15 of the World's Strangest Flags
1Fryslan (Netherlands)
Someone from Fryslan in the Netherlands must love Frogger. Or
Chinese fortune cookies. Either way, they made this flag odd and
ugly enough to be our first on the list.

2Guam
Guam's flag is just horrible, it looks as if they've just bought a T-
shirt from the nearest souvenir shop and put it on a flag pole.
Even if this was the case, we have a hard time believing that they
couldn't find a better T-shirt.
3Benin

This was the flag of the Benin Empire that was situated in modern
Nigeria. A pre-colonial African state, it lasted from 1440 to 1897.
4Swaziland

Swaziland's flag. The colors go well together and the design is
interesting; unfortunately, this is not a kitchen towel. While we're
sure the shield and spears are traditional and part of Swaziland'sculture, having weapons in your flag just sends the wrong
message, not to mention the poor school children in Swaziland.
Trying to make an accurate drawing of this flag for Independence
Day must be a nightmare.
5Isle of Man

The flag of the Isle of Man shows a triskelion, the Three Legs of
Man emblem, in the centre of a red flag. The three legs are joined
at the thigh and bent at the knee. In order to have the toes
pointing clockwise on both sides of the flag, a two-sided emblem
is used.
6Antwerp (Belgium)

One of the worst flags in the world comes from the Antwerp in
Belgium. It's a chess set on acid. The flag is made of 24 square
pieces, in 4 rows and 6 columns. The pieces in the upper right and
lower left corners of the flag are white, the neighboring pieces are
blue, yellow, red and white, respectively.
7Mozambique

The hoe and the book in Mozambique's flag convey the best
characteristics a nation wants in its people. But, an AK-47?
8Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan... Is that a tennis ball on this flag?

Bhutan's flag wins the award for the most bad-ass ever.

11U.S. Virgin Islands
Another unspeakably horrible flag from a U.S. territory, the U.S.
Virgin Islands. They actually have to use it.

12Central African Republic
The Central African Republic's flag has managed to make anincredibly busy flag with just five straight lines, and one lonely
star. While this flag looks horrible enough as it is, if it is seen waving in the wind, it actually induces seizures.

13Lombardy (Italy)
Lombardy in Italy must have invented the game of Jacks, mustn't
it? Not much else can explain this flag that is simple to point of
boredom, but still includes a slightly nauseous shade of green.
14Nepal

Nepal is the only country in the world that doesn't have a
rectangular flag; Nepalese flag is shaped like two overlapping
triangles.
NOTE: Switzerland's flag isn't rectangular either, it's squared

Libya's flag, adopted on an uninspired night of 1977, consists of a
simple green field with no other characteristics. It is the only
national flag in the world with just one color and no design,
insignia, or other details.
