This thread hasn't been posted in for a while, so I'll submit a pretty old flag I made back in 2014 I thought of this again when I was strolling through the Map thread, saw Krall's submission for the Pilgrimage MotF, and then saw some of the comments on Krall's deviantart submission

The Five Kingdoms of Fennoscandia, from a timeline I plan on writing in which Finland managed to unite a good long time in the past and then manages to get Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and (eventually) Iceland under its thumb. Starts out as a de facto Finnish Empire then later on in its history becomes more of a political union, though with the Finnish King (or rather King of Kings) still technically at the head. I am most certainly not a vexillologist and this is more of a 'work in progress' type thing than anything, but it's all I've got so far.

Not bad, I get what you're going for, but I feel this flag's main failing is the lack of a clear focus. The coat of arms and each cross are focal points which draw the viewer's eye, but because they're so numerous and spread out it makes the flag look busy and confused. That's generally what happens when you try to make a flag giving numerous different countries equal representation - you might try representing each country more abstractly, as a colour rather than a full symbol, perhaps.

Good advice, I'll think on that when I actually finish the dang flag.

Sorry it's a bit shit. So we've elections upcoming here in NI, and a fella I know suggested that I'd make a good dictator since I can't do a worse job then the current shower of bastards. So I made this, my new personal sigil and potential fleg Todanistan; the Black Gold Fleg. It's no Blutfahne but I do love Guinness.

I've fallen in with a bunch of dirty anarchists, so here's a Communalist/Democratic Confederalist Irish flag for the new movement we're apparently founding. I like it, dk what the rest of them think though. I can always break away and found my own movement.

The green and red are rather eye-wateringly bright against the dark blue. What's the leaf for? It's not a symbol of Ireland or anarchism that I'm familiar with.

It's not a symbol of Ireland or anarchism that I'm familiar with. Well we'd decided to use a blue because of St Patrick's blue, the traditional Irish colour before green was adopted on the 19th century. I might mess around with that and the green a bit and see if it looks any better. The leaf is from the Democratic Confederalist Union of America. The others liked the leaf so I decided to work it around the Irish Starry Plough. edit: Took Krall's advice.

Along with the title Emperor of the French, Napoleone di Buoanaparte (or one of his descendants) also adopts the titles King of Corsica and Lord of Elba. The Imperial Eagle bears the arms of House Buoanaparte: gules two bends sinister between two mullets or.

I have always wondered at how successful Napoleon could be if he'd stuck to creating a Mediterranean statelet after being shunted off to Elba. The Brits would obviously be a hindrance on many potential naval activities, which would already feel rather awkward for a land-based tactician like himself.

Probably not very - Elba's rather small, so there's not much significant he could do with it, and it'd immediately be returned to Tuscany upon his death so the statelet would end with him.

Guess I was specifically wondering if the addition of a more nationalist Corsica could have prolonged its existence any. Buuut let's move on, shall we? VoilĂ : the Commonwealth Realm of Belize (formerly British Honduras), featuring the ever-marketable Zodiac of the Mayan Calendar! (I blame Total War for this one.)

A very basic reunited Ireland flag. This is of course the usual tricolour colour scheme, however with the St Patricks Cross/\Fiztgerald coat of arms included to try and provide a more neutral All Ireland image to appease Unionists. This of course is based off of the proposed "Celtic Union" flag, a political union between Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.

This past long weekend we visited Historic Fort Malden in Amherstburg, Ontario and I found a flag I had not seen before. It was a recreation of one flown from the schooner Anne during one of the failed invasions of Upper Canada during the rebellions of 1837-38. So, naturally I made an image of it. It was for the "Republic of Canada" and the two stars represented Upper and Lower Canada and the crescent moon represented the secret network of Hunters Lodges in Upper Canada and the nearby American States that were formed to support the rebellion. I think that had they been successful they would have joined the USA fairly soon, at least Upper Canada. What do you think?

Certainly some interesting symbolism there, even if the flag is just the French tricolour otherwise.
