National flag options: Northern Ireland
Any reason why the Northern Ireland flag is not in the pull-down menu of options for a nation? From the UK there are Scotland, Wales, England, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man flags as possible chocies, but no Northern Ireland.
(Libya also appears to be missing from the list...)
Well, you could go find it online if you want it. Thats what custom flags are for :wink:

Libya's is just plain green....
I am aware of the custom flags, and the option to upload your own images, but it struck me as strange that NI had been left out when other flags from less populous parts of the UK had been included.

Ummm, Having been in the UK for a long time, unless I'm missing something, there are no less populous parts of the UK than Northern Ireland.....

Yeah many are missing, I wouldn't get too upset about it.

Well, Guernsey (59,000), Isle of Man (70,000) & Jersey (84,000) combined all have less population than NI (1,578,000). (Numbers from Whittaker's Almanac 1997, the numbers will heve changed since then, but not noticeably)
I'm not getting overly-concerned about this, it just struck me as odd.

You talking about this?

Hands up if you look like a fool: I raise my hand.
Further research has revealed that the current _official_ flag of Northern Ireland is the Union Flag. The flag which I believed to technically be the NI flag was removed from official service several years ago.
Use of flags in Northern Ireland remains contentious...
Embarassing but educational.
Apologies.
But the question is what is this flag? Is it the flag posted above?
