Green represents nature, specifically the Pampas. Red stands for our revolutionary spirit and the courage of the Piratinese. Yellow represents the riches of our land. In the middle stands our coat of arms.

The colour blue represents the sky.
Yellow, the sun.
The symbol represents the crown of a yurt, representing home and the traditional nomadic way of life which is still lived by many in Yavakhstan.

The Mobian flag is a vertical tricolour that has its origins in the Revolutions of 1848. Indeed, the vertical lines are based off the French flag. Yellow represents freedom and peace, white represents unity, and red represents the patriotic valour of the Mobian peoples. The escutcheon in the middle represents the House of McCloud, the ruling family.
"The Knothole Accords was the legal birth of Mobius, the Lavender Revolution was the spiritual birth of Mobius." - Angela Berngau, PDP MC from Valio

Our Tricolour flag symbolizes national independence, the natural beauty of our country, and democratic republican values. Green represents the nation's fields, forests, and natural resources. White represents peace, clouds, and forward-looking ideals. Blue represents the sky, the Pacific Ocean and the myriad of rivers across the continent. The Red Star represents Democratic Socialism, along with the leading classes of the revolution (workers, peasants, intellectuals, youth, and soldiers). The colour red symbolizes the struggle for freedom, democracy and peace and sacrifice made during the nation's revolution.

The crest is read from the inside out. The symbol for unity is white- an agnostic color- ensconced in dark blue, the traditional color of the Xanthalian democratic movement. Purple blends the red and blue colors associated with socialist and capitalist factions, which creates prosperity, represented by gold. The arrangement is meant to evoke alignment and symmetry while drawing the eye back and forth across each as a distinct idea. The ribbon uses the same color scheme and represents the complex cultural identities of the nations which make up the Federation, woven together in a coherent and beautiful pattern. Taken as a whole, the flag should preserve the perception of contrast and still conjure a sense of amity and balance.

Incidentally, black is not a required part of the design; originally it was simply a neutral color to place the crest and ribbon against (chosen over white to allow the unity symbol to "pop" more in the crest and to better define the gold). The crest and ribbon can each be "properly" displayed- alone or together- on any background. Over time, however, many have come to consider black as part of the symbolism of the flag: the space which surrounds the worlds of the Federation, or the void against which the values represented in the emblems are given meaning. As a result it's rare to see other colors chosen as a background except to defy expectation or make a statement, but it's not uncommon to see the background omitted entirely when the symbols are printed on an existing surface, especially if depicted alone or in different orientations.

The flag itself only depicts a sunrise on the sea. Most of you don't know this but the flag is actually one of the flags designed and used by secessionist of Goetland/Uesia/Nguyuit (Wu Chinese-speaking region, including Shanghai, Zhejiang, south Jiangsu, south Anhui, and northeast Jiangxi; its English name, like its flag, is not determined yet). The flag shows our connection with the East Sea and our hope to be independent from China (when the sun rises, the stars will disappear).
All information I can find is either in Mandarin or in Wu Chinese, so I'm not going to post any links here.

The Flag of Kedri has a blue field, which represents the nation's nautical heritage, the fact that it is an archipelago surrounded by ocean, and it also stands for liberty.

The wh te waves stand for peace. The black ship emphasizes Kedri's defense force and how it will not give in for what believes. The yellow star stands for prosperity and greatness.
Kedri is a nation of 18th century pirates who know water-bending. Throw in some steampunk, as well. Tech level is PT/FanT.
Kedrians abandon piracy and become a modernized country, founded by reformed criminals who forsook piracy and the citizens are descended from pirates, and still retain some of their heritage such as speech, accent, politics.

I picked the blue and gold on my flag because I originally liked those colors as a kid (I was 12 when I made the first one.) The pirate skull in my nation's canon deals with the state's current constitution, based off the Pirate's Code of Conduct, and recent revolt against the previous authoritarian administration.

Red is the color of socialist revolution. The white stripe represents the Milky Way as seen in the night sky. The crescent and the space station represent progress and space colonialism, and they are intentionally arranged like the hammer and sickle as the representation of an ideal communist society.

Postby Kashimura » Sat Jun 13, 2020 2:35 am

The flag of both our city-state, Kashimura, and of our realm, the Yomese Empire, are the Blood Moon of the Demon Lord Ninetails, founder from our classical era. The visage of nine tails raked across the moon in the night sky is the crest of the royal family.
Also present on NS are two of our subject city-states, Volkovgorod and Maochengshi.
The Volkovian state flag features the black of the night sky as well as a red crescent moon, an homage to the Kashimuran flag, though the black was also chosen to contrast the other colors. The white wolf represents Mother Amaterasu, but moreso the proud Volkovian people. It howls proudly for every reason a wolf howls: it is a rallying cry, a call to hunt, a declaration of sovereignty (even as part of the empire), and a guiding voice for the wayward. The gold stripe is a symbol of power, but was also added to increase the flag’s visibility.
The flag of Maochengshi has a golden hoist as a sign of prosperity, and a white paw overlaid on it as a sign of purity. Beyond that is the red field representing the blood and power of the people. The most notable feature is the white nekomata mid-pounce. It is white like the White Tiger of the West, a sign of a virtuous dynasty as well as the king of beasts. It faces away from the hoist, for I accidentally drew it backwards and do not have the tools to fix it. It can be flown regardless of the direction though.
