To resolve this issue, we'd need to get the updated URL for these flags images from Wikipedia and replace them with the existing URL for the /countries/flags JSON data.

@Mr-emeka So I looked up Heard Island and McDonald Islands and the location has been Uninhabited since 2011 due to its heavy volcanic activities and barren Antarctic islands thus they do not have flags. So it's okay to omit them
