I'll make sure that the idea is shared with the team :)

Could you do the 50 states too instead of just the U.S.?

We don't plan on adding state flags as that would set a precedent for adding other countries and their states/provinces/districts.

Having a U.S. flag is the equivalent of having a European Union flag.

The United States is a country, the European Union is not.

They're both unions of states. The U.S. is over twice the size of the E.U. in terms of land. Since the flags are about representing regions, it's a little silly that land masses under 100 thousand square miles are getting 1 flag each and a land mass of 3.7 million square miles gets only 1 flag.

I could see the 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada getting flags too.

To my knowledge, the European Union is not officially recognized as a country. We're not trying to decide what is what, instead, we're looking for official statuses.
