New flags
Thanks to Basquine for the translation 
1. Would it be possible to add the flags of Easter Island and Kosovo to the flags list
2. The flag of Saint Martin could be changed for a local flag
3. Flags of Bonaire, Saba an Sint Eustatius could be replace the flags of both Caribbean Netherlands and Netherlands Antilles
4.Regions of Katar, Serbia, Słowenia, Libanon, Moldowa, Myanmar, Lybia, Macedonia could be added and maybe some others too, I'm not sure which ones
5.In the "Country List" there are no flags of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Netherlands Antilles and Antarctica. Why?
Some corrections made by me. I'm not responsible for the content of the topic. I only improved the English a bit. (Jens)

Re: New flags
So, Poland.
1. Easter Island is a part of Chile and therefore it registers as that. Kosovo is not available yet, they don't have a functioning IP range.
2. That's not an official flag of Saint Martin, so no.
3. Bonaire, Sint Eustasius and Saba are officially Caribbean Netherlands. Antilles also included Sint Maarten and Curacao, so they will have to stay the way they are.
4. All the countries you mentioned are either horrible (1 or 2 regions out of tens available) or don't have FIPS at all. So, again, no.
5. That's Jeremy's responsibility. I still think all 250 countries should be there.
251/251 countries and 3,860/3,860 flags collected.

However, it should be noted that the flag of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, Wallis and Futuna we have on the counter, they are not official

Re: New flags
Yes the Official Flags of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte and Wallis and Futuna are all the French flag as they are overseas territories, however, the flags we use for Guadeloupe and Mayotte have official usage as Logo or Coat of Arms. Martinique’s and W and F both have historical significance to their territories dating back to the 1700’s and are both flown on the islands (just not in an official capacity)…. Plus wouldn’t it be boring if they were all the same French flag, I’m sure you will struggle to find anyone on those islands that would complain about the usage of these flags compared to just the French flag.

Re: New flags
@Poland. I think you got helpful answers to all your questions, now, from collectors who know what they are talking about. Much more than me.
Q5 Antilles is not listed because it has been replaced. See earlier topics. Cocos, Antarctica, and some other flags are impossible from real visits. But if I say more, I will break rule #10.

Re: New flags
No IP range, no IPs assigned and there will never be.

Re: New flags
@Poland
Honestly, it is waste of time to check new flags for special regions of a country which have no IP ranges.
Before posting a suggestion I strongly recommend to do all necessary investigations.
Altherwise I would consider it as not serious.
