Here we present the ten best flag designs from across the world.

10 ) Plenty of world flags contain dragons, but none quite as cool as the small Himalayan nation of Bhutan.

9 ) The flag of Toronto has a pleasing 1970-s style minimalism to it. Looks as if the Canadian flag has fallen down a gap in the giant T.

8 ) The only U.S. flag on the list, this is the famous Gadsden flag. America’s first Marines carried this into battle against the British in 1775.

7 ) Ah, the Holy Roman Empire. It might look as if they’ve placed a mirror down the middle of a normal German flag to produce a Rorschach inkblot test but instead this formed the basis for most German flags for centuries afterwards.

6 ) Kyrgyzstan’s Golden Volleyball flag. Are they any good at the sport? Hard to tell but they’ve blazoned a 24-carat volleyball on their national flag.

5 ) The North Caucasian Emirate only lasted for three years (1918-1921) but its the only flag in the world with a child’s smiley face drawn from Islamic symbols. Very Cheery!

4 ) The Canadian province of Nunavut has a simple, friendly design. Is it a sword? A pile of rocks? An altar? Its hard to tell, but its a cool flag.

3 ) Everyone remembers Sicily’s number one export from “The Godfather” but I bet you can’t find a single person who knows that this is Sicily’s flag or (even more difficult) what it means. A head with three rotating legs? Still, its funny

2 ) The flag of Argentina is probably the most cheery flag in the world. It has a relaxing color scheme and a smiling sun. Makes me feel better already!

1 ) The best flag in the world comes from the Russian province of Yaroslavl Oblast. Its a bear with an axe. What more do you want?
