    Rules for Round 1 are;

    All draws are made by a random number generator.
    First to get 5 votes progresses.
    30 minute time limit per match.
    In the case of a draw or undecided match, I'll cast a vote.

    If Poland drank too much zubrowka, fell and landed on it's head, it would speak french.

    Voting for Oman because I've never seen that flag before.

    Rwanda.
    I've never seen it before gives a sense of safety and tropical relaxation. Nothing bad would happen there !

    Rwanda, that’s a nice looking flag.

    It would be remiss of me not to ask that moderators, and the OP, not to try and “engage” with their, usual, brand of lame banter.

    That’s been the lowest point of all of these threads. And, if it’s going to be “heavily” moderated it should just be moved to that, dreadful, “Games Forum” place.

    Rwanda comes back and takes the lead. Their old flag was terrible, look it up! Next up we will see at least one Asian powerhouse fall.

    Rwanda, much better than their old flag.

    Japan, nice and simple. No mistaking it for anyone else's.

    Japan - an iconic flag. Simplistic but not vertical/horizontal line simple.


    The Union Jack is an immediate disqualifier for what could otherwise be a nice flag and possible winner of this matchup.

    Japan rises to the occasion and hits Round 2. A trio of less familiar nations now. Which flag is best?

    I'm can see Mozambique (with the AK47s) going far in this btw.

    Bhutan, eSwatini and Kiribati semi-final contenders too.

    (I like our flag - it'll be dumped out early in usual self-loathing, but no blue or red does make it slightly unusual in the pantheon of flags. In a group of just 9 in fact)

    Malta. Celtic cross clinches it. Alliteration and so forth.

    It's the George Cross. The island was awarded it by the UK during WW2 for their bravery in holding off the Germans and Italians.

    None are particularly interesting, so I'll vote for Norway because any Norwegians I've ever met have been sound.
