Fighters who came from that region before it fragmented should be represented by the old Yugoslav flag. Same with such defunct flags as the Soviet flag, the East German flag (mostly for amateur olympians), the Imperial Russian and German flags (I'd stay far away from the Nazi flag though), the Austro-Hungarian flag, the old South African and Canadian flags etc. It's a very minor issue but I thought I'd bring it up. But, if it were possible, how could one find and download new flags into the game?

I have done that in my database. I go to a website that has maps and flags of the world and download, readjust the size and add it to the countries in the db. I keep Yugoslavian, USSR, etc. If there are fighters formally from those regions, I put them under that flag. I have Czechoslovakia too, even though I have the country split up as it is right now in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. So, for the fictional fighter, Ivan Drago, I have him from the Soviet Union, USSR, because when the movie was made, that is how the country was represented. I also have him under the Russian flag for current fighters.
