Ok for this release I've gone through and added:
New European Nations added in update 1.3.1
New Asian Nations added in update 1.3.1
New African Nations added in update 1.3.1
New Flags for most of the new formable nations
New Flags for releasable nations that fit within the timeframe of the 1930s and 1940s
I'll see if I can eventually get around to finishing off the rest of the releasable nations, but my primary focus was around nations that played active roles in the timespan of the game

Here I am looking at the flags within Hearts of Iron IV thinking to myself good god what are those terrible horrors!

FAQ
Q: Why is Japan not using the rising sun flag?
A: The reason the current fascist flag is the Hinomaru (sun disk flag) is because that is what the state used until the end of WW2. The Rising Sun flag is officially the Imperial Japanese Navy and the Imperial Japanese Army's flag with the IJA having their sun disk centred instead but was never used on a state level. For this mod, it focuses on using historical state and national flags hence why I am not using the Rising Sun Flag.
Q: I think that (insert flag here) would be good for the mod
A: If there is no state flag available for usage, the one you have shared fits and you can briefly justify the usage of it, I will consider it for use.
Q: I want to use incorporate your mod into the one I am working on is that ok?
A: Absolutely, just make sure you credit me
