spoilerFlag of New Mexico

New Mexico state flag, or possibly the flag of some future galactic empire

spoilerFlag of Mozambique

Flag of Mozambique. Vexillology folks will disagree. They are mistaken.

Come to Mozambique, learn about guns and hoes

Hoes or Ho's?

Even kept the bayonet on. That's dedication.

CGP Grey agrees with you on New Mexico . The linked video only deals with state flags, but I don't think he'd be a fan of the Mozambique flag.

Tokyo prefecture has one my favorite flags ever. I wish more flags used purple.

On account of the dragon being fucking sick. Also, buddhism!

It always looks half finished to me. Like the dragon should have been coloured in but never was

South Africa. The design of the flag of North Macedonia is cool but it has always reminded me of McDonalds.

Did you take this photo with a camera or a smartphone ? If the former, it seems you have some dirt or oil on your sensor.

Not an exact response, but this video is pretty good about it: https://youtu.be/HPardMJdy1Y

Macedonia is an amazing place to visit. I met some of the best people there, and some just ok people. I ordered my steak rare in Skopje and the waiter made sure that I was sure that is how I wanted it cooked and I confirmed. We are at dinner with my Macedonian ex's friends and spouses. It comes out pretty much alive. Like maybe they walked it by a candle to heat it up. To save face, I ate every single oz of that steak. Hell of a place if you come from a dollar based country to visit, you are flush with cash and it is fun to spend.
