http://everything2.com/e2node/Flags of the world on your Rubik's Cube

Once you've figured out how to solve a Rubik's Cube, you may be left wondering what to do with it. Why not
practice your Rubik's Cube manipulation and your geography lessons at the same time ? Here is a collection of
flags of the world on virtual Rubik’s cubes. You can practice with these virtual cubes using CubeTwister.

Algorithms are given for each flag in the list and can be used to twist the Rubik’s Cube. These have been tested
and are OK. Note that shorter algorithms may also exist that will do the job. Most examples are given for the
3x3x3 Rubik’s cube but a there are also a few examples given for the 2x2x2 and 7x7x7 cubes.
