I believe it was more or less foisted upon the ex-warring factions of Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats by the UN High Representative or something, as a compromise (ie a design no-one could possibly like or feel represented them?).

Canada's is super classic, too. There was a confusing joke about it in "Working," that short-lived sitcom starring an adult Fred Savage. Fred's boss says he wants to move to Canada because of their flag. Fred replies, "That's a maple leaf, sir." The boss was dismayed. What did he think it was supposed to be? It's obv. not a pot leaf.

Idaho's flag is the only flag out of 50 designed by a woman. You bet they try to paint Idaho as some feminist paradise because of it. (It actually isn't, don't tell anyone!) Also, it is one fugly flag.
