The best national flags: Greece, Israel, Great Britain. The best U.S. state flag: South Carolina; the worst (it's hard to say, there are so many to choose from): Georgia and California; it's a tie.

A great flag is an effective, easily recognizable symbol, often, though not necessarily, of simple design. I hate the ones that are junked up. For some reason, many people feel compelled to junk up a state flag with the state seal or something equally junky.

True, but you can still pick a dumb reconginzable symbol.
