Where is the Scottish flag?

Yes sorry, it was pre empting the normal rubbish you get about what the flag of St George represents. It has been portrayed in the popular (normally left wing) press as a symbol of certain extreme (right wing)elements. Many "normal" Englishmen wish to reclaim our National flag from this negative perception and use it as it was intended, a symbol to represent our nation
I accept your argument. The United States of Europe (European Community) Therefore must be a country too ?

Remember Scotland and Wales have there own assemblies and are not fully involved with English law (see the West Lothian Question) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Lothian_question

Wikipedia: "Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom..." Scotland has always had its own separate national Chess federation, national competitions and national teams (as has England). If the governing bodies of international sports from football to chess can recognise Scotland and England as countries, why not lichess? :p The Scottish flag or Saltire is the oldest in Europe still in use today and has a proud history. It represents nationhood, which should not be confused with lesser entities such as autonomous regions or states in a federation.
The core of Little_Bobby_Tables argument is simply wrong. He says of Scotland and England: "Namely, none of them are countries..." This is factually incorrect. Scotland and England are not nation states, but they are countries.
Well I think #14 closes the argument.

Can we have our flags please ?
Lmao - I think the developers simply downloaded a package with flags and countries and did not try to discriminate anyone.

By the way, comparing the UK to Europe, and their respective smaller parts is so wrong. I can't even begin to understand how anyone came up with that argument.
Take a look at the previous page and tell me that they were "merely pretending".
Well as it was me that brought it up, errr yes ! I was pointing out the argument for with a ridiculous argument against.
