Enigmarch 2025, Day 12: FLAG

Some day I will learn that I am not a graphic artist. Image editing is not my strong suit. Serious thanks go out to the authors and maintainers of Python's PIL package, which has been so, so useful in making all these images.

[EDIT: But only as useful as my ability to correctly do the math to place things in images. A previous version of this puzzle had the wrong images; if you're seeing five gray rectangles that are not all the same size, reload.]

False Flags

Please note that your puzzle has been hand-crafted in small batches. A natural amount of variation may occur in subtle shading, size, and aspect ratio. These mark your images as your own unique puzzle and should not distract you from solving.

At least the flags are well-organized. If it helps, the first letters of the 40 countries represented can be rearranged to spell the otherwise utterly irrelevant phrase "BOMBING? STUMPED? CHECK BACK: FLAGS CAN CLUB BLIMP".
