So the average flag looks something like this then.

If red represents blood, then it looks correct.

Quite the opposite. It’s also anti-Japanese. Wait til Sailor Moon finds out!

There’s an interestingly Union Jack-looking piece up on the side there.

Tut tut; Or and Argent are not properly called colours in Heraldry, but metals!
A vexillologist they may be, an armorist they are not!

I wonder what it would look like scaled for each country’s population and/or size.

It’s not the size of the flag that matters. It’s the way the flag is waved.

It looks like a bad, cheap silk screen “trendy” t-shirt from a generic chain of department store.
