These 25 countries are renowned for their incredibly beautiful and unique national flags. What country would you add to this list?

1. Wales

That striking red dragon passant on a green and white field is absolutely iconic.

2. Bhutan

Like Wales, Bhutan's flag also features a dragon. If you put Bhutan and Wales' flags facing each other, it would look like their fighting.

3. Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka also has an awesome flag. It features a yellow lion holding a sword in its right fore-paw, which represents the Sinhalese people and their royal lineage.

4. Seychelles

Seychelles' flag features bright colors streaming out, which makes it an incredibly simple, yet graceful.

5. Nepal

Nepal definitely has one of the most unique flags. Unlike other countries, the flag isn't a rectangle, but rather two triangular shapes. It's pretty mathematically elegant in our opinion.

6. Jamaica

Did you know that Jamaica's flag is the only one in the world that does not contain a shade of the colors red, white, or blue? Instead, the flag consists of a gold saltire, which divides the flag into four sections: two of them green and two of them black.

7. South Africa

South Africa's flag is definitely one of the most colorful flags out there. It's a bold representation of the country's diversity. Did you know that the flag's colors are a mix of elements from the flags of the former South African Republic, the ANC, and other historical influences?

8. Canada

Canada's flag features what is probably the single most recognizable country symbol: the 11-pointed Maple leaf. It was introduced in 1965, when it replaced the Canadian Red Ensign design.

9. Switzerland

We'll say what everyone else is thinking: Switzerland's flag looks like a first aid box. The white cross, known as the Swiss or federal cross, is definitely a distinctive feature.

10. North Macedonia

North Macedonia's flag stands out for its stylized yellow sun on a red field, with eight broadening rays extending from the center to the edge of the field. Did you know that it derives from the national emblem and represents the "new sun of Liberty?"

11. Estonia

Honestly, there's nothing super special about Estonia's flag. With a tricolor featuring three equal horizontal bands of blue at the top, black in the center, and white at the bottom, it's just simple and elegant. It's called "sinimustvalge" in Estonian, meaning "blue-black-white."

12. Kiribati

Have you seen Kiribati's flag? It's red, with a gold frigatebird in the upper half, which flys over a gold rising sun. The lower half is blue with three horizontal wavy white stripes that represent the ocean and the country's three archipelagoes.

13. Brazil

Brazil's flag can be recognized from a mile away. It features a green background with a large yellow rhombus. Inside of it is a blue disc with a white equatorial band inscribed with the national motto "Ordem e Progresso," which means "Order and Progress." There are also 27 white stars that represent the country's states and the Federal District.

14. Lebanon

Lebanon's flag stands out for the green cedar tree that appears over the two red stripes flanking a central white stripe. The red stripes are meant to represent the blood shed in the fight for Lebanon, while the white represents purity, peace, and snow-capped mountains.

15. Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea's flag features diagonal divisions, one that is red and another that is black. On the red division, there is a yellow bird-of-paradise, while on the black division, there is a Southern Cross constellation. It's beautiful.

16. Albania

Albana's flag looks like something out of a fantasy novel. It features a red field with a black double-headed eagle in the center. On top of the eagle is a red star with five corners, embroidered all around in gold.

17. Mexico

Mexico's flag is a vertical tricolor of green, white, and red, with the national coat of arms centered on the white stripe. The flag also features an eagle, a cactus, and a serpent. The eagle holding a snake in its beak is the country's national emblem.

The Isle of Man flag is as unique as it gets. It features a triskelion, a symbol composed of three legs, on a red background. It's been their official flag since December 1, 1932.

19. Barbados

Barbados' flag features a vertical triband of blue, gold, and blue, with a black trident head centered in the gold band. The blue bands represent the sea and sky, while the gold represents sand. Designed by Grantley W. Prescod, it was officially adopted in 1966.

20. Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe's flag features horizontal stripes of green-yellow-red above and red-yellow-green below a central black stripe. On the left of the flag is a white hoist triangle that bears a red star and the Zimbabwe Bird.

21. Uganda

Uganda's flag contains six horizontal stripes of equal width, alternating between black, yellow, and red. The center of their flag features a white disc with the national symbol, a gray crowned crane, facing the hoist side. It's an incredibly unique design.

22. Japan

Japan has one of the simplest, cleanest looking flags. The flag, known as the Hinomaru or "circle of the sun," features a rectangular white flag with a red circle in the center, which symobolizes the sun.

23. Eritrea

Eritrea's flag consists of a red isosceles triangle with a green triangle on top and a blue triangle on the bottom. On the red part, there is a yellow emblem, comprised of a wreath and an upright olive branch. Did you know that the shape of the red triangle broadly mimics the shape of the country?
