• When detailing a settlement, such as the birthplace of a notable person or the headquarters of an organisation, the county (if applicable) and constituent country of the UK should be stated.
• In cases where there is no applicable county, such as some unitary authorities, then the county should be omitted.
• Where it is required to display a flag representing the settlement, the flag of the constituent country should follow the Union Flag in accordance with standard flag-display rules.
