I'm patiently waiting for Europe's turn so that I can vote for Moldova.
Really enjoyable and informative thread. I'm still kind of in awe of that Melilla flag.

Group C is now open at the front of the thread. We're voting for 4 here.
Some details (that may have country name spoilers in the links):
This is the coat of arms on Flag 2
And Flag 3
And Flag 4

I think the others are big enough where you're not missing much

"Sub umbra floreo" means "Under the shade, I flourish," which sounds like something that a guy napping under a tree would say as an excuse. Strange...

That's Old Latin. Umbra later came to mean "Dockers for karate "

Gonna stop now while we have 4 winners. I had the exact opposite choices on the first 3 matchups, and this is clearly the worst day for Saints so far this year.
Bottom half of the bracket is up.

Also the US flag is objectively better than like 3/4ths of the flags that made it to the later rounds. Hope you're happy, you bunch of commies.
