Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lipis/flag-icons/issues/1155

Any chance to include 2 single file flags for Bonaire and Sint Eustatius?
Currently you only have the Bonaire, "Sint Eustatius and Saba" one.

Refering to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonaire#/media/File:Flag_of_Bonaire.svg and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Sint_Eustatius.svg

To begin with we might have to rename the one that we have now to Caribbean Netherlands as per Wikipedia.. and I'll think about adding the separate ones..

But it's like it is on ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code

Yes I know ;-)

Question is if you support alternative flags, too, e.g. French Guiana, Goadeloupe, Mayotte surely have the French flag as official...but they all have also some commonly used/local ones. (see wikipedia)

By the way: Saint Helena might also need an update: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Saint_Helena

...and you miss Somaliland...but ok.....we talk about official iso country code countries, don't we ;-)

I added an issue for Saint Helena.. thanks! #1156

I'm out of the office these days.. once I'm back I'll think about it, what would be the best approach.. because the flags are endless TBH.. we need to put a line.. I used to say.. if there is a football team and represented somewhere as nation I'll add it :)

i dont know if it is desired but if countries have a 'local' flag why not just do gf (french flag) and gf-local (local flag)
or even simpler gf-1,gf-2 something to denote the original one and the additional ones.

I vote for seperate flags for Bonaire and Sint Eustatius as well :) I understand the dilemmas you explained and they have as far as I know no official soccer team, but that's the same for Catalonia, Canary Islands and Basque Country for example. 👍

You already have the French flag. I would suggest using the 2nd one & including an explanatory note in the documentation. The same for any other external French territories that have their own unofficial flags.
