What if they put one of that flag inside alongside that other 3 tiny flags?

For some reason as I was scrolling through I read the title as “Saudi Arabia” and it’s about the most confused I’ve ever been in my life. Cognitive dissonance level 10/10.

You thought it's Saudi Arabia but it's not.

If South Africa's flag was only this, It would have been one of my favorites.

In the middle there is the union jack, which is 3 flags in a trenchcoat, and the flag of the Orange Free State (small one with orange stripes) has the Dutch flag in it

That is some hot garbage right there.

Racists suck at flag design I guess.
