Just wondering if https://github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css can be merged in some way...

@pnicorelli great suggestion - only question is whether this dataset or we open a dedicated one. wdyt?

@pnicorelli I'm of the view this is probably its own mini-dataset but not absolutely certain. @pnicorelli would you be up for contributing it?

Hi @rgrp, I made mine https://github.com/pnicorelli/countries using https://github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css as sub-repo. I use nodejs for merge data but we can write a python script (as is the main language in this repo). Just don't kwow if is the best approach use a subrepo.

@pnicorelli i'd suggest keeping this completely focused on the flags - so not including all the other info - so maybe just country code and flag (perhaps country name as well). Also can you make it into a straight up (tabular) data package?

[pnicorelli]

country code	country_name	flag3x4	flag1x1
AF	Afghanistan	xxxx	yyyy

what do you expect to find in xxxx and yyyy, a path to file (then where sore the flags) or links to remote resources or something else...
