Hey @7994y

Great questions and welcome to the community!

The list is a parralell list meaning that each item in the flag list has a corresponding item in the countries list. This allows us to do work with concepts like “if the user is seeing the flag image from the #2 spot in the flag list, then the text he enters should match the country name from the #2 spot in the country list”
