Thanks to HCP, Scott and KoopaDaQuick, we have even more new avatars today!

Egypt	South Africa	Palestine	Vatican City	South Korea	Wales	England	Northern Ireland
Malasyia	Canada - Yukon Territory	Canada - Northern Territory	Canada - Nunavut Territory	Pakistan	Czech Republic

I've started renaming some of the newer avatars to their actual country name, as using the ISO-2 country code can be confusing for people not familiar with them.

Beautiful! I think I technically made the Vatican City avatars, but HCP/Scott/Koopa all deserve instant promotion to Atlas Institution status for this massive effort!

Lourdes - good start, but needs to be crisper (they are too blurry), and smaller. Use the other avatars as a guide. Same font/color per each avatar party type, same general size, etc.

Which font do you use?

The letters are formed by arranging pixels manually; so D - IA, for example, would be

X X X X X                      X X X            X
   X         X                       X               X
   X            X                    X            X    X
   X            X                    X            X    X
   X            X      X X X      X         X          X
   X            X                    X         X X X X X
   X         X                       X      X               X
X X X X X                      X X X   X X          X X

You can use existing avatars as templates, I'm pretty sure we have one for each of the normal letters.

Can we just have uploadable avatars at this point? I mean, Dave's original intent with them is pretty much dead at this point imo

Honestly I think we can still save Dave's original intent by getting rid of the historical avatars. Everything else that has been uploaded is either an actual country (even Vatican City) or at least it can plausibly pass as one (Palestine, Taiwan)

Originalism is a cancer that must be eradicated.
