- Check the game's qualification note before choosing a country: National and state flags count, including birds in their coats of arms. Naval ensigns do not.

- Recorded source context: Its dove of peace survives from King Cakobau’s flag, used before British rule. Fiji: A dove of peace sits in the lower-left quarter of its shield.
