Wizard Flags

Sarah - as far as I'm aware there is nothing mentioned, but it'd 
probably be cool with dragons and stuff.  Christian has a link to the 
Spitsbergen / Svalbard-ese (sp ?) flag which I'll bug him to give 
you, that one's pretty cool.

The wizarding flag in Time of Trial was depicted as follows: 

"On the left hung the flag of the International Confederation of 
Wizards; a red background, with sixteen yellow stars, representing 
the sixteen founder nations, ranged in a circle around the world, 
representing all the others.  On the right hung the Union Jack."

I know that isn't much help, but I thought I'd point it out.  I'm 
also aware this is clearly a flag that was designed by committee, as 
an obvious symbol - in the same vein as the UN flag or the NATO flag 
or the Commonwealth flag, and as such doesn't sport a design that can 
be said to have evolved naturally over time (inasmuch as flags are 
subject to Darwinism ... which they aren't :D ).  If flags for 
wizarding countries do exist - in tandem with national flags perhaps, 
I suspect they'd be very ornate creations, with lots of pictures and 
symbols on them - in complicated designs - nothing like a standard 
Muggle tricolour.
