Studying the flags of the world is no longer just a boring thing you're forced to do in Geography class (insert snarky comment about US Geography syllabus here)!  It's now a fun thing for anyone to do with this rated and critiqued list of the flags of the world.

South Africans my age had to spend a lot of time to draw an accurate Oranje-blanje-blou flag in our junior school indoctrination history classes - some countries have children who just need to remember three colours and one flag - but we had to remember those and three other flags in the middle of that flag.  These days, our flag is a lot easier to draw, looks better, and gets a higher mark according to the marking process.

But at least we weren't Turkmenistan (take a look).  But then, at least the US Virgin Islands children probably only have to (as mentioned there) paint their flag by number.

So, you have to write this business document for a company which managers are going to read.  Managers are well-known for their inability to read more than a half-page at a time without some sort of graph, chart, or other visual stimulus.  Sometimes, I just sneak in a page of Urdu to check if they actually notice.  (They don't.  They do notice Python code, though.)

Now, I have a solution in this periodic table of visualisation methods.  You see, I can just close my eyes and shove my finger at the screen randomly (or print it out, put it on a wall, and throw a dart), and determine what visualisation I should use on this page of the document.

I'm sure to get my promotion once they realise we speak the same language!
