we aren't an official repository for defining countries or nations.

we allow people to choose their identity and offer as many options as reasonable. sometimes this causes problems when there are disputed countries. but we aren't picking sides - we're a chess site trying to make people happy. we encourage people to resolve their differences in the appropriate political venues, not on our site. 

enjoy!

This is the point you are missing. Chess.com doesn't draw political boundaries, it merely tries to represent various peoples who have a voice. I'm sure if enough Bavarians made a good enough case for a flag, it would be considered for inclusion. This is a chess site, not the United Nations.


Then please make a Union Jack for me !!!

Catalonia has also a national soccer team registred at FIFA. Probably people from Barcelona likes to feel living a independent coutry.

Let's play chess! The spanish political configuration is not our business.

The Jolly Roger doesn't describe one's geographical location/allegiance/heritage, does it?

I notice that you are from Berlin, Spain.  Does this constitute official notice of Spain's annexation of part of Germany?  How dare you sir.

There's an inanity threshhold, I imagine.  And we're receding into the distance beyond it.

At least here Catalonia is free. Ask people there about this! Your opinion doesn't change their fight for freedom.

I insist, let's play chess. This website is not about spanish political situation.
