Flag of Regions

Sort:

Hello, I have seen a few games where a player has a flag of Catalonia but for the moment is not a Country (it is a Region of Spain). So is there a way to editing the flags by yourself? Because if not I would like to put a flag of my Region/Province/Town Madrid (but then you also would have to add all the 17 Regions of Spain...or 52 Provinces... and maybe the same for other countries).

Thanks.

I don't remember the name of the forum, but a long time ago, the same subject came up, and a lot of answers were given, both pros and cons ! Perhaps you could find that forum first now, if necessary with help of our readers.

I remember e.g. Catalonia, Galicia and Grenada ; but also United Kingdom, England, Scotland, Wales, Man, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey ; and Greenland/Denmark.

It is a pity "International" exists, you can not see where they live !

The Netherlands anyhow is  clear now, originally part of the Dutchmen gave Holland as their home country, now we are one.

Clearness is important, to know where your opponent lives, also because of day- and night-times during playing a game, but feelings about your country are important as well.

The case of England and Scotland  is different from the case of Spain and Catalonia ; let's keep politics out of the chess world, you live in Madrid and that is Spain, for sure !

Ok, but the point is that I also want to be able to put the flag of my Region, or the vasque peolple theirs and so on, if not it is discriminatory.

Thanks anyway.

            RomyGer;  It had to do with northern Ireland. The thread is;  "Country Not Listed".

RonaldJosephCote

                Not to piss anybody off but; because this is a global site, I think you need a flag that is recognized by the UN.  I could be wrong.

Gibraltar isn't a part of the UK.

Oh, and neither are Guernsey, Jersey, or the Isle of Man strictly speaking.

         To Frito Lay;  How does your answer help the OP??  I'm SURE many 3rd grade graduates are throughorly familliar with international flags, not recognized by the UN. 

RonaldJosephCote

           With my apologies to all 3rd graders; I didn't know you had a CHOICE of which flag you could have. I thought it was assigned based apond the location of your IP address, when you sign up for an account. So if Eric is recognizing more flags than the UN, then members have more choices. More power to ya. Maybe Eric should go run the UN, and let me run this site.

           I think were talking about 2 different things. The OP wants to know if there's a flag besides Spain that she/he can fly. If there is, I see no reason why she can't. The flip side would be someone who say, lives in Chicago, but has German ancestry. Does he have a choice??  I don't know. America is a melting pot. REAL trolls use some obscure country of origin in an effort to hide the're IP address. I can assure you, I'm NOT a troll, never have been, and never will be. If I gave it a 2nd thought for 1 minute, I'd get my butt kicked by 4 Catholic nuns. I earned my flag THE HARD WAY, from The United States Air Force.

I would like a flag with the all seeing eye pyramid on it for those who believe in the one world government Illuminati conspiracy.
