You don't say why you are choosing to create a drawing (Draw) 
document rather than some other type. What else does the document 
contain, apart from the flag images? If this is text, you might 
prefer to create a text (Writer) document instead. Use a table or 
tables to lay your text document out. I think you will find that any 
image pasted into a table cell will be automatically scaled to fit 
the width of the cell, which achieves just what you require. Note 
that table borders can be adjusted so that they either show or not in 
different places; the table structure does not need to show at all in 
your finished document, if that is what you prefer.

Tables are described in Chapter 13 of the Writer Guide.

I trust this helps.
