If I ever become (choose adjective: rich, famous, lucky, killer-skilled) enough to have my own (choose: country, island, street), my flag will look something like this one from the Benin Empire, a pre-colonial African state situated in modern Nigeria that lasted from 1440 until 1897.
Maybe by then they'll have animated fabric (Harry Potter style) and there will be slicing-head action!
