In Photoshop (please don't insist on Illustrator or other software), I can use actions and create batches with variables etc. But this one is quite tricky for me.

Let's say there is an image file I need to create which will have a flag image from the root folder (e.g. USA_FLAG.PNG) and text near it that will be allocated in a Text box (e.g. "United States of America").

Set variable for each layer, then import your .txt file.
Finally File > Export > Generate graphics using data sets.

See example below:
