Rex my 7 year old is so into flags - I can't wait to dazzle him with all of this new knowledge. You're the best!
Those more observant might have noticed Great Britain's Union flag, as featured on the Seychelles here, has not white bands of equal width. A story goes that in the past captured garrisons would fly the Union Jack upside down to warn any approaching comrades. This worked as long as the wind was blowing, they had a telescope, and a geek who knew which way you ran it up the flagpole.
Really interesting post, Chaz; I'd like it if you did more! My vote for the most boring flag is Libya's previous one that was solid green. Did you know that Nepal has the world's only non-rectangular flag? 🇳🇵
My brother and I just went to a screening of MP and the Holy Grail last night. Great timing!
any kind of nerdiness is a total green flag for me, so to speak, so keep it up

The chair leg shortening is the kind of chaotic good that we need more of.
