Is it against ToS to have country based calling cards in my game?

I am working on a game that has a similar player card system similar to Call of Duty and I’m wondering if having calling cards with flags of some general countries could get me into trouble

National flags on their own shouldn’t be a problem, but flags pertaining to… certain country’s political/militarism parties with troubled pasts Roblox will moderate you for. Steer clear of references/depictions of real-life tragedies, war between/amongst countries included (i.e. don’t depict ally vs axis powers in WWII). Using a national flag in the context of war over country may be an issue, I’d advise contacting Roblox support about that, there aren’t any modern Roblox games I can think of that depict real-life flags in that context and there’s probably a reason or risk why.

My only issue with this is that there are a lot of games on Roblox which are set in a World War II setting, or involve use of country flags revolving around conflicts (albeit fictional in a strategy game setting). The ToS regarding political content is as follows:

Political Content
We value friendly debate about issues and topics that matter to Robloxians. However, to maintain a civil and respectful environment, we prohibit the discussion or depiction of:

  • Current candidates running for public office, including their slogans, campaign material, rallies, or events
  • Political parties, including official party-affiliated organization
  • Specific races for elected office
  • Sitting real-world elected officials
  • Previously-elected officials in their official capacity
  • Individuals who have previously run for political office in their capacity as candidates
  • Desecration of political entity symbols, including flag burning
  • Inflammatory content related to real world border, territorial, or jurisdictional relationships

So long as your game doesn’t refer to current political parties, historical or current leaders, recreations of real-life tragic events (but not fictitious, unspecified ones; e.g. Natural Disaster Survival), or purposeful depiction of destruction or defacing of national symbols (which these player cards hardly resemble, it seems to be just cosmetic), you should be okay.
