Country Codes, and Language Codes are completely separate things.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes Is the standard for Language Codes.

To be a bit more Correct Technically the "Alpha 2" such ash EN/RU are technically obsolete 639-2/3 Would be more appropriate. However Language Packs are in a sense different than country's you could use any code you wanted, it just requires fixing the "master" coder of the main pack (folder name) I think decides it?

As well if not having a "en" flag is a problem you can always add it yourself. Which it makes more sense to choose which one you want, since just making language en/"En"gland flag correlation doesn't make sense for everyone, some may choose US, some GB

Countries needed to be updated, do to names. Changes in flags, Creation of New Countries, etc. But to prevent ourselves from being accused of any problems with political issues that exist about the state/independence of some countries its best for us to just stick to ISO standards and remain neutral about it.

But I can't possibly see what "big" consequences this could cause?

I mean, the international code for language English is EN, russian is RU.

And we need to check all code, also for plugins, because they use EN instead of GB.
So we need this way to translate EN to GB if we need a flag for the language English.

I guess this has big consequences.

This way we're also missing Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland

The lists are used by the ISO standards however, they do need to be updated.
http://www.iso.org/iso/iso3166_en_code_lists.txt

Which need to be updated to that but I haven't gotten around to it. As well as a check on all the flags need to be done

And I feel up to it today so I guess i'll try to start it. Though there will clearly have to be a SQL patch to likely to auto-update some users.

Added 3 hours 49 minutes later:

Ok, The Trunk has now been updated to ISO 3166-1 Standards, As well as new PNG icons. And all Flags are updated and or fixed where appropriate.

\images\flags\f-en.gif

This is not the flag for English.
It is the flag for England and not for Great-Brittan.

It is better for the flag of GB, it is more common used.

It is wrong in last version and in TRUNK
