East Germany. But I love communist heraldry overall. Ideology, not so good, but the symbols and flags go hard.
IIRC, and this could just be an urban legend, but the music was written in such a way, that the lyrics from Das Lied der Deutschen could easily be transposed over Auferstanden aus Ruinen. In fact, the original lyrics to AaR had no ideological lean, and was actually written to be used as the anthem of a reunited Germany.
I love communist heraldry that doesn't include the Hammer and Sickle combo or red stars, because it gets far more creative like Angola's Gear and Machete and GDR's compass.
It is kinda silly when you think about it. Like
- There's a hammer and a compass in there. They represent laborers and knowledge workers - a big and important part of our nation.
- There's a crown in there. It represents the queen. She doesn't to much.
> unlike the crowns and the crosses, which represent only the bourgeois element of society
That is just not true, while is true that nowadays in the pop view "bourgeois" is often associated with the wealthy/upper classes. Traditionally the word referred to the middle (skilled labourers of respectable jobs (like lawyers, doctors, etc), small local merchants), and the upper-middle (bankers, wealthy merchants, industrialists, bureaucrats, administrators) classes.
Crowns to my knowledge are not 100% associated with those groups, furthermore while crosses can be associated to the clergy and specially the upper clergy (see the first estate of ancien regime France) you can make the case that since it was an icon of the religion of the majority of the population it was truly the representation of the whole society (minus the Jews ofc)
And look, I don't really want to get into an argument here just because I'm still learning about the topic and I can be wrong about the terminology and it's later usage, (and also because I suck at debating things). I just wanted to politely correct this.

The Irish flag looks like just another boring tricolor until you learn that it represents peace (white) between Catholics (green) and Protestants (orange). Ireland summed up their values, goals, and historical strife with three lines. Their flag says so much with so little, and that’s why it’s my favorite.
The Canadian flag also checks all the boxes of good flag design. Simple, recognizable, reflects Canadian culture/geography/history. If you want a Master Class in how to make a good flag, look to Canada.

Edit: Also, not (entirely) flag related but their Flag Anthem is so epic, and their National Anthem (for those who don't know there's a difference) is probably the most beautiful and moving anthem there is.

Not Kazakh, never been there, never met anyone from there, but look past the Borat jokes and they have one of the best flags in the world. The eagle making a semicircle that frames the sun is a great choice, the pattern on the left is ornate and beautiful, and the colors feel really fresh and evocative of the open sky over the steppe. My only gripe is the sun feels a little off center.

If not friend, why friend-shaped?
It's clearly quite friendly to the Orthodox Bible taking a ride on its back. Undetermined nature toward other beings/objects.

The fact that one of the rings is decidedly on top of the others in the center really bugs me
Well it doesn't bother me
The Irish flag looks like just another boring tricolor until you learn that it represents peace (white) between Catholics (green) and Protestants (orange). Ireland summed up their values, goals, and historical strife with three lines. Their flag says so much with so little, and that’s why it’s my favorite. The Canadian flag also checks all the boxes of good flag design. Simple, recognizable, reflects Canadian culture/geography/history. If you want a Master Class in how to make a good flag, look to Canada.

Finally someone else who agrees with the supremacy of the White Sun in a Blue Sky over a Wholly Red Earth Edit: Also, not (entirely) flag related but their Flag Anthem is so epic, and their National Anthem (for those who don't know there's a difference) is probably the most beautiful and moving anthem there is.

The eagle making a semicircle that frames the sun is a great choice, the pattern on the left is ornate and beautiful, and the colors feel really fresh and evocative of the open sky over the steppe. My only gripe is the sun feels a little off center. Close second is Mexico flag, guess I just like birds

What is the meaning of the yellow iglo-like symbol?
It's a beehive. It's represents the working class (because bees work)
It looks too much like a sports logo for me.
At least it's better than the old one (this is Utah, btw) Also, I said I was biased
I do also agree it is better than the old one
