Scrape and download wikipedia's country flags from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sovereign-state_flags (and other pages) using nodejs. Most of Wikipedia's country flags are stored as SVG, so they can be scaled. Their width is stored in the flag's URL, so this can be changed to download whatever size of a flag you'd like.
