The world's flags given letter grades

Nice concept - review national flags. Each flag gets a score out of 100, and a bunch of icons identify good and bad qualities, like "simple", "original", "good colours", and "weapons".

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines - Good effort for a country whose name sounds like a 50s rock'n'roll group.

Tuvalu [D+ 49/100] was previously on 50. However, I didn't realise the horrible truth about their flag. Those stars aren't in a random arrangement at all... they're in the shape of the islands that make up the country. It's a map! On the other hand much of Tuvalu will soon be underwater owing global warming, and they'll have to remove some of those stars.
