I have realised a good clue that we have overlooked for some time. You know some people will change their country to the wrong one in their profile, to try and give themselves more credibility. Well I have realised, it is a form of a lie and that points to only one logical conclusion - that they are a big cheat!

With subscribers, at least, an address (along with a credit card for payment) is required. Wouldn't the 'country' mismatch get noticed?

Are you thinking of people who claim to be from a country they aren't from (for whatever reason)? In that case I'd say the main problem (if it is a problem) would be that they are lying, and the choice of the flag would just reflect that. Or are you saying that anyone who flies a flag that neither represents xyr nationality nor xyr country of residence is a liar and a cheat? That wouldn't make much sense, as most people who do this would never claim to be from that country. They might fly that flag because they would like to live in that country, or because they think the flag looks nice, or because they want to express their solidarity with that country, or because the name of the country starts with a U. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Or tarnishing the entire nation of Antarctica (on the grounds that it is unpopulated)? - that's currently 372 players you are accusing.
Perhaps you didn't think this through.

Let's not be too hasty to start throwing people out because of this. I am currently flying the flag of Mali, tho safely settled in south Texas. I have been through about 20 countries since I joined. The reason is simple. When I joined the Pooh Clan, I had NO flag up. No particular reason, just didn't put one up. Two fellow clan-members that I will not name (Mutt and Mixo) were whinny cry-babies who kept bitching at me in the private forum that everyone should have a flag. Fine. I put one up and have been changing it every few weeks just to piss them off. I swear if the Atlantic Ocean wasn't between us this would have ended in gunplay months ago.
Enough about my psychotic clanmates..... Why aren't there flags for the following:
pirates...Saturn...zombies...Batman...busty nudes(BNL)...Holy Roman Empire?
Oh, saw something so cool at the mall today. It was a stand alone chess computer where you indicated your move and the pieces move BY THEMSELVES!!! Just went to the top of my Christmas list.
