I never meant for it to be two flags per city. I drew my mock-up on top 
of an in-game screenshot, thats why it had reduntant city info. Check 
the cleaned-up screenshot, the city information that was outside the 
city rectangle was "left-overs" from the current method of showing it, 
not something I wanted to have in addition to the info rectangle.

What do you mean by city icon? the city gfx itself? Could you make a 
mock-up of what you propose, I have a hard time picturing what you 
propose.
