Hi,

New Caledonia (country code NC) has 2 flags, the French one and the Kanak one.

[(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Caledonia#/media/File:Flag_of_FLNKS.svg)]

The French one being available already with code FR, could you change NC for the Kanak one, or make a double flag image?

Thanks

Two flags are in use in New Caledonia, an overseas territory of France. Up to 2010, the only flag used to represent New Caledonia was the flag of France, a tricolor featuring three vertical bands coloured blue (hoist side), white, and red known to English speakers as the French Tricolour or simply the Tricolour. However, in July 2010, the Congress of New Caledonia voted in favour of a wish to fly the Kanak flag of the independentist movement FLNKS alongside the French tricolor. The wish, legally non-binding, proved controversial. [1][2]. A majority of Neo-Caledonian communes, but not all, now fly both flags, the rest flying only the Tricolour

Here is what other repos show for iso: NC

New Caledonia was classified as an overseas territory beginning in 1946, but as a result of the 1998 Nouméa Accord, it gained a special status (statut particulier or statut original) in 1999. A New Caledonian citizenship was established (in addition to the French citizenship which is kept in parallel, along with the consequent European citizenship), and a gradual transfer of power from the French state to New Caledonia itself was begun, to last from 15 to 20 years.

In July 2010, New Caledonia adopted the Kanak flag, alongside the existing French tricolor, as dual official flags of the territory.[41] The adoption made New Caledonia one of the few countries or territories in the world with two official national flags.[41] The decision to use two flags has been a constant battleground between the two sides and led the coalition government to collapse in February 2011.

Any official New-Caledonia application should display both flags. My point is that the French flag is already available in this library, the kanak flag is not.
I need to have a drop down list of countries and I need to put both flags for NC, so there are two options:

Make the NC flag in the library composed of the two flags side by side (is that technically possible)?
Make the NC flag the Kanak flag, and developer need to manage this in their code
if(country === 'NC') { displayFlag('FR'); displayFlag('NC') } else { displayFlag(country); }

With the FlagMeister Custom Element (modern browsers) you can do:

FlagMeister ISO:nc is the French flag

<img is=flag-nc>
<img is=flag-nc detail=1>

This forces the second IMG to load the SVG from the default Repo (RestCountries API)
when the size is 1 pixel or larger wide
RestCountries uses the Kanak flag

Or set the source Repo to Lipis (which now has the Kanak flag in nc.svg)

<img is=flag-nc>
<img is=flag-nc detail=1 
          source="//raw.githubusercontent.com/lipis/flag-icon-css/master/flags/4x3/">
