Hi, 

The code for getting IP address is implemented here

\Magento\Framework\HTTP\PhpEnvironment\RemoteAddress on getRemoteAddress() method.

After getting the IP address using this, you can make a curl call to http://freegeoip.net/ website as JSON format. you will get the country name. 

And for adding flags, you can use class names for the HTML tag to show each flag based on each country. More info on making a call is described here.
