This is because my nation is a part of roleplay from another forum, which featured a map of the Caspian and Black Seas region, and my country was put in the same place Trebizond was. I decided to use that as a motif for my nation.

I'm a distant descendant of the Komnenos family.

My own flag is the Scottish flag, chosen because I'm a Scot.

My flag is of Diesta's leader, Draconis. (Darth Nihilus from KotOR)

He has empty black eyes which signify being detached and a twisted mask symbolizing dispair and agony. The eyes are always watching, ever calculating, and most of all cold.

My nation was born into The East Pacific. The badge for TEP and East Germany are very similar therefore I thought it would be a good fit.

Mine is an AKM, the weapon that almost single handedly defeated the Southern Survivalists, and gained my nation soverignity.
The flag is to honour the AKM, and serve as a reminder to my nation's people that something given has no basis in value. When you vote, you are exercising political authority, you're using force. And force is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.

And also to remind that service guarantees citizenship ;)

I'm sickly obsessed with the color teal so that's where that came from. Black and white make the teal stand out more so I used them. The moon is kinda personal to me because it's my birth "planet" for those into Astrology. The rest of it I just designed with no real thought in my head. I wanted stars on it but I decided that my stars needed to be different. The spiral is to represent the spiral goddess.

Well, my original flag was just the symbols of Brandenburg and Saxony combined, but it looked like crap so I just made this new one. Placed the Brandenburg eagle over the Saxony whatever-its-called, and then made the Nordic cross (thinned it down some because it looked bulky) with a red background because it looked cool. I'm not that big on symbols.

My flag was made for me by Tsaraine. I wish I could remember the heraldic significance of the colors, but I'm not positive. Pretty sure the gold has to do with wealth and my nation's hyper-capitalistic ways. The symbol in the upper left is, of course, the Yellow Sign; Lovecraftian themes have been important in various aspects of my nation's personality. The George's Cross is because, technically, my nation is a Protectorate of another nation, which used the Cross as its flag (until it received a similar redesign by Tsaraine).
Now the stars they are all angled wrong,
And the sun and the moon refuse to burn.
But I remember a message,
In a demon's hand:
"Dread the passage of Jesus, for he does not return."

-Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Time Jesum Transeuntum Et Non Riverentum"

The red, white, and blue on my flag symbolize the same thing they do on any other flag. I forgot what they symbol those colors are in is supposed to mean. The gray means nothing, I just thought it complemented the other colors better than white. The three stars will eventually gain a meaning but I haven't thought of one yet, lol.

Pac-man eating the sun. The awesomeness speaks for itself.

Was part of a larger image from Photoshop Phriday some years ago that was begging to be made into a flag.

If your talking about the tricolour, it means revolution.

The Union Flag doesn't stand for that, though.

It made the most amount of sense. I had to make it myself, a google image search for 'name tag' revealed nothing useful.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
