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 AmericaFR— 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— CataloniaEU— EuropeGB-ENGLAND— EnglandGB-SCOTLAND— ScotlandGB-WALES— Wales
