It doesn't even end there.

So you have your national flags (will Tibet's be vetoed by the Chinese
members and there's more of these situations), then you get the naval jack,
and what about the civil jack, civil ensign, naval ensign, and various flags
for groups like the Commonwealth, Secretariat of the Pacific Community,
United Nations, European Union, African Union, Arab League, ASEAN, and so
on.
