Ko-oren chooses a new flag

[Ko-oren]

Ko-orenite Ministry of Miscellaneous Affairs (MiMi for short)

Ko-oren's flag design is based of its very first edition, when the nation was founded as a democratic-socialist nation. Since then, Ko-oren has seen many reforms. Together with our state reforms to a meritocratic nation, Ko-oren seeks a new flag. A national design competition yielded five contestants, now it is to the international community to choose our new flag.

You may vote for two designs, you may state your remarks to the designs, you may even design something yourself!

Candidate 1:


Candidate 2:


Candidate 3:


Candidate 4:


Candidate 5:

[Ko-oren]

Bump: flag 5 is in the lead, closely followed by 1 and 3.

[Ko-oren]

Last bump (I guess). Nothing's changed, the differences are just bigger than yesterday

We support candidate 1, and candidate 5.
However, we do not feel that either of them are sufficiently good to be a national flag.
Unfortunately we lack information about your nation, so we cannot produce our own suggestion.

OOC: I wanted a factbook so that I could have an indication of your nation's culture. It would be unfitting to give an India-based nation a Nordic cross for a flag, for example. Even if your factbook is under construction you should have a link to it in your signature.
