The order of the differences is just not something we've gone back and enforced in the deck yet, but it should definitely be C > M > m > n.

I agree with your assessment that it should be wider/narrower in this case. 馃憤

Shoudn't we add that Poland flag is slighly wider than Monaco flag? It has almost the same proportion than Indonesia and we say that for Indonesia flag.

Also, what should I mention first in Monaco vs. Indonesia: brighter red or slightly wider?

Totally! Seems I missed it in my audit.

Note that Poland's similarity info is currently Indonesia and Monaco (white and red flipped), so it will have to be separated (especially considering #203).

I think for both pairs (Indonesia/Monaco and Indonesia/Poland), the colour difference is the least significant difference, so I'd put it last.

Great, thank you!

Maybe I'll have the PR ready tomorrow.

Isn't it the other way around? I find the most significant difference at the end in all other descriptions. Examples:

C么te d'Ivoire (narrower, green and orange flipped)
Austria (brighter red, wider white band)


Also, when do you use "slightly wider" and when only "wider"? Taking a look at the flag similarity guidelines, I understand that we use slightly when it's a negligible difference, but I think in these cases (Indonesia/Monaco and Poland/Monaco) the difference is a "minor difference" and we should just use "wider"/"narrower".

Another issue I found (last one, haha). In English, Ivory Coast is written as Ivory Coast in the name of the country and with a country info "Officially C么te d'Ivoire.", but when talking about flag similarities in English, it's written C么te d'Ivoire. It only happens in English, in every other language the name in that language is used. Do I fix it?

For sure, well spotted! 馃憖
