Update (03 August 2014) - After doing another full checkup along with discussing with MillhioreF just now, here's my new findings:

  1. Ecuador: Update small flag, see http://cdn.boardhost.com/flags/ec.png.
  2. French Guiana: Doesn't have to be fixed, but currently both using France flag. As some other French countries (like Saint Barthelemy, Reunion, etc) are using unofficial flags, this may also be reviewed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_French_Guiana.
  3. Iraq: Update small flag, see http://cdn.boardhost.com/flags/iq.png.
  4. Lybia: Redesign large flag, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Libya. Update small flag, see http://cdn.boardhost.com/flags/ly.png.
  5. Malawi: Update small flag, see http://cdn.boardhost.com/flags/mw.png (requires trimming, and take note of the almost-indistinguishable different-colored border).
  6. New Caledonia: Redesign large flag, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_New_Caledonia. Update small flag, see http://cdn.boardhost.com/flags/nc.png.
  7. Reunion: Redesign small flag, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_R%C3%A9union.
  8. Saint Barthelemy: Either redesign small flag (currently using https://s.ppy.sh/images/flags/bl.gif) or use France flag for large one, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_and_coat_of_arms_of_Saint_Barth%C3%A9lemy.
  9. Saint Martin: Doesn't have to be fixed, but currently both using France flag. As some other French countries (like Saint Barthelemy, Reunion, etc) are using unofficial flags, this may also be reviewed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Collectivity_of_Saint_Martin.
  10. Tuvalu: Update small flag, see http://cdn.boardhost.com/flags/tv.png.
  11. Wallis and Futuna: Redesign large flag, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Wallis_and_Futuna
And below are countries that don't exist while it's supposedly may have one:
  1. Caribbean Netherlands (BQ): Previously was part of Netherlands Antilles, but now becomes "literally" an independent country. Still part of Netherlands though.
  2. Curacao (CW): Previously was part of Netherlands Antilles, but now becomes "literally" an independent country. Still part of Netherlands though.
  3. Kosovo (XK): Used a temporary user-assigned country code. Supposedly going to be assigned with CV, but not yet for now.
  4. Sint Maarten (SX): Previously was part of Netherlands Antilles, but now becomes "literally" an independent country. Still part of Netherlands though. This is the southern part of a divided island(s), the Northern part is called Saint Martin which is part of France.
  5. South Sudan (SS): Independent country, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Sudan.
As an additional note, MillhioreF recently added both small and large flag variants for indeterminate locations (Anonymous Proxy, Satellite Provider, and Asia/Pacific Region). The small flag lacks border as it's directly resized from large flag. Reference can be taken from other small flags such as Japan and Cyprus.

Previous post below:
Decided to bump this thread.

I found out that peppy simply dump in the flag given from Natteke's link, as I downloaded the flag from the link as well. Inside the folder, the files have variety of filenames format, which is quite cluttered. Additionally, some country names may need to be renamed as peppy simply placed some sort of script to automate the image hotlinking.

The list below mentions only 128×128 images, while peppy actually dumped every images inside the folder including 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, and 256×256. I also pointed out some problems regarding small images as well, comparing to the Flag Counter website (this is also where I got the country codes from).

So these are what I found (I may sound like Mr. Obvious, but oh well... :P):

Below are list of countries which have missing large flags due to wrong filename
  1. Aland Islands: Rename Aland-Islands-128.png into Aland-Islands-Flag-128.png.
  2. Antigua and Barbuda: Rename Antigua-and-Barbuda-128.png into Antigua-and-Barbuda-Flag-128.png.

  17. Netherlands Antilles: Rename Netherlands-Antilles-128.png into Netherlands-Antilles-Flag-128.png.
  18. New Zealand: Rename New-Zealand128.png into New-Zealand-Flag-128.png.
  19. Northern Mariana Islands: Rename Northern-Mariana-Islands128.png into Northern-Mariana-Islands-Flag-128.png.
  20. Saint Kitts and Nevis: Rename Saint-Kitts-and-Nevis-128.png into Saint-Kitts-and-Nevis-Flag-128.png.
  21. Saint Pierre and Miquelon: Rename either Saint Pierre and Miquelon128.png or SPM-128.png (both are slightly different), into Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon-Flag-128.png. Delete other flag file if necessary.
  22. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: Rename either Saint Vincent and the Grenadines128.png or SVG-128.png (both are slightly different), into Saint-Vincent-and-the-Grenadines-Flag-128.png. Delete other flag file if necessary.
  23. Trinidad and Tobago: Rename Trinidad-and-Tobago-128.png into Trinidad-and-Tobago-Flag-128.png.
  24. United Arab Emirates: Rename United-Arab-Emirates-128.png into United-Arab-Emirates-Flag-128.png.

Below are list of countries which have missing large flags due to different country name
  1. Cote D'Ivoire: Rename country name into Ivory Coast.
  2. Iran, Islamic Republic of: Rename country name into Iran.
  3. Lao People's Democratic Republic: Rename country name into Laos.
  4. Macedonia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of: Rename country name into Macedonia.
  5. Syrian Arab Republic: Rename country name into Syria.
  6. Tanzania, United Republic of: Rename country name into Tanzania.

Below are list of countries which needs to be reviewed
  1. Congo, The Democratic Republic of the: Rename country name into Congo-Kinshasa. Rename Congo-Kinshasa-128.png into Congo-Kinshasa-Flag-128.png. (Not to be confused with its neighboring "Congo")
  2. French Guiana: Flag doesn't exist from Natteke's link provided. Different flag style exists, while the current small flag style is using similar to France one.
  3. Guadeloupe: Rename Guadeloupe-128.png into Guadeloupe-Flag-128.png. Update its small flag, here's the flag as taken from Flag Counter website (changed into new "unofficial" flag).
  4. Guernsey: Rename Guernsey-128.png into Guernsey-Flag-128.png. Add its small flag image as it doesn't have one, and here's the flag as taken from Flag Counter website.
  5. Holy See (Vatican City State): Rename country name into either Holy See, Vatican City State, or Vatican City. There are 2 flag files, both are slightly different: Holy-see-Flag-128.png and Vatican-City-128.png.
  6. Isle of Man: Update its small flag, and here's the flag as taken from Flag Counter website (has darker red color, and distinguishes the difference with Morocco flag).
  7. Jersey: Update its small flag, and here's the flag as taken from Flag Counter website (which looks better than having flags with border lines anyway).
  8. Libyan Arab Jamahiriya: Rename country name into Libya. While file renaming isn't necessary, the flag design may need to be updated to reflect the current flag style.
  9. Myanmar: This is also known as Burma, so this is either keeping the name as is or rename it. If "Myanmar" is used, rename Burma-Flag-128.png into Myanmar-Flag-128.png; else if "Burma" is used, no file rename necessary. Another problem is that the flag is using old flag style (which is hard to distinguish with Taiwan flag), while the new one is already changed. Flag Counter website apparently has the new small flag style as well.
  10. Nepal: Modify its small flag so that it doesn't appear stretched.
  11. New Caledonia: I'm not sure about its large flag since it has France flag. While it does related to France, New Caledonia does has its own flag (and it appears that the small flag itself is of the New Caledonia flag).
  12. Palestinian Territory Occupied: Rename country name into Palestinian Territory, and rename file Palestinian-Territory128.png into Palestinian-Territory-Flag-128.png
  13. Reunion: Rename Reunion-128.png into Reunion-Flag-128.png. While it does related to France, Reunion does has its own flag (and it appears that the large flag itself is of the Reunion flag).
  14. Switzerland: Modify its small flag so that it doesn't appear stretched.
  15. Timor-Leste: Also known as East Timor. 2 different flag files of same countries exists: East-Timor128.png (may need to be renamed into East-Timor-Flag-128.png if country name changes) and Timor-Leste-Flag-128.png. You can remove either one of the files.
  16. Virgin Islands, British: Either rename it to British Virgin Islands or staying as it is. Rename flag filename from British-Virgin-Islands-128.png into either British-Virgin-Islands-Flag-128.png or Virgin-Islands,-British-Flag-128.png accordingly.
  17. Virgin Islands, U.S.: Either rename it to Virgin Islands (doesn't require renaming flag filename, staying as Virgin-Islands-Flag-128.png), U.S. Virgin Islands (requires renaming flag filename into U.S.-Virgin-Islands-Flag-128.png), or stay as it is (requires renaming flag filename into Virgin-Islands,-U.S.-Flag-128.png).

Below are list of countries that are not supposed to be a... "country", perhaps (with extra notes)
  1. Annonymous Proxy: Flag doesn't even exist.
  2. Antartica: Rename Antarctica-128.png into Antartica-Flag-128.png. Update small flag with this one. (well, I dunno what to say about this. Oh well... :P)
  3. Asia/Pacific Region: Flag doesn't even exist.

  16. Guinea-Bissau: No changes necessary.

  20. Korea, Democratic People's Republic of: Rename country name into North Korea. (Not to be confused with Korea, which is actually "South Korea". Someone did requested to change his/her flag into this country :roll:)

Regarding the country merge, I can't decide some countries as they either:
  1. Have relations to multiple countries. (e.g: Martinique to both France and United States)
  2. Have relations to countries located overseas. (e.g: Cayman Islands to United Kingdom, located around United States)
  3. Are actually independent countries despite being small. (e.g: Chad)
At the time I wrote this post, there's 184 countries visible on the Country Ranking list.

Explain the issue you are having:
https://osu.ppy.sh/p/countryranking?p=c ... o=1&page=3

The flag exists, but it doesn't show up in the profiles of any players or in the country rank list.
MillhioreF
Confirming. Andorra's small flag exists on the server, but it's not showing up anywhere for some reason.



Edit: I can't even embed it in my post... Linking works fine though. https://s.ppy.sh/images/flags/ad.gif
MillhioreF
Denmark doesn't have a large 128px flag on the country ranking: https://osu.ppy.sh/p/pp?s=3&o=1&c=DK



In this case, the flag doesn't exist on the server at all, despite having its own entry in the flag set.
Repurposing this thread because it would be silly to have a thread for each dead flag.

So you did! Lemme merge your post into this thread.
MillhioreF
I've fixed most of these. It'd be nice if you updated the OP to just contain countries that need renaming or flags that need design updates (unless I missed some certain flags when I renamed them!)

I'll take another look at this again. Posting just to indicate that I'm still monitoring this issue.
