[Q] Hindu Swastika on a flag?

Postby Raktadweep » Sun May 07, 2023 2:38 pm

So I haven't used Nationstates in over a decade, and all the answers I can find on this are from 8-9 years ago. I just wanted to ask:
The country I'm playing as a Hindu theocracy; I was wondering whether or not the usage of a svastika in its original Hindu-related context is fine on my nation's flag (or really any other symbology related to it).

I may be wrong, but I’m almost 100% sure that the rules is just no Swatskas, period regardless of your intention with it. Again, I may be wrong so don’t quote me on this.
A Authoritarian Empire ruled by a corrupt royal family that believes them and there species are the best creatures in the universe.

I've seen a Hindu nation with a Swastika on their flag (who has also explicitly stated they are not a Nazi, and that the symbol is an ancient Hindu cultural symbol) before around here, so I believe that it is possible. That is, unless the site rules have become more strict regarding this matter since then.
