To give a counter example - are the millions of children in the United States
that speak Spanish at home really going to know to look for a flag of
*Spain* if they're already too young to know the word Spanish (or Español,
which the UI doesn't even offer)?  For the overwhelming majority of them,
they're not going to identify with Spain as a nation.

It's just not a good UI to use flags for this.
