I desperately need flag icons for my website, specifically looking for ones in Africa. So i'm putting forward the recommendation to create all country flags, since everyone may need them at some point or another.

Please see these examples: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-166107953/stock-vector-south-african-flag.html?src=FrZvtp88BiDSrG3OcUuRrg-1-11 http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-161687465/stock-vector-original-and-simple-uganda-flag-isolated-vector-in-official-colors-and-proportion-correctly.html?src=bzWUKFvtXlWQdTzG_NZtQw-1-0 http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-197142191/stock-vector-flag-of-zambia-vector-accurate-dimensions-element-proportions-and-colors.html?src=_yWIKP4HQNImcgYkjaZN-g-1-12 http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-160945127/stock-vector-original-and-simple-zimbabwe-flag-isolated-vector-in-official-colors-and-proportion-correctly.html?src=kTIG7aD7a3PgvirXKsE2Ng-1-1

Relates to #3992 or #4516. This kind of requests have major concernes that you can find in those related requests. I strongly suggest you to use an .svg based solution

Anyway, leaving this open.

Sorry I have to close this one because there are too many countries and those silhouettes have a lot of points which will noticeably increase the font size.

I should suggest you to consider an SVG solution
