Forums: COUNTRY FIELD!

[MarkG]

Europe is not country either. Lots of other entries in that list are not official recognized countries either but just regions

perhaps you need a "this list may and may not contain actual countries" disclaimer?

Cyberhsy, if Markos does what aaglo says above your post, I'm satisfied. I'm really offended by Palestine being called a country. What flag do then people in Jerusalem choose? Israel says it's theirs, Palestine says it's theirs.

Be happy that the palestines have a flag,
go outside and burn it

What makes you think I don't?

[Skanky Burns]

I realised that Afghanistan was a real country! It was an example of a country that people from another country would not like.

I think Snapcase made a list of the many included flags that weren't from a country though in one of the closed threads. If Palestine went, so would each and every one of those.

I really don't see how you could be upset by its mere existance in the list though.
a) You only ever see it when you are changing flags, which shouldn't be that often.
b) No-one is using the flag currently, so you never see it on-site.

EDIT: Ok, you are offended by it being called a country. Fair enough.

Well Skanky, Afghanistan is a country some might like. I'm not going into details, but there are countries I don't like... I'm not complaining, though, because they ARE independent countries, independence of whose is protected by international treaties.

Edit: saw your edit, what you say.

[Skanky Burns]

Reposted so as my effort wasn't in vain.
After going through the entire list, here are the ones not working:

Country	Change Required
Antigua	No idea
Cote d'Ivoire	No idea
Dijbouti	Djibouti
Heard and McDonald Islands&nbsp&nbsp	Island is missing the 'd'
Wallis and Futuna	Change the and to &

And with that, I'm heading off to bed.

Markos - such a disclaimer will also make me happy. Just put it, and make me happy, eh

Cote d'Ivoire - is it independent, or does it count as French colony now?

Damn Markos, I even reached 4k posts by spamming this thread.

Really, though, I'm now looking at the flag list, Abu Dhabi is another example of not a country yet in the list.

SB, isn't that nepali flag the royal family's flag? Isn't the official flag different?
Cyber, why on earth do you have Ugandan flag on your avatar?

yes there IS Flag of Lappland anyway! hoorey!

when I first searched for it, I only looked for Lappland and not for Sami. thanks aaglo.
actually its Saame not Sami. (and Lapplad will do also.)

and if someone says that Lappland is not a real country, I'll send my Loistava Latu Guerilla Fighters after him!

It's one of the UAE right?
If we put the EU flag in together with all the country's we might as well do the same here

7 pages of this godawful thread I read before finding this link. As not everyone is going to use the correct flag anyway, it just seems to clutter it up.
And I agree there should be non-flags, soviet, anarchist, plain black flag. etc.

But for now, plain green will suffice

Cyber, why on earth do you have Ugandan flag on your avatar?

because friends of me live in Uganda, they are helping orphans with studying and living.
I've been there last summer for a few weeks to help a bit as well. I support Uganda, and wish them the very best.

I support them by putting their flag in my avator.

[Solver]

Yah... what a shame you don't all use correct flags .

Markos, added the disclaimer yet ?

[Method]

Hmmm, i didn't even know St Pierre and Miquelon had a flag. Still part of france, isn't it?
