Add Rank Nation

Description
Adds the insignia for the XCOM Ranks to the National flags. Why? As I played through my game I came to understand that each soldier's nationality is nothing but a gimick. So I decided to use it to address an issue I found with all the soldiers in the game: they do not wear their rank.

SEE THE DISCUSSION TAB FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO:
- Set all recruits to be from the nation of Rookies
- Activate the Commander Rank flag
- Set all nation UI Flags to be the XCOM icon

WHAT THIS MOD DOES:
Adds the National Flags for Rookies, Squaddies, Corporals, Sergeants, Leiutenants, Captains, Majors, Colonels, Initiates, Acolytes, Disciples, Mystics, Warlocks and Magus to the game.
These Nations are not weighted, so you should not see any of them generated within your recruits or character pool.

WHAT THIS MOD DOES NOT DO:
Automatically change the flags to the correct rank. Sorry. No idea how to do that. If someone tells me I'll impliment it.

THANKS TO:
Volman for his video tutorial on creating custom countries.

@Captain Lurmey, I believe I took in-game screen shots and then used Photoshop to vector them.
@shavy, no.

Where do you find the image files for the ranks? I'm trying to add them to a mod for myself in another game but I can't seem to find the Rookie icon anywhere online...

Diabloshift, I have added the Commander rank to the flag selections, but because this rank is not attainable by normal units, I have made it as an optional extra. Please see the How To Activate the Commander Rank discussion. The icon looks a little different because it was a complete pain in the ass to re-draw.

For everyone who has tweaked this mod already, I appologise, but the recent update will have reverted your tweaks back to the original settings. You'll need to tweak again.

Diabloshift, is it that one with the skull infront of the wreath with three stars on the skull's crown? The game has that icon named rank_fieldmarshall, but I read that it was unused. If that's not the image, could you take a screenshot of it form me? I'll be able to find it in the game's files that way.

There's a special icon for the Commander's Avatar . Can you add that one as well as a flag?

Been looking for a mod like this since day one, thank you. On a side note could you point me to that tutorial by Voleman, I'd like to do this but with the U.S. Marine Ranks, unless you'd like to take on the job. :) Once again great mod idea.
