1. Flag of Bhutan
The Bhutanese call their country Druk, or Land of the Thunder Dragon, believing thunder to be the voices of roaring dragons.
2. Flag of Albania
The double-headed eagle is often associated with the Holy Roman and Byzantine Empires, but also appears in many works of fiction, including the film Sinbad's Seventh Voyage.
3. Flag of Wales
Though the origin of the symbol has been lost, popular belief is that the Red Dragon was the battle standard of King Arthur.
4. Xliponian Royal Flag
Xliponia is an imaginary nation in Southern Europe. That's right... imaginary. But I don't care; this is, afterall, a list for fantasy geeks, and The Griffin Flag is pretty stylish.
5. Imperial Dragon Flag of China
This flag is no longer in use, dating back to the late 1800s, used at that time as the State Flag and naval ensign. The Chinese regarded the dragon as a cloud gatherer who brought much needed rain to the land.
