Which country has the coolest flag??? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

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:

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.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

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.

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.
