Re: Impossible Flags (Countries and Regions)
Paul one question: there was somebody at least one visitor from the Caribbean Netherlands (BES Islands), and in general they were ever available here?

Re: Impossible Flags (Countries and Regions)
They are not available in here... They have IPs assigned but those IPs are not active. As soon as they will be, it BES will be available.

Re: Impossible Flags (Countries and Regions)
Ha, what the hell is that? 
Basically, this is all you need to know:
.bq is designated—but not in use—as the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba[1] (the Caribbean Netherlands) following the assignment on December 15, 2010, by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency of BQ as the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 to the area.[2] This decision followed the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles and new status of the Caribbean Netherlands as public bodies of the Netherlands on October 10, 2010.
Currently the Caribbean Netherlands use the former Netherlands Antilles's ccTLD, .an, which is being phased out. As part of the Netherlands proper, also .nl applies.
