I created templates for the flags as some of the flags are similar. So having flag templates with a hover country name has helped me. I use the flags on most pages so the templates also made editing quicker. Other styling you can do with flag templates:
 * If the flags are not all the same size, you can standardize the size (Switzerland flag is square unlike other countries)
 * Set alignment (left/center/right) so do not have to repeat this everytime you use the flags
 * You are considering having a page for each country so the template can link to the page

My wikia is about Europe so my flag database does not include countries like USA and Japan, which feature in your wikia. So the first and biggest part of this is locating and loading the flags onto the wikia (I have used Tennis Wikia when I wanted actual flags). For easy identication, I named the flags as 3-letter abbreviation.

So a potential flag template could be :
 * Template name >> Template:USA flag
 * Flag image >>  File:USA flag.png 
 * Flag size >> the flags on my wikia are 18px wide
 * Alignment >> center
 * Hover name >> citizen of USA
 * Link to wikia page >> United States
