Now *THAT* is a great idea.  We are getting too many flags to give each its
due explaination.  We have national flags, state flags, political flags,
historic flags, and so on.  I don't think a list for a drawing application
is the appropriate platform for the debates that accompany them.  However,
I would hate all the hard work that has gone into these go to waste.  I
think wikipedia would be a very appropriate place (though I do not know
what their acceptance policies are like).  If there is not an article which
fits the flag, write one (even a skeleton one) and improve wikipedia!
