Perhaps you can pick a flag for one nationality, but put your location as something different. Pakistani flag, English location. Chinese flag, American location etc.

Makes it over-complicated imho
The flag was introduced having been seen as a simple way for readers to be able to determine what region a person was talking about when they asked for input on a car issue. So where someone COMES from is irrelevant. WHere they ARE is what counts and I personally woudl prefer to see the flag ONLY reflecting that.

Right. I don't think this is meant to be olympiad based where you are representing your beloved country. It's more of a tool to see which region you are from so people can associate advice and discussion according to where you live. That's what I understood from it anyway.

Now, how long until people get stupid with it and start changing their countries to absurd places like Madagascar? That's my main worry.

Alright, thanks... I was a bit confused, but it definitely makes a lot more sense now.

Yeah, Rockefeller's and Matra's reasons made more sense.

True, but I'm still proud of it because it means more to me than the Canadian one, being French. I guess the Portuguese flag means more to you than the Canadian one because it represent your birthplace, a different language and a different culture. Same for me, the only difference is that Quebec is not a country, unlike Portugal. I don't know if you understand what I mean... Anyway, I have nothing against using the Canadian flag, I'm Canadian after all. The "political debates" part of my sentence was sarcastic.

Rough Translation=

The flag of Quebec says nothing about Quebec.

That's what I think it meant.
