super nit: the flag used for China before 1949 is incorrect. The PRC (People's Republic of China) didn't rule China until 1949. From 1912-1949 the flag of ROC (Republic of China) should be used.

Historically inaccurate flags are used for the Soviet Union, Germany pre-1949, and Libya as well. It seems the creator chose to use the modern flag in all cases for consistency.
