Originally posted by Very RustyCountry flags are expected, being countries, but most countries have states , provinces, territories etc, adding all those for all over the world would be quite entertaining I'm sure.
I don't see why not? If you are going to give a Province within a Country their own Flag, then why not? There is an expression what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
I wrote this in february last year and I haven't changed my opinion about it:
This debate brings nothing good out of it.
"If they have a flag so I want one too!"
My suggestion is that one should formulate a rule first and then apply it.
One rule could be that every nation that is a member of UN. I.e. Let the UN rules decide.
Another could be if the nation is a member of FIDE.
Still another could be that everyone who wants a flag should design it and post it to Russ together with the nation name.
My country is Fabianland and has a yellow Smiley on dark blue background.
Now, I think, the flora of flags is way to large already.
