It's weird how five-pointed stars became the default. I get that it's geometrically simpler to draw well than a four-pointed star, six pointed stars have become a religious symbol, and and I guess 7 points is too complicated, but octograms are real neat and evoke better the look of a star.
The Australian Flag uses seven pointed stars. Six of the points represent the six original states while the seventh is a basically a spare.

It's one of the only distinctive elements on an otherwise generic flag.
