Ranking of the Rarest Flags! Participate now!
Hi folks
This thread was born out of an idea from this page (). I'm starting a new thread so that this communication does not get buried in that thread.
We as a community, are going to rank what we consider are the top-10 rarest flags (most difficult flags to acquire). We will do this as follows:
Everyone submits their top-10 ranked difficult flags. The points given to the flags will be as follows: (for a rationale as to why this method is preferable, see my post in the other thread)
10 points for #1
9 points for #2
8 points for #3
7 points for #4
6 points for #5
5 points for #6
4 points for #7
3 points for #8
2 points for #9
1 points for #10
So we'll leave the voting until the end of the month. Deadline to be included is midnight January 31 (as per the board time). Please rank 10 countries in order, #1 being hardest and #10 the least hard out of your list. Then I'll go through and tally things up. The flag with the most points finishes first.
To rank, make your list look something like this:
** My Official Ranking **
#1 Flag A
#2 Flag B
#3 Flag C
..
..
#9 Flag I
#10 Flag J
Only flags recognized by Flag Counter are eligible to be included in the rankings.
Any questions? Start ranking!

Most of them are countries witch even Flagcounter doesn't have.
I think we should restrict the flags to those that exist?
Unless a reasonable argument is put forth otherwise,
--> Please list only flags recognized by Flag Counter.

Ehh, Lars, those countries are only listed on the country list. None of them (except of BIOT, Tokelau and UM) is possible.
251/251 countries and 3,860/3,860 flags collected.

1 - Bouvet Island (0) [0]
2 - Heard Island and McDonald Islands (0) [0]
3 - French Southern and Antarctic Lands (20) [0]
4 - South Georgia and Sandwich Islands (30) [0]

Hi
If you want your submission to be part of the overall ranking scheme, please list 1-10 with no ties. As well, please be certain that all these countries have FC flags.
