    Not a real flag but I love the idea for whoever did this, Hrvatska flag with the same idea for the historic Croatian regions except the provinces of Ireland:

    For some reason I think the double headed eagle flags always look kind of evil

    Staying with countries I have visited Luxembourg's flag is almost the exact same as the Netherlands so they have another one which they use very often as well which I think is pretty neat looking:

    Popular down that way, suppose I'm used to seeing them everywhere I'm in the Balkans that much.

    Haiti and Liechtenstein both had the same flag but neither country knew this until 1936 olympics

    I think the double headed eagle flags are common in that part of the world as they originated with the old Byzantine/ Eastern Roman Empire.

    Switzerland and the Vatican City flags are not rectangular either mate, they are both square.

    A lot more normal when you consider Mozambique's flag has an AK-47 on it.

    Hardly the most under the radar flag, but not many flags beat the Jamaican one. Just something about that combination of colours.

    Wow each to his own but an AK-47 on your national flag thats crazy. Better not show any Americans that flag they might get ideas for their own given their sick love fest with guns.

    A square is a type of rectangle that has 4 equal sises, so they are rectangular.

    Can anyone guess this one? It's not as obvious as it might look:

    Close!

    Republika Srpska (Serb Republic)

    Bosnia is divided up into 2 administrative areas, federation of Bosnia Herzegovina & Republika Srpska.

    First has a Croat & Bosniak majority while the latter is Serb.

    Their capital in actually Banja Luka not Sarajevo, there's been a lot of * out of them lately about setting up their own separate army, trying to destabilize the region again in a bid to eventually join with Serbia.

    Milorad Dodik is an awful bollix.

    Yep, would've guessed Serbia due to the colours and pattern alone, though obviously I would've fallen short of guessing the Serb Republic!

    Not what you would class as your normal rectangle however, and for the purpose of this subject, are a different shape compared to 99% of flags.
