I think any flag people want short of something like an ISIS or swastika should be fine.
Catalonia is a Spanish region, not a country
Sort:
How much do you get paid to work for UnitedRaptions to destroy cultures, ethnicitys, and families?
How many platforms does your 'bot post on destroying everything good in the world, and how can I get a job like this???

Oh no, I am from "International", which is not a country either...where can I turn myself in to the police?
Oh wait, you are using an invalid country code yourself...
If you seriously do not understand why international is an option as a nationality I'll try to explain. Imagine you were born in North Korea. You now move to a completely different country (let's say Italy) which you feel you have nothing to do with.
You are aware that saying that you are from North Korea could lead to assumptions being made about you or discrimination. But it feels weird putting your nationality as Italy as you just moved and you feel like a total stranger to the country. International is the perfect tool for that.
In this case, if you are from Catalonia, you are from Spain, whether you like it or not. If you don't, put international unless it becomes a country but Catalonia is Spain. That's like putting California as a nationality option.
I think more than a few people would be really OK with having California as a nationality option, southern California anyway. Who knows, maybe booting SoCal out of the USA might start here.
NorCal would love to rid themselves of the SoCal lunacy. I’m sure much of the country as a whole wouldn’t mind it either.
Catalonia is a region inside Spain, because Catalonian people are not interested in separation.
Catalonia is not a country, is a state. Giving the country flag but deny it to the rest of the state's on the world is a mistake that should be reversed, or given to anyone. Unless the CEO at chess.com has been bribed to accept it as a flag, i don't see another reason why even consider it.

Exactly. If you call Catalonia a country, you absolutely have to call every U.S. state one as well.
I recognise the independent republic of Catalunya, founded October 2017.

So Catalonia is kind of like California. Except unlike California, it doesn't beg for federal aid still. Catalonia is probably cleaner with less drug needles and human excrement on it's streets.
God bless those sanctuary cities.
Bwahahahahaha!!!
Catalina independent but with Spanish aid 😂🤣😂
There are some so called historical regions in Spain, which have a strong sense of identity, their own language, and a long history having his own way before the country merged as a whole at the end of the Middle Ages. Catalonia is one of them.

I can only guess from your statement that you're ignorant of the fact that California is a fiscal net positive in terms of Federal monies contributed vs recieved.

California is obligated to contribute money to the federation and in turn reaps many benefits, security and acknowledgement and regulation being three of them. "There are other states who don't beg for the welfare that California does and don't need it."
I have no idea as to what point you're making there. As to your first point all states are required to contribute but not as states contribute equally. To call a state that's a net positive as beggars, full of drugs and human excrement is incendiary, ignorant and myopic.
California is/was asking for Federal Aid to fight wildfires.

Hogwash. Did you know that that 60% of the wildfire areas in California are federally owned parks and lands that the federal government is responsible for maintaining? Or do you get all your knowledge from 140-character Trump tweets and Fox News opinion shows?
Your so called "baby" is the world's 5th largest economy and provides a full quarter of the country's food...the US would be f'ed beyond belief if that baby weren't around. Meanwhile, about 15-20 states could disappear tomorrow without the country even noticing.
Perspective.

He didn't mention anything about fiscal net positive or negative. He said California begs for money, which is true. It's also extremely likely Catalonia has less of a drug problem. I think the larger point is that so many of the nations problems come from California, including the idea of sanctuary cities. There is probably a reason why more people with means are moving out of California vs moving in. While people who dont contribute much to society are moving in rather than moving out.

I never mentioned wildfires and am not interested in adhoms because I am an adult. The other poster, PBkid didn't claim that welfare had anything to do with your wildfires either, there are many other fundings, legislation and privileges cali likes to ask for.
...and they are entitled to all of them. If you would like to enumerate some actual facts about California's balance sheet re: federal spending vs. tax intake...go right ahead. For extra credit, try it without cut and pasting from some right wing website that omits key facts and figures. Until then, you're just another whiner from some flyover state with weather-envy...wait, scratch that, you are a 1 day old soon-to-be-banned-yet-again sockpuppet of a whiner from some flyover state with weather-envy. Wait, scratch that...you are a "oh no, I was banned 1 hour later" 1 day old soon-to-be-banned-yet-again sockpuppet of a whiner from some flyover state with weather-envy...

As usual, you are trotting out the conservative, "4th of July hotdogs at the summer picnic", "my daddy has values that he taught me" narrative (oops, I forgot your favorite "never surrender, quitters never win").
People with means have moved *into* California for decades. The spillover and whatever partial exodus is going on has more to do with the lack of affordable housing for those people that *don't* produce six figures a year (also known as "having means"). People don't want to commute 2+ hours because their $75K jobs are not enough to sustain them in an area flooded with 20-somethings making $150k+ a year. Sucks to be them (really, I am not being sarcastic...they have to move farther and farther away from the place everybody wants to live in order to make it).
Homeless peoples' #1 reason to move someplace? So they won't die of exposure at night. That eliminates the majority of the country right there. Secondary reason? Services. And guess what...services are naturally better in areas where people have an abundance of disposable income.
If the people of means leave California, the homeless will just find the next best weather + abundance of money area on the list...right now, it's the Bay Area. One day if ever you are homeless, you'll strongly consider moving there, too 
. That list will naturally include several more areas in California...but if things get crappy enough, I'm sure the homeless will end up in your neck of the woods, someday.

As for my neck of the woods, most of the 1% gets priced out, homeless will do no better.
That post was not even in reply to you, so how could it possibly be projected at you? Unless you'd like to tell us something about you and lfPatriotGames?
Honestly though, you won't have any credibility here until you are able to maintain an account for longer than a week or two, stop using silly and arguably racist avatars/username combos (is the completely threadbare/empty Facebook account supposed to give you some extra legitimacy or something? Seems like a big waste of time...), and stop spouting obvious and insecure BS like "the 1% can't even afford it where I live".

My username is my legal name and I was born in Malawi. My credibility is squeaky clean, I am a positive member of over 200 clubs and have shared plenty of quality content with no offenses.
Not on this account you haven't. It's 1 day old. I think I already mentioned that. You do have 50+ friends and are in over 200 clubs, though, but I would argue that a history of being a positive member takes somewhat longer than a day to accumulate. Maybe you need to talk to support about why your account creation date is yesterday.
Maybe I'll talk to them on your behalf...you do seem pretty busy joining clubs and friending indiscriminate members that accept all friend requests.
I can only hope those who wanted that flag were in for the lolz.
