The Flags

In _Wealth of Nations_ each of the 4, 5, or 6 players is identified on the board by flag shaped tokens. Instead of the usual solid color approach, (six) distinctive designs were devised; these are distributed as wavy-deformed rectangles, intended to be fitted to a small stick: see here. (But some players seem to prefer them as tents: see here and here.

The chosen designs are remarkably flag-like, and even vexillographically interesting (unlike other such designs); I'm almost sure that the game art designer attempted to come up with something flaggish and match of a real-world flag is coincidental.

There are 6×6×3=108 flag tokens in each game box. I do not own this game and never played it, so I'm not sure, but seems to me that these designs are purely semaphoric, and no pre-composed set of special abilities of rules apply to any of them. Therefore, I can only refer to them by summary description:
