Nice idea indeed! But I don't like the aspect of defeating countries... how about you get a flag if you just play against someone from that country; no matter if you win or loose. Maybe I'm just too political correct but then again I want some flags too, lol.
Development Idea: Flags of the World Challenge
There might be some mileage in these threads:

Hello All,
Idea: A new feature for Chess.com, "Flags of the World Challenge".
The challenge is to defeat a player from all the membership countries. Have a page with highlighted flags that you have defeated.
Competitions, membership prizes etc.
Opt in/ opt out, so smaller countries are not swamped with challenges.
What do you think?
