Source of country flags

Our flag images are based on vector files from Wikimedia Commons, a media repository under the Wikimedia Foundation, which also operates Wikipedia. Wikipedia is known for its reliability and accuracy, as it is continuously verified and updated by millions of contributors worldwide. By utilizing resources from this source, we ensure that our flag images are accurate and up-to-date, reflecting the same standard of trust and verification found in Wikipedia.

We are automatically notified of changes done on Wikimedia and manually review them before processing.
