International flag rankings (incomplete)

edit

These are my personal ratings of these flags, based off of Transparent Blue's list. Rather than using percentages, this list uses "good", "bad", and "neutral". Some of Transparent Blue's rankings are still on the list as it is not yet finished. They can be delineated from mine as they use percentages.

Afghanistan Neutral I like the colors, but that emblem is way too complicated.

Benin 27%
Bhutan 79%
Bolivia 59%

Iceland 77%
India 96%

Nigeria Good Nice colors, good design, but bad proportions.
Norway 75%

United Kingdom Good Very unique design, good symbolism, representing the constituent states.
United States of America Good Good design, but the huge amount of stars is insane. What happens if there are 100 states in the union? They should've just stuck with the 13-star "Betsy Ross" flag from the 19th century and kept that as the permanent flag.
