I had a play with VPN yesterday and it does work!

I would not do that. At one time we were getting a lot of spam and one method of dealing with it is to use an add-on to ban vpn and proxies, which we may do again any time we get those issues again...

When I do, it's usually by accident, when I'm using vpn for another purpose and come visit at the same time...

the rest you can google - images of the flags you can find online

I searched for "magrathea flag" on Google and found nothing.
Probably because Douglas Adams didn't think it was important to have a flag for magrathea when he invented that planet......

 

[MandyH]

I've already switched my flag off.

Ummm ... are you sure you switched your flag off? Or have you switched it back on again?

Hopefully, mine is off?

in which case you'll be aware that Milliways, The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe was built on the planet formerly known as Magrathea, so their logo would suffice -

and of course the folks at Millways hacker village might be able to arrange an appropriate IP address

Over last weekend my flag travelled overland from Croatia, through Slovenia to Itly in order to fly back to the Union Jack

But thanks to Michael O'Leary and his reliably unreliable airline the flag stayed in Italia for two extra days before flying back to Coatia and then to UK on two different non-O'Leary airlines

 

[Colin the Bear]

Nice touch to have the country pop up when you hover over the flag. I might learn something.

It would be interesting if it was say a couple of hundred years ago when Europe was a patchwork quit of the old Holy Roman Empire dukedoms, archdukedoms, principalities, small kingdoms. The majority were subsumed as nation states such as Italy, Germany, Poland, Netherlands etc were forming so places like Pomerania would have their own national flag.

Plenty to keep Café vexillology department busy. Maybe we should include Ruritania along with Magrathea

 

[U CAN CALL ME AL]

Sadly this is not possible with this feature, see above.

Wierd. Mine shows me in The Netherlands, but I'm over Croatia. Guess that's aircraft WiFi for you.

What Airline are you flying with?

 

[kevgermany]

Emirates

 

[Ne0Wolf7]

What about a skull and cross bones?

That sould be the flag when you're on a boat.
If only that information was attainable by ip

 

[Targa]

Emirates

Did you get this one?
Although I don't know how an aeroplane spewing out tons of pollutants into the atmosphere where it does the most damage can carry a slogan 'united for wildlife'.

What Airline are you flying with?

Connection via Sita.

 

[Jazzaferri]

It's useful for instance if I take my mistress away for a weekend In Paris, my wife can see the French flag and knows where I am.

Oh, wait....

Yes, definitely Ruritania. Frankly, I would love to live there because it's a place of mystery, adventure, intrigue and romance.

Ruritania - (background info)

 

[kevgermany]

Ruritania, utopia... Always fancied Never Never Land. But Wendy moved out.

Where you're at is best. But doesn't hurt to dream.
