My thinking is in line with Anomie if this table invites nationalist strife then removing flags would help reduce friction They re just decorative anyway and as far as I can tell the flags are not actually part of the standard Hence some flags get used on multiple rows which seems a little odd for a standard setting out unique designators for each different territory However if we did have flags it would be better to include them all rather than have selective omissions which would effectively be OR editors not sources would be choosing whether or not to put a flag on each row
