When the Canadian Maple Lear was first proposed, it was derided by a fair slice of the population as a K-Mart flag. K-Mart was a large department store chain with a reputation for flying colourful but meaningless flags with geometric designs. Changing from the red ensign to the Maple Leaf in 1965 was seen as a slap in the face to the veterans of the Second World War, even though the red ensign design had already been changed in 1957. Also, it took a couple of years to finalize the red shade of the Maple Leaf. The first iterations ranged from rust orange to almost pink.

This is according to sources in English of course such as the Merriam-Webster dictionary or and article in the Washington Post (and so on), and it is probably the result of people being more exposed to the spelling with "U", and therefore assuming that the name of the country is spelled likewise.

It's not overly complicated. Canadian reputation around the world may also have played apart of the voting as Canadians are often seen as some of the nicest people in the world. Even though there are flags that are arguably better in appearance the overall status of the Canadian flag is hard to beat.

Also Canadian and I was expecting a top 10 and possibly top 3 finish, not out of patriotism but because I've read articles written by marketing experts who praise the Maple Leaf's design as highly distinctive, eye-pleasing and memorable. It's super easy to spot in a picture with dozens of over a hundred flags where most of the rest blur into each other, sharing too many elements in common. Even the US flag has several others that resemble it (intentionally in most cases) and stripes are a very common motif. The 1:2:1 ratio of vertical colouration on the Maple Leaf is peculiar enough that the central square is known as a Canadian pale in vexilollogy (the study of flags). Pearson never really planned it as such but he left us a brilliant bit of national branding. I had expected Nepal's incredibly unique flag to grab the top spot though. Not surprised that South Africa made the top 10 along with us since their current flag was also a flashy departure from a prior more traditional design.

_-A good flag should be simple:_ overly detailed flags such as those with crests can't be recognized at a glance. _-At the same time, they must be iconic and unique:_ so flags like France's are just uncreative. _-Thirdly, they cannot be arbitrary:_ every aspect of the flag should be a concious design choice. You can't just pick random colours. _-Lastly, it should be harmonious:_ as in it should be generally pleasing to the eye.

The only time I can really say that it was *iconic* as such is World War II, unless I'm missing its modern implications. Either that or it got rated so highly in part because Japan has become somewhat of an 'obsession' country in recent times, and people just want to rate it highly because they're obsessed with Japan aha. That would help explain why Japanese people themselves happen to be the only ones in the world to underrate their own flag!

Very surprised Argentina and Uruguay flags were ranked so low, I love that sun and light blue stripe. Canada is great, as are the flags of my ancestors, Scotland and Norway (all those Nordic flags with the crosses are nice, particularly the Faroe Islands). Really like the blue and gold/yellow of Sweden, EU, and Ukraine as those are my school and state colors (UCLA and California). Also think the Mexican eagle looks fantastic but I'm not a fan of red with green. Don't understand why the French tri-color is rated so low as it's iconic and attractive, as is the Union Jack; love 'em both.

I am from Peru and it's pretty funny to know that Canada ranked 1st worlwide and Peru ranked last in South America when both flags look almost the same 🥴 🇨🇦🇵🇪. I guess that maple flag made a huge difference between one and another flag.

The great thing about the Canadian flag is that it's not trying to impress with religious symbols, flags inside flags, or royal crests, etc. We just got a huge number of maple trees, so there you go, although the beaver and moose got some consideration. BTW: our version of Fort Knox consists of a huge, heavily guarded repository of maple syrup. It's true!

You've inaccurately captured the elements of the Union Jack. Firstly, there is no Northern Irish flag. Northern Ireland was never a distinct entity before the partition of Ireland in the early 1900s, and accordingly it doesn't have a unique flag (still to this day their only official flag is the entire Union Jack). Also, the Union Jack dates back to the early 1800s, a century earlier than Northern Ireland was partitioned into existence. Secondly, the Union Jack consists of the flags of the patron saints of the Kingdom of England (which included Wales), the Kingdom of Scotland, and the Kingdom of Ireland, respectively, as they existed at the time of the flag's creation. The Kingdom of England is represented by the red Cross of St. George which we all know and associate with England. The Kingdom of Scotland is represented by the saltire of St. Andrew, which is of course the blue x that we all know and associate with Scotland. However, Ireland is represented by the saltire of St. Patrick, which was neither a flag used to represent Ireland historically nor a flag used historically in relation to St. Patrick. It has been linked with the coat of arms of a family dynasty (Fitzgerald) who had great control in the Irish province (historically Kingdom) of Leinster. It became associated with Ireland in the late 1700s when it was assigned to the Order of St. Patrick, a British order of chivalry established by Anglo-Irish Protestants in Ireland (this was also the first time it was associated with St. Patrick). The Kingdom of Ireland's flag at the time was a gold harp on a blue field, the harp being of historical significance and a well known symbol of Ireland. The Union Jack's continued use of the saltire of St. Patrick is a bit of an affront to Ireland, although it doesn't really offend or cause much notice. It is a symbol the British chose to associate with Ireland and it's patron saint, only possible due to their colonisation of the island which carries some very bitter history. While still relevant due to Northern Ireland remaining in the UK, as well as Scotland failing to achieve independence through referendum, one has to wonder what would become of the Union Jack should either of those two things cease to be a reality.
