From this entry, not from the index: Nearly indistinguishable from Monaco's flag (which is slightly narrower) and the exact reverse of Poland's white-over-red design.

Computed at build time: each flag is rasterised to 64x48, and the score is 0.55 × colour overlap + 0.45 × structure. A different weighting would rank these differently. How the index works.
