From this entry, not from the index: Its striped-field-plus-canton-star structure echoes Liberia's and, more distantly, the United States' flag, despite an entirely different color palette.

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.
