I'm a bit of a flag nerd. I like the Soviet flag (all versions) but it is far from the best one. A good flag should:
Be unique. (Check, no one is confused about this one)
Have a reasonablee color scheme (Check, the colors are great)
Have a reasonable design (Check, but you can fail this one real bad)
Contain no writing (Check, obviously)
Be possible for a child to draw without any training (Fail, drawing a hammer and sickle is actually pretty difficult even for an adult)
The best flag in the world is Vietnam and the worst one is Cape Verde, or possibly Bosnia and Herzegovina bacause of the inexplicalbe design decision to cut stars in half.
good flag bad flag is well established to be bullshit and should not be taken seriously in any way. numerous excellent flags break one or more of those rules
A good flag should be aesthetically pleasing to me, who cares if a child could draw it? A flag is going to be printed by a printer, sown (rarely if ever this century) or displayed on a screen, not whatever child labour system was previously relied on.

Your list: 1. Unique. 2. What does reasonable even mean, give me a vapourwave flag pls. But check anyway. 3. Great design. 4. The design is the words. 5. Nope.
My list: yeah it looks great, no need for a contrived list to justify saying something looks good because some nerd thinks it's easy for a child to draw 50 stars but not a hammer and sickle
I would say the Seychelles are close to the bottom, too. I haven't got the foggiest idea what colors or order to put them in. And if we're accepting national subdivisions, Maryland is pretty shit, too.

I learned to use a ruler properly while drawing the UK flag on a sheet of paper back when I was 8 years old and a lib.
I've also seen that Ted talk
I hate that check list, not gonna lie
