@tomlutzenberger commented on GitHub (Jun 20, 2016):

Jan Mayen is Part of Norway and has no own flag:

"Jan Mayen is a volcanic island in the Arctic Ocean and a part of the Kingdom of Norway."
(Wikipedia)

"Neither Svalbard nor Jan Mayen have their own flag or coat of arms, and the flag of Norway is used for both of them, both alone and as a group."
(Wikipedia)
Saba is missing (Flag)
Zimbabwe is not missing. See here
Sint Eustatius is missing (Flag)
Kosovo is missing, but (IMHO) it's political status should be clarified (Flag)

For the future, please do more research.

Dear @ankit007pandit,

Thank you so much for reporting this issue... and on top of that sending me a personal email to make sure that I will read in. I'm totally on it. I can see that you need it very badly for your project, so I'm dropping everything as we speak and I'll start following up and adding more of your needed flags. Are you sure you want only those?! Maybe some help with other parts of your project..? If the deadline is near, don't hesitate to ask us anything and we'll be at your help.. as soon as possible (as you wanted and you asked)..!! Stay put..

@tomlutzenberger You didn't have to.. :)

I believe that X? codes are in some way provisional so I'd question if they
are appropriate for the project.

You're almost right, @seanfoo 😃
After a quick research, I found out, that those X* Country Codes are user-assigned = non-official.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#User-assigned_code_elements

And I agree, that it it questionable if "unofficial" Flags should be included.
On one hand, it would be nice to have a complete collection of all country flags. On the other hand it is also reasonable to only include currently official and acknowledged flags.

But it's @lipis' turn to decide wether he wants to maintain a flag collection that represents the current situation or a historical flag archive.

@seanfoo @tomlutzenberger It took me a while to add few non ISO flags but I'm not planning in any way to include all of them at this point.. adding them means maintenance and that wasn't the goal of this project.. and definitely there is no plan to have a historical archive.. that's what Wikipedia is for..

As for you @ankit007pandit my dear friend.. sure! I'll prepare the flags and send them to you directly.. worry not! Like I said before I have nothing else to do so it won't be an issue and you could totally deliver it on time over the weekend! I can also send them to you in a printed version if you like..
