Shows a small sprite of a country flag, using icons from the famfamfam flag icon set.

Usage

The template takes a single parameter, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the desired country.

  • US
    Flag of the United States of America
  • FR
    Flag of France

Note that this may not always be the obvious code for the country. For example:

  • GB
    Flag of the United Kingdom (Great Britain)
  • DE
    Flag of Germany (Deutschland)
  • CH
    Flag of Switzerland (Confoederatio Helvetica)

A few other flags are included for other entities, which may be used (but in most situations probably shouldn't be):

  • CAT
    Catalonia
  • EU
    Europe
  • GB-ENGLAND
    England
  • GB-SCOTLAND
    Scotland
  • GB-WALES
    Wales

Known problems

The famfamfam icon set is rather old (from 2005, in fact), and now contains some errors and omissions, including:

  • CD
    Democratic Republic of the Congo. Modified flag in 2006.
  • EC
    Ecuador. Icon is missing the flag's central seal (making it visually identical to the flag of
    Colombia).
  • EH
    Western Sahara. Icon displays the flag's reverse side.
  • IQ
    Iraq. Modified flag in 2008.
  • LS
    Lesotho. Introduced new flag in 2016.
  • LY
    Libya. Introduced new flag in 2011.
  • MM
    Myanmar. Introduced new flag in 2010.
  • MR
    Mauritania. Modified flag in 2017.
  • RS
    Serbia. Modified flag in 2010.
  • SS — South Sudan. Missing; became sovereign in 2011.
  • XK — Kosovo. Missing; became sovereign in 2008.
