WORLD FLAG

Once we get passed the conflictuous notion of nations, we might need a flag to represent humanity as a whole.

The World Flag is the end result of a visual deconstruction of all national flags in the world. Flags have:

- shapes
- type of shapes
- areas
- area colours
- pictures
- picture form
- picture elements
- orientation
- aspect ratio height/width

Counting this for the flags of all 195 souvereign states and weighing each result according to population size, we end up with a new set of visual properties:

- shapes: 1
- type of shapes: rectangle
- areas: 3
- area colours: 2 (top 3 colours: 1.red 2.white 3.green)
- pictures: 1
- picture form: star
- picture elements: 4 ('north east south west')
- orientation: horizontal
- aspect ratio height/width: 0,64

From these properties, the World Flag follows logically. This is—aesthetically—the most acceptable flag for humanity.
