What Is The Meaning Of Your Nation's Flag?

[Ankuran]

What is its Meaning? (colors/stripes/symbols)
The black is in remembrance of the revolutions (New Belgium from Belgium, and Ankuran from New Belgium). The red represents the strength and fortitude of the Ankuran people. The white is the continued peace and prosperity of Ankuran.

If your flag has symbols or insigniae, what do they represent?
The crossed key and spanner device represents the union of production and administration under the Ankuran people. The laurel represents the sovereignty and independence of Ankuran. The bottom-right section (with the fleur-d'etoile) is the original flag of the Ankuran revolution, featuring the common starlily, which would later become Ankuran's national flower and a symbol of Ankuran's sovereignty, independence, culture, and history.

Explain The Flag's Origin
The flag was selected as a winner in a public referendum and is based on the creator's fondness for strong socialist heraldry.

Who Designed it?
Francois Duvalier du Loc, outspoken socialist.

Is it Commemorating Someone Or Something?
No.

Does It Have More Than One Version? (old/new)
Yes.

In real life, how did you design it?
When I first signed up, I was scrolling through the available flags, and immediately fell in love with the flag of Angola. At the time, I'd never heard of Angola and knew nothing about it, but I loved their flag. The basic design was nailed down pretty quickly, mostly through trial and error and my fondness for socialist heraldry. The fleur-d'etoile was from another project. I ended up not using it in the other project, but liked it so much I decided to incorporate it into Ankuran's history and iconography. Eventually it came to also represent the common starlily, Ankuran's national flower.

[Sadakoyama]

What is its Meaning? (colors/stripes/symbols) The blue and white striped area represent a stormy sea, the dark and light grey stripes a stormy sky. They represent the constant inclement weather we experience, and in a less overt sense the tumultuous journey we endured to arrive and survive in our new land.
If your flag has symbols or insignias, what do they represent? The blue circle represents egalitarian equality; the red star, which evolved from a stylized fox head, represents intelligence and guile. Both symbols were the insignia of two underground science organizations that escaped persecution by resurgent religious authorities in an alternate 16th century England where the Church clamped down of the Enlightenment. The gold border represents the integrity and strength of Science uniting the two.
Explain The Flag's Origin It was designed by an art student in a contest in the early Sixties to replace a more ornate, excessive, and baroque design. It was... interesting. There were tentacles (one reason the flag is still referred to as "Old Squiddy").
Who Designed it? Petrovka Schillinger, a 19 year old graphic designer.
It Commemorating Someone Or Something? Just us.
Does It Have More Than One Version? (old/new) There was an old version (lost in time to a hard drive crash).

If your flag has symbols or insignias, what do they represent? The triskelion/mitsudomoe represents hope.
Explain The Flag's Origin As the tribes of Sufok crossed the see, as commanded by Tehom-El, they found the island of Fusan. The Fusanese people had been hit by a great tsunami that had inundated much of the island, and in the aftermath starvation and disease had taken hold. Despite their own deprivation, the Fusanese were kind hosts who did everything possible to provide succor to the tribes. As a result, Tehom-El spoke to Sufok the Wind and commanded him to invite them on the great journey. Sufok did so, and the council of mothers that ruled the Fusanese concurred, and so did they join the fleet and abandon Fusan. To honor them, Sufok added their symbol of hope to the banner of the tribes and took to wife Huna, the daughter of the Empress-Mother of the Fusanese.
Who Designed it? Sufok and Huna
It Commemorating Someone Or Something? See origin above.

[Minachia]

What is its Meaning? (colors/stripes/symbols): Red represents the Empire's military power and the nation's progress, white represents peace and purity, blue represents national unity and equality.
If your flag has symbols or insignias, what do they represent? The checkerboard has no official meaning, the cross represents Christianity, the wreath represents democracy, and the SPQCM is the abbreviation of Latin for "The Senate and People of Caero-Minachia."
Explain The Flag's Origin: Originally, the Kingdom of Minachia just flew the old Roman Empire's flag, but when it was united with Caerland it merged the Caerites' checkerboard onto the flag, though the lettering remained as the Roman SPQR due to the country thinking of itself as one of the successor states to the Roman Empire (the other being the Byzantine Empire). The blue cross was later added during the Empire's war with the Ottoman Empire. Finally, SPQR was changed to SPQCM as the people wanted to differentiate themselves from the Romans, though the government still uses an SPQR banner.
Who Designed it? Varying designers, though the original designers of the Minachian and Caerites flags are unknown.
It Commemorating Someone Or Something? Yes, the Roman Empire
Does It Have More Than One Version? (old/new) Yes, and there is a variant that doesn't have the Wreath and SPQCM. (I need to update my flag page, though)

The flag was created in 2048, when Head Minister Kaja Õismaa took up position in office, in order to replace the former flag of Atmovia, after years of opression under the former Rulers of Atmovia, Sten Põhi and then his son Evald. Head Minister Õismaa decided that since she was taking the nation in an entirely different, and much better, direction, that a new flag was in order.

Who Designed it?

There was a competition among the higher grades of the nations schools were students in their last year were able to submit designs, one design from each school was picked and sent in, and from there, 1 flag per county was picked, and then sent on to a final vote, to be decided by the Head Minister herself. The student who designed the flag would be transported to the capital to meet Õismaa herself.

The design was made by 17 year old Liisbet Jänes from the city of Väkta.

It Commemorating Someone Or Something?

It (kind of) commemorates the election of Kaja Õismaa as the new leader of Atmovia and the shift in a better direction towards a new era.

Does It Have More Than One Version? (old/new)

Yes, originally the blue bars of the flag were green, however, after a discussion between the flag designer, Liisbet Jänes and Head Minister Kaja Õismaa, blue was decided instead, as not only did it look more pleasing to the eye, they had decided that whilst green greatly symbolized the love for the environment, green is also symbolic of jealousy and greed for money.

Irl, I come from Estonia, and my nation here on NS is greatly inspired by my homeland, so I created my flag to be reminiscent of Estonia's own.
