    Neat. The most interesting might be Singapore / Colorado.

    Interesting, could have been even more so if it had a legend.

    ditto Sultik… I don’t know flags well enough to know what’s what… and it would be really great to have a legend!

    Great. Now can we do a Canadian one with the flags of Chad or Honduras larger than Texas.

    For a moment, I thought that Wisconsin was Norway, and it would have been weirdly coincidental (the majority of people in the north 2/3 of the state are at least part norwegian). But no. It’s finland. Boring finland.

    Oregon is overlayed with the Palestian Authority’s flag. The Palestinian Authority isn’t a country. Interesting that I don’t see Israel’s flag anywhere.

    @Kay Yeah, that what happens after decades of occupation, the country becomes “banks and strips”

    Oops! Yes, I did mean Denmark! Blue stripes, red stripes, all the same to me ;)

    Is south dakota Bahrain or Qatar? It looks like Bahrain to me, but I can’t differentiate reds very well :\

    Oh, I can even see Latvian flag. It’s nice that some one recognize this ‘full of problem’ country ;D
