I noticed that when I was updating my profile I cannot change my flag (i.e. Change Union Flag for the Scottish Saltire). On a personal level I feel offended by the Union Flag and do not wish to be represented by it. Can you please add the other three flags (i.e. Scotland, Wales and northern Ireland)?

Scul needs to answer this, in the meantime I have disabled the Union Flag for you.
Happy trucking!

Scotland is not a recognised sovereign nation by the United Nations, therefore the Scottish flag is a regional flag.
To avoid every other European region demanding their regional flags to be instated (Flanders, Catalonia, etc. etc) we decided against having regional flags for the nations that make up the UK.

Many thanks Scul and Almighty. Thanks also for your explanation, Scul. I will accept having the Union rag removed for me.
