Ed Ranks the Flags of ASEAN States

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is a regional intergovernmental organization comprising ten Southeast Asian countries that promotes intergovernmental cooperation and facilitates economic, political, security, military, educational, and socio-cultural integration. Or that's what Wikipedia says, at least.

Here are their flags, ranked.

10. Indonesia
Monaco called, and they want their boring flag back.

9. Thailand
Thailand is such a cool country. You think they'd have a cooler flag than just some dark red and blue stripes with white.

8. Laos
Marginally better than Thailand. It feels like the circle in the middle should have something in it. Like some sort of national seal. It's like they were going to put something there... but then forgot. 

7. Singapore
The addition of a crescent moon and stars to Indonesia's flag makes it more interesting, see?


6. Vietnam
Don't get me wrong, simplicity has its virtues. This is a simple, okay flag. But when I see it, all I can think is, "Commies!"

5. Myanmar
Don't lie. If you saw this flag and had to guess where it was from, you absolutely would have guessed an African country.

4. Philippines
I'm kind of digging this flag. The sun and stars really help it out.

3. Brunei
This flag is pretty awesome too. Some pretty unique colors that stand out, and that national symbol is the arms and stuff is pretty badass.

2. Cambodia
Angkor Wat? That's pretty damn sweet. Some of these other flags, even if they look good, could be the flags of ANY country. This flag screams, "Hey! This is Cambodia and nobody else has a flag like us."

1. Malaysia
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I wonder where they got the idea for this flag from.
