The flag of NAVA
In 2001, the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA) asked visitors of its website to give their opinion on 72 subnational and territorial flags of the United States and Canada. 100 NAVA members and over 300 non-members ranked the 72 flags on a scale of 0 to 10 (worst to best).
Included in the survey are the flags of the following entities:
- The 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia;
- The five inhabited U.S. insular areas;
- Micronesia and the Marshall Islands, two of three independent states that are in free association with the United States (the third, Palau, is not included);
- The 13 Canadian provinces and territories;
- The Canadian region of Labrador (the province of Newfoundland and Labrador was named "Newfoundland" until 2001, though Labrador was already a part of it).
Georgia, which ended in last place in the survey, adopted a new flag in 2003, as did Mississippi in 2020. Smaller changes were made to the flags of Louisiana (2006 and 2010), Utah (2011) and New York (2020).
