Hmm, well thats the current Mongolian flag;
http://fotw.digibel.be/flags/mn.html
has some historical flags (still this century though)
which are more like the freeciv version  (with the symbol
dark blue -- Ah, it seems _all_ the the transparent 
parts correspond to dark blue, eg, including the central 
symbol on the Indian flag.)

Unfortunately I think ancient cultures didn't all have
nice official modern-day style flags :-7

Of course these flag web sites have restrictive
copyrights, but I guess that doesn't stop you looking 
at their images and then drawing your own.

Agreed.  The Engels tiles already does this.
