;Request:

: Okay, I've noticed a few inaccuracies with the above-left map that should probably be fixed:

1) The flag of the [[Dominican Republic]] is incorrectly shown for [[Dominica]] (above), a completely different country.

2) [[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines]] gained independence in 1979, not 1931.

3) There's no arrows linking the flags of the [[Maldives]], [[Myanmar]] and [[Sudan]] to their respective countries.

4) The flag of [[Malta]] is wrongly shown to be linked to the [[Balearic Islands]], not at Malta itself.

5) [[Nauru]] gained independence in 1968, not 1957.

6) The [[Maldives]] gained independence in 1965, not 1982.

7) The flags of [[Tonga]] and [[Tuvalu]] are actually shown pointing to Fiji, and the flag of [[Fiji]] itself is linked to [[Vanuatu]] (the actual locations of said countries are provided on the above-right map).

8) The flag of [[Qatar]] is wrongly shown to be linked to the [[United Arab Emirates]], not at Qatar itself.

9) The flag of [[Jordan]] seems to be pointing more at the [[West Bank]] than at Jordan itself.

10) The flag of Belize was slightly altered in 2019 (as shown above), so the one on the map should be changed to reflect that.

11) The flag of [[Mauritius]] is not pointing at Mauritius at all, but rather at a random spot in the Indian Ocean.

12) [[Papua New Guinea]] gained independence from Australia in 1975, not from Britain, hence it should be removed from the map (otherwise the map would have to include all other countries that gained independence from former British holdings, such as [[Samoa]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Namibia]], [[South Sudan]], etc.).
