Missing flag - Ivory Coast

As watchers of the World Cup would've noted, the country to which you refer is officially known as Côte d'Ivoire (refer UN website & ISO 3166). Côte d'Ivoire is indeed the official "English" name of the country.

 

Just as we don't call Costa Rica "Rich Coast", we shouldn't call Côte d'Ivoire "Ivory Coast".

No, Ireland's flag is green, white and orange.

 

The National Flag is a tricolour of green, white and orange. The green represents the older Gaelic and Anglo-Norman element in the population, the orange the Protestant supporters of William of Orange, while the white represents a lasting peace between the two traditions.
