From this entry, not from the index: Lithuania's flag uses the identical yellow-green-red horizontal sequence; Myanmar's version adds the centered white star that Lithuania's plain tricolor lacks.

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.
