Indonesia is the flip of Poland. Indonesia looks the same as Monaco, except I think the Monaco flag might be a bit redder on top, and is not as wide as standard flags also

By far the the best of the "tricolour but emblem" genre. Elegant, beautiful, identifiable, despite lots of parts.

actionjackson posted:it actually is when you look at all of Europe's flags. It's much easier to differentiate colors than shapes imo It might be unconscious bias, but I will agree on that. I might not be perfectly familiar with every flag, but when they share a pattern (three stripes, either horizontal or vertical), it feels easier to have a factor to remember. "oh Ireland is the one with orange" or "Germany has black, but horizontal", rather than needing to have WHICH part of the flag is which colour (which even for Netherlands and Russia, you can have "Netherlands white in middle"

The Netherlands brand would see a lot of benefit of distancing itself from Russia. No one would confuse the two if this was their flag.

Also I'm sure there's some tagged on symbolism for each colour, like red for the blood of the people and green for Islam or hope or something.

Black is the rashidun and abbasid colour, white is the umayyad and fatimid colour, green is the islam colour, red is the colour of the hashemite dynasty. You don't gotta reach, it's recorded.

There's been a lot of NATO and EU flags in the news lately, but how about some other flags of multinational organizations of various kinds?  Some of these aren't really meant to physically exist and nobody really cares about them if they do, so there's a lot of variations in font and color in the pictures I find.  Pretty clever lookin' slinky 'round a globe to look like a C.     This one actually reminds me of some other symbolic imagery...  Alternately, since blob hand is reaching for a yellow orb on a blue background, Kazakhstan, the one country with a flag of a yellow orb on a blue background, should probably be nervous.

well hey let's not leave out the not-CIS then (sorta, idk, since Moldova and Azerbaijan are still in the CIS despite being in the "gently caress Russia" bloc):  technically they don't have a flag exactly, but if they did it'd presumably feature this basketball with four boobs

Good time to point out the POW/MIA movement is mostly a conspiracy theory anyway so this is appropriate when you think about it

My Russian co-worker told me about the sane part of Russians still wanting to feel proud of their country, but without appearing to support the regime. So they made a new flag for protests, by whiping the blood off the current flag: Pretty neat I think.

White-washing the red gives some anti-communism vibes. Why the red? Why not another of the three colours? Why to white? Gonna have to give this one to Zug.

The modern Russia Federation being a thing already is already an anti-communist vibe, and red on flags has a longer history of being associated with blood than it does with being associated with communism. White on flags has a history of being associated with peace. Also making that into a Russian protest flag goes very nicely with the Belarusian protest flag.

In case you haven't noticed, there's this whole war thing going on and the propaganda blitz uses the flag quite heavily. It's just doing a better job tainting the flag than rallying the people. War means blood, blood is red.

To be fair, I tried pushing the good old red flag, but somehow using the flag of the Soviet Union, which included Ukraine under effectively Russian control, didn't really appeal. The Russian SFSR didn't try hard enough either:
