Dnipro was one of the largest industrial centers in USSR. Now, the second tour of local elections is going in Dnipro. Dnipropetrovsk oblast is the territory, where Zaporizhian Cossacks were living from 15 to 18 century. (This is the reason why a Cossack is represented on the flag)

Amazing selection.

My personal favorite flags are the ones of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese prefectures, Bhutan, the one with the bear splitting the atom, South Africa, Seychelles, Oman, and possibly my favorite flag of all time is the Libyan flag. I absolutely love the color scheme and how simple it is. I'm glad most of them were covered in this video. Great job, as always.

Congrats! Great video.

Gotta say, That Oriflamme is pretty damn awesome looking

I would also mention two Swiss flags as very beautifull and well designed. Grisons/Graubünden and Valais/Wallis.

Newly created Norwegian county of Viken was close to having a dragon on it's emblem too (dragon heads being an old symbol of the region), but unfortunatly went with some abstract boat shapes instead.

Here’s an idea for a flag contest: Design a new flag for any country you choose, but any symbolism (elements, colours etc.) used must be exclusively from things that have arisen during the last century. For instance, for my own country of Sweden one could design a flag around the IKEA assembly tool and/or something related to Minecraft.

Talking about Sicily: the coolest flag was that one from the EVIS, the Voluntary Army for the Independence of Sicily

I'm Irish and Leinster is pronounced Lenster. No hate, I love your channel and I've been subbed for over a year

nepal is one of my favorite flags, it was designed such that you only need a rope and a stick so they could make em while underway , which is cool, its also very mathmatical which i like

if you like dragon on flag, there is also the welsh one

you mentioned Corsican flag and not Sardinian one which is much more known but still similar, with a white field with a red cross and four moors' heads. There is also the historical Sardinian flag (from the Giudicato of Arborea) which is a tricolor black, white and red with an uprooted tree on the center of it. Just take a look at them, I think they're very interesting
