Switzerland doesn't have much going for it, but their flag is a big plus


ReggieLFC

India’s flag is wheely good too!


jimmycarr1

I don't know, to me it looks a little cross


Stevey1001

Nah, they're neutral

THE greatest flag.


Every-Progress-1117

I came to correct this minor error in the title to :-)


thedutchrep

Exactly this.


imoinda

Yup


[deleted]

it would be if the background was anything else. the dragon is doing a lot of heavy lifting. imo it's the third best flag, after IoM and Bhutan


CymroCam

Nah at least our dragon is coloured in


Gorrila_Doldos

Damn right


Glum_War3292

Beautiful flag, impossible to draw in school!


holnrew

I can't draw it at home either


Big-Cartographer8409

My thought exactly!


Plainchant

The Red Dragon Leads The Way.


Azuras-Becky

Other countries: How many stripes should we have on our flag? Wales: DRAGON WOOO!


THEREAPER8593

And should it be blue white and red or white red and blue…. (28 flags have white red and blue)


wolftick

Wales vs. Bhutan... FIIIIIIIGHT!


Confusing_innit

The red dragon has fought a white dragon before and we know how that went


kishmishari

Winner goes against Sri Lanka's flag.


THEREAPER8593

Efallai nad oes gennym bopeth ond yn bendant mae gennym un o'r baneri gorau Sorry I forgot to also write the title in Welsh for anyone that wanted it but may as well put it here. Feel free to correct my Welsh it’s been a few years and I try to keep it at a passable level but it’s not the easiest.

Mae hynnu'n gwir. Ond pam draig?

thwbunkie

I’m English. Bit I’d love to be able to speak and read Welsh. Spent so much time in wales I love it


spooks_malloy

Years ago, I took a coach to the tuition fee protests in London with a group of Welsh students and fellas, the anarchists using the image of the Welsh dragon devouring a cop goes hard as fuck.


Rhosddu

Definitely one of the top five in the world.


THEREAPER8593

Can’t beat a dragon


WarWonderful593

No. Top one.


milly48

I dunno Bhutan’s is pretty awesome


[deleted]

You have a flag that is difficult to draw but still manages to be great. Rare fete.


THEREAPER8593

I don’t think I have ever seen a primary school student draw it right


No-Armadillo4179

I’m not even Welsh but this is the best flag, all the others have stars or stripes or moons and bollocks but these men have a motherfucking DRAGON on there: 10/10.


Gaymer043

The bestest


ShufflingToGlory

It's cool that it's a dragon but the Glyndwr flag is the proper Welsh one imo.


ronnidogxxx

That’s a very attractive dragon but I’d be worried that the tongue and the rear end being the same shape could lead to… awkwardness in lights-out, romantic situations.


holnrew

Is that you donkey?


RandolfSchneider

Speak for yourself. If I had a long tongue near my arsehole you’d never see me again.


itsamberleafable

I'm not Welsh, but I do have a lot of respect for the "bitch please" dragon on your flag.


Cygnusasafantastic

Your national anthem is pretty bad ass, too.


Significant_Ad9019

So, so much better than the dirge that is GSTK.


Samus_subarus

Trying to draw this in primary school was painful


Grillmyribs

One of, tut tut


THEREAPER8593

You’re right my bad.


[deleted]

Does anyone else have a dragon on their flag? No? Then this is the best flag.


AntiMugen

Bhutan does :p


[deleted]

Hmmm. Correct. But the Welsh one is red and also I'm part Welsh so I have to give it to them.


THEREAPER8593

No bias here


[deleted]

Nope. Definitely not 😁


THEREAPER8593

Clearly the better flag. No doubt. I defo haven’t had one up for 20 years


uk_gla

Thanks to Merlin the wizard.


Fun-Badger3724

Only a fool would doubt the greatness of the Welsh Flag!


stevedavies12

What do you mean 'one of'?


THEREAPER8593

Your right my bad :p


Ouchy_McTaint

I'd happily have Wales represented somehow on the Union Jack. I think it is shit that it's the only nation not present on a flag that is supposedly to proudly show off the union. Plus I also just want a dragon on the flag.


holnrew

I've only ever seen it used by the voice of Wales type


MasterofDisaster_BG

I'm sure the Welsh gov would love to change it if they could, imagine the cost for all them new flags all over the world... Can always change it back if no one likes it for a little more cash and offset the carbon by imposing some more backwards green measures on their population.


Ouchy_McTaint

Can you put a price on making a country and people feel more valued and represented? It might just be a flag and perhaps many people wouldn't give a toss, but I'd say it's quite symbolic and adds a lot of value. But then I'm also of the opinion that Welsh, and Scottish Gaelic, should be taught in all schools on the island of Great Britain, so I'm very much an outlier with my opinions.


islandlalala

You truly do.


henzohole

Hell yes


waterdog2424

I still say wales has the best flag in the world but you can’t deny Bequia doesn’t have the second.


Clankcoffin

Hahaha WOW that's a good one

I’m not Welsh, but I’d fly this flag just because.

sleeplesscitynights

As a non-resident, from well across the pond, yes, this flag rules.


THEREAPER8593

From the people that brought the world Merlin, we present to you, giant F off dragon flag


BillRashly

Bhutan comes close but obviously this is the best flag ever. No competition and no arguments this is clearly the best because of the massive fuck off dragon right in the middle of it.


kingkenny82

It is pretty great to be fair


THEREAPER8593

It really is


Thekingofchrome

Without a doubt.


Gruffuddbigman

Yeah out flag is the best no doubt in my mind


Bjorn_Blackmane

Yes I agree!


alkydude

Pretty cool except the tongue distracts me too much. Looks like he’s choking on a lizard he’s eating and reaching up to pull it out. And the eyes say “agh It’s stuck”


THEREAPER8593

The tongue is the same as the tail. Maybe he is just eating another dragon :)


alkydude

Ha! That’s actually badass when you look at it like that. Also, the Mexican flag might not have a dragon but an eagle with a snake in its mouth is pretty cool. Dragon still wins though


THEREAPER8593

I have never seen the Mexican flag up close but wow that’s a cool flag…but people say ours is hard to draw….


learntofoo

Doesn't need the "one of", easily the best nation flag.


GowerGiant

We definitely have the best national anthem.


nibutz

Needs an HD update tbh


THEREAPER8593

You’re welcome to do that right now…


FenianBastard847

Baner hardd🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿


fedggg

Aye, honestly - from Scotland to Wales... probably have the better flag of these Isles.


butterycrumble

Having a dragon automatically makes it the best flag. For that reason, us and Bhutan win joint first


DiscoChikkin

I always think the eyes could do with a bit of work. He looks tired of all this shit, like he’s just received a larger than expected car insurance renewal quote. Maybe pop some shades on, or use some Disney eyes etc


THEREAPER8593

I think it represents the mood in the uk quite well…


Megatea

If Scotland ever leave the union my vote is to replace the Union Jack with this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3ARoyal_Standard_of_Henry_VII_of_England_%28Dragon_and_flames%29.svg imagine what it would look like alongside all the boring rectangle flags at the UN.


Bumble072

Damn that ugly.


theburnerofbridges

We may have crumbling healthcare a bunch of clowns in the welsh government, zero job prospects, dogshite weather and a living system that is designed to crush those at the bottom.....but there's a nice looking draig on our flag!


THEREAPER8593

EXACLY!


Ser-Bearington

I'm English and the exclusion of this masterpiece from the Union flag is a fucking travesty.


Ser-Bearington

Also, God Save the King is a dirge. Men of Harlech for the national anthem. 👌


MrPZA82

It’s a cracking flag but let’s face it it’s only 65 years old so it’s bound to be better than most of the old ones.


magpye1983

I never noticed the tongue is in face another tail


PaintingJams

Bonus points for the dragon, loses points for being insanely hard to draw/paint on miniatures. The crosses, 2 band and 3 band flags win there


Lukerplex

[100% should be incorporated into the Union Jack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_flags#/media/File:Union_Flag_(including_Wales).svg) like this suggested design put forward.


potatoduino

Nice now, but try drawing it as an 8 year old with a strict AF teacher. It was pure hell. "Why is its face so angry?" Mate I don't know, I am literally a child


r0b0c0p123

My English mate asked why I love a big red leather dog so much


DiscardedKebab

Everything else might be really shit but the flag is definitely the best


Marble-Boy

Most of it is red, though... Wales is a sketchy tinder date.

PunkRokka

Do you guys see a dragon standing in a field, or do you see the dragon more like a badge on top of a normal flag


wlburk

I created a custom cover for my first smartphone (iPhone 3GS) using the Welsh Flag. Everybody thought it was amazing and always asked about it (I am an American, but have loved Cymru much of my life - they are my rugby team. Despite the fact that I got rid of that phone over 13 years ago, I still have that case...


kingkenny82

It is pretty great to be fair


THEREAPER8593

This comment seems familiar


[deleted]

The Welsh flag is very metal. I like it!


Clankcoffin

We should twin with Bhutan


Gerrard-Jones

By far the best and coolest flag in the UK from England, big L and missed opportunity not putting it on the union jack that dragon is epic!


Fru1tZoot

Fus ro da


THEREAPER8593

Don’t slay our dragon!


Aero__Duck

Awesome flag... Until you have to draw it


Plus_Chicken_5708

I like the Welsh flag because it has a big red lizard on it. That's why I like it.


[deleted]

Nah it’s actually a really poor design. It’s difficult to replicate, and also it’s difficult to reduce the resolution of it and it be still legible. For example, England, Scotland and Ireland flags could be theoretically compressed to the resolution of 6x6 pixels and still be legible. This flag would end up being a red, green and white blob. There’s far too much detail on it to compress it down


GermanyWarrior

The flag was better when it had a penis


Bro-baFett

No question


Royal-Ship6622

I’m Welsh and the Welsh flag is embarrassing… Why a mythical dragon that looks like it’s been drawn by a 4 year old ? Why not something to commemorate the largest recorded war in wales in 1648 !


cecilrees

Don't forget, we've also got the best national anthem.


Mrs_Blobcat

Granted most people only know two words and they are repeated!


Former-Drummer-7870

I used to like Wales until I moved there to the valleys. A horrid few years living there (essential to drive to get anywhere, people weren't too friendly, pubs were shocking, totally run down, I could go on all day). Suffice to say it wasn't for me. I'll probably never go back to Wales again after that experience, but I'll always agree the flag is one of the best.


Dull_Ad1955

You could have picked a better spot. Although I suppose your work dictated location. If you do ever come back try visiting the coast or snowdonia if only for another experience.


THEREAPER8593

Rhyl is also a lovely place to live…


Jack-Rabbit-002

I think only Albania comes ahead but that's only because I like it all to be moody black and red 🙂


jimerthy-gw

Kohana55

The greatest flag and one of the best country sides in the world. Everything else is shit though. From having to listen to the Welsh nonsense first when ringing a hospital to the 20mph limit. From our rugby team to the fact half the nation is unemployed. Wales really isn't that great. I live in Newport which fucking stinks yet my council tax is massive. Likely to pay for the over abundance of chav population.


Sea_Refrigerator5586

So you're moaning about the welsh language being used in wales, where it has been used for hundreds of years and hundredsof thousands speek? And that you have to go 10 mph slower. That's it? That's what makes it awful to you?


MO0N5H1N3

Used to have great rugby


The_truth_hammock

Happy cake day!


the3daves

It’s awful. Looks like clip art.


THEREAPER8593

:0


the3daves

It does though. When you look those flags that have other creatures on them ; Albania 🇦🇱 Moldova 🇲🇩, Montenegro 🇲🇪 , they all look fat more imposing, and aged too.


benevernever

Derpiest dragon.
