jno. Scotland would be in a different circle to England and Wales as it has its own legal system, education system and church.

Fair-Stumped, thanks, that makes sense, as far as anything in this area does. I suppose you could also have smaller circles denoting different parliaments/assemblies.

Supapa, this comes from Wikipedia:

"Wales had no explicit recognition in the Union Flag as it had been a part of the Kingdom of England since being annexed by Edward I of England in 1282 and its full integration by the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542, and was therefore represented by the flag of England."

I'm half Welsh myself, but it is a fact that Wales is still part of GB and the UK, although they have their own flag.
