The EU isn't a country either, and I don't like that the EU flag is labeled "Europe" here.
Europe is more than the EU, or did I misunderstand something?

Norwegians and Swiss... even more Eurosceptical than Britain, amazing.

Only a matter of time before you are assimilated and become one with the rest of the European Union though.

16 Pages of b1tching and moaning about flags!
I'll bet Markos won't be introducing any more new features for a while

It wasn't all complaints.

There were compliments, testing of flags, a html page made that contained almost all the flags, exploitation of the country field, and demands that some of the current flags be removed. And statements about the non-working of some (well, exactly 5) of the flags.
I've figured out how to fix 4 of them, and have messaged Markos telling how to fix them.

I was using sarcasm. Someone implied Texas wasn't elegible because it was no longer a country. Then I sarcastically agreed that only countrys can have flags at Poly.

It annoyed me when people didn't read into sarcasm.

I have since conditioned myself to use the smilie to accentuate sarcasm (unless it is dry wit, in which case accentuation rather ruins the whole effect).

hi ,

okay


, say on the site of the UN there is a list of all the official nations on earth , .... with their flags , ....

some are not because they dont exist in an official way , ...

maybe Mark can use that list as a reference , ....

but what to do with a nation like "sealand" , ... they have their own passports , their own diplomatic relations , etc , but they are not (yet) in the
UN , .....

and what to do with the many governments that are in excile , .... like South Vietnam , .....

have a nice day

I prefer headbutting walls, it releases the frustrations talking to a wall creates.

Gee, I seem to be a bit late posting, but what the heck!

Great feature, Mark

BTW, Canada's flag has a 2:1 ratio. Yeah, we're different form most of the world!

And as to USSR flag, if you insist on not including it, do you think we might be able to have at least a communist flag? At least for those of us lacking in custom-avatarabilty ?

It's a tax evasion paradise (although I'm not sure that was the purpose... but it certainly IS as they are not paying British taxes)
