I think -but again, it's just a feeling- that these are rarer than Vatican City...

North Korea

Yes, I guess that would be a hard one to get... I have it, but I don't think I really played against someone IN North Korea... Perhaps someone FROM NK but living somewhere else, or just someone who picked this country for just no reason at all...

I miss living in North Korea.

belize

or what about guam

the problem is that we're discussing our feelings about which is the rarest, and that's based on our experience, which is not representative...

There is no stat to be found about how many players from each country are active on the site?

That would give us a good start to classify the flags by rarity, and the each could answer the question...

I've actually been to Belize.

I'm trying to get all countries on chess.com... I have Greenland

BTW, how about Olympic and Paralympic, which are listed as countries? How rare is that?

They say when you play chess in Catalonia, you should never, NEVER, ever let a cat alone with ya!

XD

It's mine... North Korea

I picked up St. Pierre & Miquelon today. Population 5800

ok, this is rare... (and I've got it, too )
