This my also stimulate players to put there country's national flag on.
Since many people have put up flags from countries they do not live in, I don't think this would have much value.
And please note, I have not included all countries here, just the more common ones, and more likely, the ones whos flags I recognised. No offence intended if I omitted someone, Will do this in more detail at a later stage. Or, if you like, send me the top 5 players from your country and their ratings and i'll update it!

My point is that your stats are flawed. For example, Bbarr (the no.2 rated player on the site) uses the Polish flag, but he is from the U.S. and has probably never been to Poland. Are you going to count him into the Polish stats?
I am living in the UK and have been here for 3 years, but I carry the South African flag, because I consider myself South African
So the sats should be based on the nationalities we consider ourselvets to be.
Yes, I know one can put any country and so it is true that the stats will never be 100%, but if we all take pride in our countries and are honest, then we will actually get some useful stats.

Yes, to elaborate, NZ is technically in 3rd place with a point average of 1903 for our top 5 rated players. But because one player chooses not to 'show the flag' so to speak, and it is not a criticism, we are denied.
Never mind, a least we are ahead of the Aussies. In fact everyone is in front of the Aussies except India which is really just another English colony. 😉
That's why somebody should put there flag up, so that his rating is being counted at the average top 5. There is nothing wrong being proud at your flag.
Especially the Dutch flag, sinds nobody can beat them 😛
