For inspiration to create some sort of united flag, I took flags from flagpedia and wrote a small script to merge them with an equal opacity on a white background. This was the result.
Found it mildly interesting as it looks like the flag of France. Curious as to whether this was a rendering mistake I shuffled the flag array several times to the same result.

That three vertical bar design is incredibly common. You can also see hints of Russia/Germany (the three horizontal bar design).
The Union Jack in the canton is also unsurprisingly visible, given the number of flags with incorporate that.

Just out of curiosity I brought it into photoshop and did an "auto tone" on it to bring up all the colors.

Love it. Probably would break all the r/vexillology rules of what a flag should be, but I'd fly that.
thank you! this is now my desktop. :)
