What this is
A month or so ago, I asked you on the JetPunk Message Board to rank all the 196 flags of the world. 12 of you joined in! Thanks to everyone who was part of this and now, after some work, I can finally present to results to you.
The system
For every flag, you could give points from 1 to 10. As an additional feature, everyone was able to give 12 points to their absolute favourite. The lowest any flag could get is 12.The highest is 144. Let's see the results now!
The results
Starting of with the worst flag, which is:
196. Afghanistan 41 Points
Understandable. JetPunk uses the new Taliban flag which just contains black arabic letters on a white background.
Next up is:
A boring flag, I agree, but Indonesia and Poland are higher on this list which is ... strange.
