The Geldrian Confederal Government is pleased to inform you about the meaning of our flag.

Image

The flag of Geldria is essentially a banner of arms, i.e. a square flag bearing the coat of arms of the Geldrian Confederacy, precisely as upon a shield but in a square. The lion was taken from the coat of arms of Guelders, the duchy which was the predecessor state of the Geldrian Confederacy. However, the lion now faces the other way, to symbolise that the people fought for their independence and are now free from foreign powers and are creating their own future. The blue colour was chosen because of the many rivers, which divide Geldria in four Quarters and which have so often threatened it with floodings. At the same time, the rivers provide fish and make the soil fertile. The blue colour also has a religious meaning, standing for joy in the spirit, faith and hope.

On behalf of the entire Confederal Council,
Frederik van Rossem
Confederal Councillor (Home Affairs)
The people of the four sovereign Quarters of Geldria, united through the present Union, to wit: the Quarter of Nijmegen, the Quarter of Zutphen, the Quarter of Roermond and the Quarter of Veluwe, together constitute the GELDRIAN CONFEDERACY. (article 1 of the Confederal Constitution)

Dark red stripes: The dried blood of all who have crossed us in the past.
Black stripes: The ocean surrounding the island, which is dark, cold, and full of oil also.
Bright red stripes: The fertile soil of the island’s shores.
White stripe: The unconquerable will to live of the nation’s people in the face of adversity.

The flag depicts our ruler, Princess Jasmine. It is tradition in our nation for our leader to grace the flag.
We are NOT a theocracy
We are a PMT Middle Eastern nation ruled by Princess Jasmine. (Don't ask how we're a Queendom) Our national population is 22 million and our official religion is Islam. Contrary to belief, we are much more liberal than most other Middle Eastern nations.

The flag of the ASR is a black eagle with a shield on it's chest with a vertical line. It is on top of a red field and below is the
name Arstotzka in Arstotzkan (Russian). The red field represents socialism, the eagle represents power and it's shield means defense.
The word below as stated only means Arstotzka.

The meaning of Fossa-san's flag is defined in the Flag Act as:
Black represents the people, White represents peace, Orange represents the land and democracy, gray represents neutrality, and brown represents wisdom. The triangle shall be used as a symbol for the nation going foward.

My turn!
The red of the background represents all the blood or nation gave to reach the point we are today.
The yellow diamond with the blue circle is a reminder of our roots as Brazilian states, and a tribute to their help towards us after the independence. The green stripes represent our vast flora and fauna. The blue stripes represent the Atlantic Ocean and Baltic Sea, where our coasts are located, and the stars represent the states: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Denmark, Latvia and Estonia, our victorious wars: The Independence War, The coup of 1950 and WW3; the final star represents the emperor, who has and will forever serve the nation dearly.

The Flag of the Greek Senate-called the Hellenipano-represents at the center the famous Greek Trireme, a vital member of the famous Senatorial Navy, with the light blue color representing Greek culture, and the copper lines representing the great lengths of land in the Hegemony.

The current flag has the national seal in the center. The head in the seal represents the founder of the Hegemony, the outer ring representing Greek and Hellenic cultures, the left olive branch representing wine, and the right one representing order. The pillars represent the Senate and the Hegemon-the pillars of society, and the blue background representing the blue skies above the Hegemony's lands.

The two black bars(top and bottom) represent the void, it's vastness, it's absolute and utter, darkness.
The white bar represents the light that the Union brings to species completely lost in the void, it represents uplifting.
The circle(outer black part) represents a Dyson shpere, something extremely common in the Union, the small white part represents the star itself.
The clamp emblem represents the Union's rule over the planet which it evelops.
I felt like going on a power trip, and thought to myself "Hey Ell, what nation/faction would be possibly the most overpowered one you could create?" And somewhere in my head the name "The Combine" screamed.

The blue represents the vast seas that surround the Folhavahi archipelago, while the three stars represent the three atolls of Mahiladū, Maradhoo, and Maliku. The green represents Islam and the red represents those who died during the massacres committed by the Maldivian government during the struggle for independence. The white represents the purity of the people and the Islamic religion while the crescent is also a symbol of the Islamic faith.

The Laurel Wreath represents Peace and Prosperity. The Two-Headed eagle was originally a common heraldry symbol but now represents strength and the fact that nation is the successor to both Greece and Rome. the symbol in the center represents Order. Finally, the star at the top represents National Unity and Freedom.
Partially inspired by the Third Odyssey mod for EU4, this nation is essentially a Byzantine successor state in South America that has fused together Ancient Greek Religion with Greek Orthodox Christianity. It mixes the aesthetic of Byzantium and Ancient Greece, with very open and liberal social values but with an Imperial Monarchy. NS stats are referenced but are not strictly followed to a T.
