I also really like the seal. Very nice design.
Sadly its not of my own design, its from communist Afghanistan lol. Its a placeholder while I come up with my own, which will probably be pretty similar-
Another military question because we're getting off topic: given that having officers selected by vote wouldn't produce the best results, would giving ever person in the military equal/ no pay have that many negative effects in a total communist state? I'm trying to keep the idea of total equality and classless society-
What I did in my original NationState, which was very very Socialist, was give everyone the same stipend which they'd be entitled to from birth to death, so it functioned also as child support from the State and as retirement. Then small modifications to the stipend were granted depending on their job, the level of hazard, etc, their place in the state's meritocracy ranking system ... but they were very minor, everybody received a "Living Wage" level stipend.
You can also do as the Soviets did originally and abolish traditional military ranks in favor of titles / appointments ... i.e. "BatCom" (Battalion Commander) instead of Major, etc. And in an army like yours, i would definitely have at least everything up to Company commander be an elective position. The Soviets elected their officers originally too I believe.
