Even though I'm Dominican/American, I would have to vote for Mexico as having the most beautiful flag. I think it should win, not so much for its physical appearence, but for the story behind the emblem of an eagle holding a snake in its claws.
The Aztec legend said that they should establish their city on the spot where they saw an eagle on a cactus, eating a snake. While searching, they found this on a lake island and founded Tenochtitlan, or present day Mexico City. That's a pretty cool legend.
And at least there's no bible or cross like in the Dominican Flag.
