Nations without a Country

Anyone who can guess which flags these are?

They are all Nations without a Country.

Some hints: yes, there's Tibet, yes, there's Pays Basque.

But how about the other 10 flags?

left to right, top to bottom:

1. Scania (Skåne) - land of the Scanians
2. Kurdistan - land of the Kurds
3. Pays Basque - land of the Basques
4. Nunavut - land of the Inuit
5. Chechnya - land of the Chechens
6. Haven't got the foggiest. Anyone?
7. Romani - the flag of the Romani people (exonym: gypsies)
8. Friesland - land of the Frisians
9. Amazonas - land of the indigenous peoples of Venezuela
10. Sapmi - land of the Sami people in northern Scandinavia
11. Aborigine - the aborigine nation in Australia
12. Tibet - land of the Tibetans, occupied by China since 1950
