Tekirlemmih's colour is a dark red and yellow, which are seen on the flag of Tekirlemmih and other national symbols. The dark red is oftenly seen different from the previous red color commonly used by other former nations while the yellow was chosen for more aesthetic reasons than symbolism.

The generally accepted national color is green, which is derived from the original flag of the Freeland Exploratory company that used a Gadsen variant on a green background. The green is variously said to symbolize prosperity, wealth, the green forests and hills of LFL when it was discovered, as well as the many species of snake which inhabit the country.

The "national" flag, includes green, white, yellow/gold, and black.

Black is color of anarchy, a stateless society. Yellow is the color of capitalism and markets, derived from the color of gold. The white of the snake on the flag symbolizes the purity and goodness of the Freedomlander way of life.

Postby The Peoples Dominion of Torjthistan » Mon Mar 20, 2017 11:48 pm

My new flag (enjoy the wall of text):
The national flag was changed on 3/21/2017 to mark the rejoining of Torjthistan and it's territory of Vrz-Xr. The original Vrz-Xr flag featured a green Chorgaldarj orb (the green color stood for the preservation of the natural environment) on the right with "G'drothdarj Friixuuzm" ("Freedom from world's oppressors") written inside in the ancient Torjthic pre-latin alphabet known as An'Gultorjiakh-Khalakht Script. The base color of the flag was purple, symbolizing new and progressive values and along the bottom and left side was a thin blue line, symbolizing the newly found freedoms and future hope for the Vrz-Xr people. The green Chorgaldarj orb with the Torjthic national motto was absorbed into the new flag, replacing the red Chorgaldarj orb being held by the Overlord's hand. The surrounding image of the hand has a base color of red, symbolizing the red light emanating from the original flag's orb. This is all surrounded by a circle of wheat, representing agriculture and with a small gear at the bottom representing industry. This image is the new Emblem for Torjthistan and sits in the center of the nation's new flag. The rest of the flag consists of the following:
A central black bar representing the black and fertile soil the government claims the nation has (despite the lack of actual arable land in the landmass).
Two red bars at the top and bottom of the flag representing the blood of those who died in the violent civil war that followed independence.
Three Hammer and Sickles going from top to bottom along the flag's lefthand side representing three stages of Torjthic government: The sacrifice of the working class in wartime, the sacrifice of the working class to a new economy, and the sacrifice of the government for the working class.
On the right side of the flag is a golden falcon atop a golden pillar. The falcon is not the national animal, but was worshiped in ancient times by the Jialouminzeqi, the largest sub-group of the Torjthic people and symbols of it can be found on most ancient Torjthic artifacts. The pillar of which the falcon is perched upon represents the constitution as written by the Overlord, "Ekkajan Durohgdizm" ("Pillar of Our Dominion"). The pillar has "Respect The Overlord" written in ancient An'Gultorjiakh-Khalakht script going down its length.

The original Torjthic flag represented the Overlord's hand holding The Chorgldarj of Wisdom (a floating red orb that radiates energy all across the world and is responsible for all life in the universe according to the religion invented by the Overlord in one of many efforts to subjugate the populace) on the left side, followed by two red lines surrounding a black line that represent the blood of those who died in the civil war which followed independence, the black soil on which can be grown crops (even though there isn't really very much arable land in Torjthistan), the rise of the proletariat on the right side (despite the fact that there is an enormous difference between the Elite and the general citizenry of the nation), and a large T in the top of the black line on the right standing for the name of the country and it's people.
Poverty-stricken, apocalyptic cesspool of nuclear waste, vast steppe and mountains being ruined by state-run industry, horrifying detention centers filled with innocent people, an insane religious cult centered on a sadistic dictator, mass public executions, nightmarish soviet-era industrial cities, and constant international tension and civil wars.

The colors of the Sauganash Union are blue, red, and white, with blue being the primary color.

This is due to its Yankee American heritage.
A nation founded in the early 1800s by Federalist immigrants from the United States. Has since developed an identity of its own and imperial ambitions. Now a neoliberal imperial power that justifies its aggression by putting it the name of tolerance and social justice.

Red: Symbolizes the revolution that created the current republic.
Orange: Symbolizes the sunrise, which in turn symbolizes the dawning of a new era of prosperity.
Blue: Heraldic experts disagree on what the blue means. Blue was the heraldic color of the Imperial House of Stanislav, but a republic wouldn't want to associate itself with the former monarchy. The general consensus is that the blue is meant to be a reminder of our past. Others believe it is meant to symbolize Pan-Slavic efforts or loyalty to the nation.

The cross symbolizes Christianity, as Lancov used to be an officially Christian nation. A small movement wants to replace the orange cross with an orange slash running from top left to bottom right as Lancov is now a secular state, and the bend was previously a common feature of Lancovian heraldry. (And a bend azure still appears in our Coat of Arms.)

Black represents the grim darkness of the Universe around us. White represents the light of the Word.

The cross in our banner represents the secular and the spiritual aspects of the Word, while the two-headed Aquila stands for a fusion of past and future, of birth and destruction, of the duality of everything, really.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

Our nation's flag's colors are orange, blue, and black.

The outer border of our flag is black, as well as the black X that crosses over the flag. The black symbolizes what happens when there is no patriotism in a country: absolute darkness. The black X will be discussed shortly.

Orange is what happens when there is far to much patriotism in a country. Orange has always been the main color of our country, so we used that to symbolize over-patriotism. When there is too much patriotism, the country can begin to get too cocky and destroy itself from within.

Finally, the blue oval in the center symbolizes the balance between patriotism and non-patriotism. A place where the nation is patriotic enough to love its country, but also use that love to realize where the nation's problems lie and to help fix them. You may notice that the black X comes to its intersection in the middle of the oval, and that is to symbolize that Stacramon is firmly planted in this balance.

Although the flag is blue and white (blue representing the ocean and the nobility, white representing peace and (spiritual) purity), Alizeria's national colours are actually emerald green and grey, representing the green pastures and grey skies common in the country - indeed the national anthem is "Land of Emerald and Grey".
