how do we get country listing?
there are many option

1. from ISO
2. from UN
3. FIFA
4. Olympic council
5.
6. (can you guy list it down)

i saw palestine listed at IOC (Olympic)
http://www.olympic.org/uk/organisation/noc/noc_uk.asp?noc_initials=PLE

but not listed in the UN list.
chinese taipei also listed in IOC, but not in UN list.

taiwan is listed in ISO country code, but not in UN

I think, UN list is not good enough to be reference.
maybe other listing is more suitable.

if we want to allow flag in GNOME, better choose a standard as reference.
otherwise, use No Flag Policy
