===Flag variants===
Flag variants are added to a country data template by the inclusion of one or more <tt>flag alias-''label''</tt> parameters, where each <tt>''label''</tt> is a unique identifier that is subsequently used as an input parameter to <tt><nowiki>{{flag|...}}</nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki>{{flagicon|...}}</nowiki></tt>, etc.  To document these flag variants, use the <tt>var''N''</tt> documentation parameters to identify each label.

For example, [[Template:Country data Seychelles]] identifies three flag variants (in addition to the current flag) with the following code:
<pre>
| flag alias-1976 = Flag of the Seychelles 1976.svg
| flag alias-1977 = Flag of the Seychelles 1977.svg
| flag alias-colonial = Government Ensign of the United Kingdom.svg
</pre>
These three variants are documented by the following code segment later in the template:
<pre>
&lt;noinclude&gt;
| var1 = 1976
| var2 = 1977
| var3 = colonial
...
&lt;/noinclude&gt;
</pre> 
Up to nine flag variants can be documented by this method (using <tt>var1</tt> to <tt>var9</tt>).  If more are present (and currently, only [[Template:Country data United States]] has more than nine flag variants), these can be listed on a separate documentation subpage as described below.

Note that you do ''not'' have to use a <tt>var''N''</tt> parameter for the standard optional variant label <tt>naval</tt> (used for the country's naval ensign).  If present, it will automatically be documented.
