Must be standing upright like the one on the moon and confirmed by multiple news sources

If two are planted at the same event both resolve 50 50

  • Update 2025-06-30 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The EU flag will be counted as a valid option in place of an individual country's flag. Marketing flags will not be counted.

"On December 31, 2021, the Tianwen-1 orbiter deployed a second deployable camera (TDC-2) into Mars orbit which captured photographs of the Tianwen-1 in orbit to celebrate its achievement of the year[21] and a selfie stick payload was deployed to its working position on orbiter to take images of the orbiter's components and Chinese flag on 30 January 2022 to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

@UserNLUyO i saw this but no it was not planted in the soil, it was on the rover itself afaik

This resolves to the first country's flag on Mars, irrespective of potential other flags posted on Mars earlier?

@Primer are there any currently ?I wasn't aware

@strutheo Don't think so. But some mission might put a flag on Mars which isn't a country's flag. Like a EU flag, a UN flag, a pride flag or a Coca Cola flag.

@Primer I'll count eu instead of an individual country but not marketing flags .. that might be a different fun market though

@strutheo Treating the EU flag like a country's flag is a very American view. It's clearly not a country.

@Primer but it is fairly likely that could be planted in place of several individual country flags so I'll keep the option I guess
