Cool idea. I noticed the list has Great Britain instead of United Kingdom, for those who can't find it. Strange it has Wales but not Scotland or England :scratch::

I just noticed that on the forum homepage you can scroll to the bottom and see how many users have each flag. Then if you click a flag it shows you everyone from that country. I like it!

Looks like some people are telling porkies though :lol:

There is, but there is a core of a few hundred that use the site daily and several thousand that use it less frequently :th:

You can use the Menorca flag I have, it's close enough, just no Estrella ;)

Are you Catalonian then?

I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but the intent of the flags is to help identify where our members are in the world. I understand wanting some anonymity and privacy , but I don’t think revealing the country in which you currently reside will harm anything.

If I am wrong and and the storm troopers come a-knocking I apologize in advance.

If I make my own country and claim myself dictator, can you add the flag??

Follow up question
if I wear an aluminum hat, will it preserve my anonymity, privacy and virginity?

There is an official flag for the village I was born in, Bloxwich in the Black Country.

Image

This was made official last year on the 5th May

We also have our Black Country Flag since 14th July 2017, which is Black Country Day :D :D the date was picked to mark the area's industrial heritage.

It is linked to the anniversary of the invention of the world's first steam engine, the Newcomen Engine, built in 1712.

A replica of the engine takes pride of place at Black Country Living Museum, in Dudley.

Image

There are lots of other official flags here if you want to have a browse, maybe your town has one?

There are also County Flags :D :th: :th:
