United Kingdom Regional Flags
Please can you make a new flag counter for Wales, Scotland, England and Nothern Ireland.
These are all countries:
These countries all have seperate identities, languages and cultures so it would be wrong to tar us all with the same brush - 'united kingdom'.
Thanks

Re: United Kingdom Regional Flags
There have been suggestions about this on many threads and sub-forums. Jeremy has yet to reply. It could be there is a problem in identifying which country a visitor is from?
Also, as per the rules of Flagcounter, the Welsh, English, Scottish and Northern Irish flags could only be counted as regional flags - the Union Jack would still be the one shown on the national flag list. This is as it should be: whether one likes it or not, the constitutional position is that the nation is the UK, and Wales, England, Scotland and N Ireland are constituent units.
Also important is that Jeremy does NOT choose the old Stormont flag to represent N Ireland. This is not official (since 1972) and alienates the nationalist community. A non-controversial flag such as St Patrick's cross (red saltire on white) would be better.
I strongly support the call that if the UK country flags are added that they should be shown free as are the US states and Canadian province flags - without a need to upgrade to Pro.
Jeremy - any likelihood of movement on this ???

Re: United Kingdom Regional Flags
A possible Northern irish flag might be the flag of the power-sharing N I Assembly. This eschews partisan emblems of the unionist and nationalist communities, choosing instead the official flower of the area: the flax flower. This is shown in blue (the flower is blue) on a white background for peace.
This would be a good flag for Jeremy to use for the N Ireland regional flag - when we get UK region flags!!
see: (though I understand the blue border is not found on the actual flag)
How about it Jeremy?

Re: United Kingdom Regional Flags
Cool!! I just checked my flags and found that I've got an England one with three more to collect for the UK so that must mean we now have regional flags in the UK. Thankyou to whoever did that!
