When you use the existing flags they are quite small, maybe 2 inches wide, but when you use a custom flag it is much larger, at least 5 inches across. It shouldn't be an issue to make them the same size, so I wonder if this was by design and if so, why?

When NationStates began in 2002, the average monitor was 800x600 pixels, which meant the standard flags took up a reasonable amount of space. As monitors have increased in resolution, the flags occupy less of the screen. They're now smaller than ideal, but no-one has gotten around to recreating them all. We have increased the size limits on custom flags, though, since that's easier to do.

Please confirm if it works in IE.
I recently did some mods to the .htaccess file to allow links to image description pages, so hit Command+Shift+R if it doesn't work the first time.
