    I like this. I also think another valid composition would be to allow attribution of the same part of the UK flag to multiple countries. This would only really add a few more percent to Northern Ireland, sharing part of the center with England’s flag. It would also push the sum of all flags beyond 100%.

    But hey, isn’t the UK supposed to be greater than the sum of its parts? Poor Wales though.

    Wales’ status is somewhere between Scotland (with its own legal system, school curriculum and NHS) and Cornwall (a part of England which was once a distinct celtic nation). It was conquered by the English rather than its ruling elites being convinced to voluntarily unite, so was governed as if it was essentially a corner of England where some of the locals speak a funny language (which the authorities tried to cane out of them in schools). Now it has a parliament-like assembly, though without the legislative power of the Scottish one, and Welsh is officially used on signage throughout Wales (alongside English).

    Shouldn’t the diagonal white stripes also be included on the English flag, as it’s just a red cross on a solid white background?

      Quiet, last thing we want to do is draw attention to ourselves. If they leave us alone we can get on with things
