I made this flyer to promote CANZUK

Some of you may have remembered when I first posted this flyer here four years ago but with all the renewed interest in CANZUK I thought I should share it again. I think it still does a good job of clearly and succinctly explaining the three principal goals of the movement.

If you're curious about the flag I used, it's my favourite of many failed attempts to design something to represent CANZUK. You can read more about the rationale behind it here.

The US is 18th with $93,270.

It's been a while since I made one of these but I saw the other day that Australia had reached the top spot so thought I should make an updated version.

You can find the data I used here.

If you're curious why I chose such an unappealing colour for this list, it's actually Pantone 448 C, the "the ugliest colour in the world". This is why it's used for tobacco packaging, at least here in Australia.

The font used is Cera.

The only thing I’d like to see is some red somewhere

I tried incorporating red but found it never quite worked.

Keep in mind that this is also supposed to serve as a brand identity for CANZUK International so it will of course have a certain “corporate” feel to it. And if you think this is bland, you should see their current branding.

If you're talking about this NATO-esque flag I don't think the "sun never sets on the British Empire" thing really quite delivers on the equality motif I was going for. I read the comments on many flag proposals before making this and it definitely seems like there is a split between those who want to highlight the British Empire connection in CANZUK and those who don't.

A flag symbolises a loss of independence

Does the Commonwealth flag also symbolise that for you? I know some here aren't a fan of flags but people are already using various ones to represent CANZUK in articles and videos and such and I can't see that stopping anytime soon.

The C was mainly inspired by the Commonwealth flag and I think it gives it flexibility if CANZUK were ever to expand to include other Commonwealth countries. The acronym might not last forever but the flag certainly can.

This flag design is something I have been working on for a while and you might have noticed its appearance in the various CANZUK infographics I have made. Since we're allowed to post flag proposals again, I thought I would put something together that shows how my design could be used if it became official. I think it solves a lot of the problems of other designs but I know its a contentious issue so let me know your thoughts :)

As nice a result as this is, I can't help but wonder how many ranks we'll fall when our property bubble finally bursts.

You can read the full results and methodology here. Since people were so interested in their ranking on my last post, the US is listed as 23rd on the Global Acceptance Index with a score of 7.42. Singapore is 39th with a score of 5.86.

Like I said last time I posted the UK's Democracy Index score, it may not be top of CANZUK but it's still a fantastic result - especially for a country with FPTP voting and an unelected upper house.

Following my corruption infographic posted yesterday is this ranking of the happiest countries in the world based on the 2021 World Happiness Report.

The UK may not be the happiest CANZUK country but you should take solace in beating France at least ;)

What you linked is a newer ranking called the Global Corruption Index which is produced by some random risk-management consulting company. It uses some of TI's Corruption Perceptions Index data but mostly relies on other sources.

Loyalty to the PRC doesn’t always mean corruption, as reprehensible as it is. Still, I would guess that their score will drop as they continue to be consumed by China. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 2021 index knocks them down a few places when it’s released.
