The blue represents honesty and unity, the white represents purity and pride; the five stars represent the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Gaulois Empire, and the Ruridovan Empire.
Республіка Рюрідова - Королівство Вілкія
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited me in; I needed clothes and you clothed me; I was sick and you looked after me; I was in prison and you came to visit me... Truly, whatever you did for one of the least of my brothers and sisters, you did for me."
- the Gospel of Matthew, 25:35-40

No one really knows. It's just what is painted on the side of the Naranbaatar.

Blue stands for nationalism and pride, white for white supremacy, and red for the blood of those who lost their lives in the Byburn Revolution of 2000.

The black represents the Saraxian Void beneath the world as stated in the book of the cycle a key part of one of our religions Lunnaria cai and from the book of Sarah in another of our key religions Solaris Cai. So basically it represents the religious side of Trentica.

The red of the flag represents the Trentican sky when the sun rises. Symbolising a new dawn for the founders of trentica after they stumbled upon this island after leaving ports in the Netherlands and England.

The White cross represents the unity between the English and Dutch settlers when they set aside their differences and instead of being the british colony of Trent Stone or The Dutch colony of Nieuwe Dageraad they became The Queendom of Trentica.

Finally the orange rose is the symbol of the Kainan royal family. The first royal family with ties to both Britain and the Netherlands. so they took the Tudor Rose and the colour orange (the colour of the Netherlands) putting them together to show both sides of the royal heritage.

The Official flag of The Unified Crown:

BLACK: Represents our black history, we were conquered, we were enslaved, we were slaughtered and forcefully converted. We were forced to live in small ghettos, with no food or sanitary conditions. Many died of disease and many were slaves, working for the army that kills their brothers.

RED: Represents the connection between all of the K'handimi people, between the nation and the men, it's an oath bound by blood, to always keep loyal no matter the situation. We have a word for that - Maanir - Honor and respect.

GREEN: Represents our connection to the holy land of K'handimi, to Sarenji and Manshour. No matter what, we will not leave this country, because it is ours, no matter who took it.

Golden Symbol - Represents the Royal Family and Royal Tradition, that took place even in the oldest of K'handimi kingdoms
Connection between the K'handimi to the king and to the rule.

Blue - Blue stands for the sea. It's the place where Merlantis is based.
Gold - Gold stands for riches and eternal wealth and happiness.

The symbol, of course, is the trident. It's the official symbol of Merlantis and symbolizes both strength and united wisdom.

The stars represents the several districts within Merlantis.

Red for the blood of the people. Black is the origin of everything, the continent the origin of man, the gold star (Kigali) where the reclamation of former glory began, green for what the land gives back to the people.

II) Our love of (preferably marital) intercourse---despite our moralistic tendencies
III) How naughty some of our jokes can get---again despite our moralistic tendencies
IV) The original designer of our flag---From the nation of Ifreann
V) The fact that (premarital) intercourse is an often-taboo subject unless under exceptional circumstances
