[Q] Can you recover flags of CTE nations?

[Jwifjsjriize]

16 of my nations CTEd. I am going to revive them, but I don't have their flags currently saved; are CTE nation flags saved anywhere?

As far as I understand it, no. They're saved on cards (if they were around that long?), but I don't think you can copy the whole flag over from them(Just a sliver displayed on the card), plus the flag would then look like a card.
TL:DR
No, unless they were in a factbook.

You can get the full flag if you know your way around Inspect Mode in your browser.

Opening the link will bring you to the fullsize flag.

If it wasn't on a card, you could try the Wayback Machine as sometimes they grab the flags.

edit: you could also check to see if a cached version of the page is still available by prepending 'cache:' to the url of the nation page like this:

Code: Select all

cache:https://www.nationstates.net/nation=luna_amore

Additionally, if you used a default (i.e IRL country) flag that would be saved.

I have tried wayback machine before posting the thread (I'm Jwifjsjriize) but not saved. Quite weird considering some nations were around for almost 2 years. For most I should be able to recover the flag online, but the Jwifjsjriize is my only concern because I had made that one custom.

Thanks for all the help.
