Which are the 5 countries not even listed on "missing flags"?
My flag counter details tells me I'm missing 20 flags. I have 221, so that makes a total of 241. But there are 246 flags in the list, and several people have at least 245 or 246.
Which 5 flags are not even included in the missing countries list and why? There are several really difficult ones in the list, and - as some people get 246 - these 5 can't be impossible.
Can the missing 5 be added back to the "missing countries" list?

Okay -
so I've worked out that 4 of them are St Barthelemey, Bouvet Island, South Georgia & South Sandwich Is, and Svalbard/Jan Mayen. Some people have these so why are they omitted?
What is number 5?

Those flags could only be collected by using special proxy servers.
That is the reason why they don't appear on the list of missing flags.

Re: Which are the 5 countries not even listed on "missing flags"?
Heard and McDonald Islands is the 5th country. All 5, plus Antarctica, Western Sahara, Tokelau, Christmas Island, Cocos Island, French Antarctica and Pitcairn cannot be collected from real visitors. Only proxies. That makes 245. Nobody has #246 Saint Barthelmy, even though their counter might say 246. And can Jeremy put the flag of Western Sahara the correct way round on my counter ? The red on the left ? Thx.

Actually, Tokelau is supposedly still possible. There still are some IPs that trace back there. Only a bunch of them though...

It appears that number 5 on my missing-missing list is Cocos (Keeling) Is.

Yes, my mistake there. And my counter still shows Western Sahara flag in a mirror. Is it possible to put the Stars and Stripes upside down as well ?
