Bonus: Scottish/Irish/Flemish flags (among others)
The EITC from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Will go well with any Jack Sparrow save, or with the East Indies mod (if playing with the mod, you can always change Malacca to Singapore in citynames_enu)
Any other requests from fictional pirate universes?

FYI
For those who do not recognise the Irish flag
The Irish Flag included is the St Patrick's Saltire
Saint Patrick's Saltire
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick%27s_Saltire
A British invention,
used by the British (not Irish) for Northern Ireland
as included as part of the Union Jack
Northern Ireland (NI) is only a part of Ulster province.
The most northern part of Ulster province, Malin Head in Donegal
is actually in the Republic of Ireland (or simply Ireland) aka Southern Ireland)
The term Ireland is used interchangeably for the geographic complete
Island by people in the republic or for the Republic of Ireland
(the difference is in the usage context).
The fact this annoys NI being a bonus, along with everybody in
Island of Ireland (including NI) being eligible as an Irish citizen.
Some in NI regard themselves as British, even though the actual British
refer to them as Irish.
(It is a complicated part of the world!)
NI tend to use the term Ulster or province to refer to NI
which is never used by Ireland (which includes part of both) for NI.
The cross version instead of a saltire, would be more familiar
and generally used by the actual Irish as The Saint Patrick's Cross
which predates the English use of the Cross of St George
(There is no St George in most of Ireland and the
Cross of St George to most Irish is actually the earlier
The Saint Patrick's Cross.
Irish use of the term "Celtic Sea" being a better fit for a Sea
between Ireland (with the most Sea coastline and having naming "dibs"),
Wales and Cornwall
for the former defunct St George Channel off southern Ireland
The fact this annoys the English being a bonus)
(The X-shaped cross or saltire is more known as the Scottish Cross
of St Andrew)

Cheers, that's right, I should have specified it's not a modern Irish flag. I felt it was historical enough for our era based on this entry from that article:
| Quote: | | A 1576 map of Ireland (or "Hirlandia") by John Goghe shows the FitzGerald arms over their spheres of influence. It also shows a red saltire flag flying at the masthead of a ship, possibly an Irish pirate, which is engaged in action in the Saint George's Channel with another ship flying the Saint George's cross. |
