I created this thread for all comments related to the list of countries and their flags on the site.

I recently renamed Swaziland to Eswatini (keeping the SZ code) as the country changed its name in 2018.

In the same way, I'm changing the following:

- Czech Republic to Czechia (2016)

- Turkey to Türkiye (2022)

- Cape Verde to Cabo Verde (2013)
https://unterm.un.org/unterm2/en/view/767bae53-c5ec-41b9-8788-f86468b43873

- East Timor to Timor-Leste (?)
https://unterm.un.org/unterm2/en/view/675263e7-b566-4601-82b2-d829ce2b77f1

Still to do: add Sint-Maarten, the NL part of the Saint Martin island:

This is still not done because its country code is SX, which I used for Scotland, so I have to update that code everywhere in the database for adding the new country
Saint-Martin, the FR part, is part of France so maybe it should not really be listed as country (since it does not have its own flag)

not country name but country flag

Syria flag needs updated

You already mentioned that, but it is still not official, no?

I updated it, in worse case I can update it again if it changes.
I can't center correctly an odd number of stars, it still seems to look ok:

(open the link and ctrl+F5 on it to force refresh the flag)

there were some foreign diplomatic visits recently and that flag was used
