For the purposes of flag display in an international forum, the selection should be limited to internationally recognized independent countries.  England and Wales are not on that list and adding them to please the UK citizens here is silly and confusing for others.  I for one have never before seen that red crest on white flag; the only flag I associate with those parts has red on blue.

The other problem with this is if you treat non-recognized parts of one country individually, you should do it for all of them, including every piece of every *stan that thinks it should be a country -- and I can't imagine where you will find a person qualified to compile that sort of list. 

Edit: if flags of non-countries are allowed, then I demand a Jolly Roger.
