Flags of the world

A while ago while dining in one of Nanjing's fine-dining restaurants (Not!), we noticed that the establishment had flags of different countries on display, and noted that the Philippines wasnt represented. I then remarked that it is fortunate that flags were made when they were made and not today when we have computers and software to work out the designs. Back then all Marcela Agoncillo had was needle and thread and some colored fabric. If Don Felipe for instance came to her and said something like, "You know, we ought to add some pizzazz to that flag. Too drab." Dona Agoncillo would have told him to bugger off. If the flag were made today, Dona Agoncillo would have said, "Sure. Let me get on my Adobe Illustrator and we'll see what we can do."

Now here's what would have happened to other flags if they were designed today.
