Max Barry hates Haiti, he thinks they're morons.

Threadsteal, that means this must be true.

I was looking through the flags when I first started and they had like just about every flag except for Haiti.

Don't they need a government in order to have a flag?

Don't they need a flag in order to have a flag?

Or material to make a flag out of.

Or an economy or people to produce the material.

Or a country to exist to have the above.

there's also nothing stopping you from uploading your own flag... (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12108307&postcount=3)

There are known exceptions to the list of standard flags, including:

Azerbaijan, Djibouti, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Faroe Islands, Fiji, Georgia, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Libya, Maldives, Nepal, Northern Marianas, Oman, Samoa, Serbia & Montenegro, Tajikistan, Tonga, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, Uzbekistan, Vatican City, and Yemen.

Obviously, there are many more nations than default flags. That nice fellow Max Barry resolved that by giving nations the chance to upload a flag of their very own.

If you think Haiti is a real country with a real government, you need to put down the crack pipe.

Because it's a dirty, smelly, nasty place that no one should ever visit. In fact, it shouldn't even exist. Yes, I have been there.

The flag or Haiti?

Either way, the solution would be to make a flag that attracts Milla Jovovich and fly that, too.

There is no longer a Vatican City flag either. That was likely removed recently.
