Country flags tier list templates

A country flags tier list maker with 199 national flags already sitting in the unranked pool. Drag them into S through F, rename the rows to design, history, or where you would live, then export a PNG of the ranking. No account to make or download.

Also known as: country flags tier list, national flag ranking, world flags tier list maker, flag ranking chart.

What people usually rank

A flag board is almost never about vexillology alone. Name the question in the title or the comments will invent three.

  • Design: color, geometry, and whether the flag reads at the size of a postage stamp.
  • History, which is a different list from how it looks today.
  • Where I would live, which is a preference map wearing flag pictures.
  • How well it works as a sports shirt, which is why some simple flags sit in S.
  • A closed region (Europe, the Caribbean, Africa) when 199 rows is more picture than you wanted.

What is already on the board (199)

These 199 pictures open in the unranked pool. Rank them, delete any you do not want, or add more. The list below is the same closed set the editor loads, so a search can match a name that lives on this page.

How to make a Country flags tier list

  1. Open the loaded board. The flags are already in the unranked pool, one picture per country, with the name on the tile. You do not upload a zip of SVGs and you do not type 199 names. Delete any you do not want before you start ranking.
  2. Name the question in the title. Design, history, and "where I would live" are three lists. A simple tricolor can be S on design and C on history. The rows cannot hold both without lying about one of them.
  3. Cut the set if 199 is too many. Keep a continent, a sports federation, or the countries you have actually visited. A finished short list is a better picture than an unfinished world.
  4. Export the picture. Download a PNG for the thread. Publishing gives people a link they can remix without touching your ranking.

What you can do

  • 199 flags already loaded, so the first minute is ranking rather than importing files.
  • Native-aspect pictures, not padded squares, so Switzerland stays square and Nepal stays a double pennon.
  • Names on the tiles, because two red-and-white flags are not distinguishable at 70 pixels.
  • Rows you can rename to the actual question, or keep S through F.
  • Works on a phone: press and hold, drag, the board scrolls at the edges.
  • PNG export, no account, nothing drawn across the flags except the site address in the corner.

Make your own tier list

Pure design

Color, geometry, and whether it still reads on a pin. History stays off the rows.

A continent

Delete the rest. Europe, Africa, or the Americas as a closed board people actually finish.

Visited countries

Keep the ones you have set foot in, drop the rest, and the list becomes a travel argument.

Sports shirts

Which flags make a kit you would wear. Simple geometry usually wins, which is the whole joke.

Common questions

How many flags are on the board?

199. UN members plus Vatican, Palestine, Taiwan, Kosovo, Cook Islands and Niue. Delete any you do not want. Add any we did not include.

Are the flag pictures official?

They are public-domain flag files (Wikimedia Commons and two archived CIA Factbook drawings). They are not issued by this site, and a ranking is not a political statement.

Why is Nepal a different shape?

Because that is the flag. The editor keeps each picture's own aspect ratio inside the tile instead of stretching it to a square.

Can I add more flags?

Yes. Upload a picture or type a name. The loaded set is a start, not a lock.

Do I need an account?

Not to make or export. Publishing a public page needs an account.
