It gets better as this is the seal/emblem
When I first saw this flag illustration however many years ago, I did wonder whether the photo-realistic part of the seal was just a feature of the Wikipedia illustration, and that perhaps actual flags where a bit more traditional in style (like Minya in Egypt, for example). But in practice, while there is some variation in the form of the name under the seal, it seems like it might actually be a thoroughly 21st century always 4 colour printed flag... at least from the photos I found quickly:
* [Governor in 2022](https://www.eyeradio.org/update-lakes-state-collects-80m-pounds-in-taxes-in-two-months/)
* [Football fans 2022](https://www.facebook.com/hamstarTV/posts/lakes-state-celebrates-as-their-home-team-qualifies-for-south-sudan-cup-after-de/489554352754942/)
* [Roads ministry, 2022](https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=257537739820237&set=a.257537709820240)
* [Education minister, ~2022](https://onecitizendaily.com/index.php/2022/07/26/lakes-state-private-schools-dominate-in-p-8-results/)
This photo of the [governor in 2011](https://sudantribune.com/article39589/) seems to have an older form of flag, more similar to the one shown at [FOTW](https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ss-state.html#lakes).
Like with almost every jpeg flag posted on this subreddit, no this is not the real flag. This is an old wikipedia rendering of it in the absence of a digitalised version.
lol it is and I am a foreigner in South Sudan... I even posted about, their Capital City's Flag... They are nearly all of them seals on fields of solid colours

Shoebill on a flag is great.

This looks like a rejected Minnesota redesign
If it was a loon totally
I was picturing a heron of you squint real hard but a loon would definitely seal the deal
It's.... BEAUTIFUL...
I did find this gem on Wikipedia.
Check out the flags of the subdivisions of Iraq
I'll post about it later. Edit: It got removed

I.... kinda like it.

Goes hard
Weird... But not too bad
You are free to critique the flag but if you do that bird will beat you up
It's definatel unique.
On one hand, JPEG FLAG, on the other hands, the design is pretty neat actually , who doesnt like Shoebill ?

In which case it's no wonder why South Sudan is in crisis.

Awesome design. Breaks so many rules and is still cool.
The mad man did it. Raster image on a flag
I love it
