This must be a flag but honestly the only thing that makes this entry a country is your title. If there are outside sources useed, you must link them or say otherwise on your description or SBS...

It's an interesting idea, but the central circle is too distoerted...try playing around with this and I think you'll have a better result. Good luck! http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/dispmap/dispmap.htm

It you used a displacement map, you could give your flag more depth. There's lot of tutorials for it online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6G5g3YpSII hope that helps

But where is land? :O

Why didn't you use that suggested technique? It would have greatly improved your entry using a displacement map. You must have run out of time....
