The yellow represents the shining beacon of our nation, contrasted against the black which represents the immoral foreigners. The griffons represent the might of our nation and a symbol of the old times of peace and morality.

Hello, psychedelic, vaporwave Poland!

Our flag has no meaning. It was designed by our previous king, Jasaw Chan Kukulkan, while he was tripping balls on some weird herbs...
[pauses]
WAIT SCRATCH THAT. HERE IS OUR SUPER-SYMBOLIC MEANING:
The obviously blue sky represents the natural order and how we totally wish to uphold it. We are extremely in touch with reality.
The black star represents new opportunities awaiting us.
The purple seawater represents the difficulties that must be traversed before we can take advantage of those opportunities.

Many people are confused about the question mark. I mean, they wouldn't be, if they interpreted it as a sickle, as it properly should be. A well-made sickle is both a weapon and a tool of agriculture. You can lose everything, but if you keep a sickle, you cannot go wrong!

The cuckoo? It's a cuckoo. There's plenty of cuckoos around here. Like you corrupt Western lot, they also leave their newborns in trash bins that belong to other birds. We are proud to admit that we defy the natural order.

NS stats are not accurate.

The Republic of the Popular Councils of Neo Kerala is a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist state. Founded in 1948 after our NatDem Revolution, we took the side of the PRC and Marxism-Leninism (Mao Zedong Thought) during the Sino-Soviet split. After the Hua-Deng coup, we joined the RIM, and followed the shining path of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. We struggled against old and modern revisionism and uphold the Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, mainly Maoism, also held by our Comrades in Peru, Turkey and Brazil, and support the PPWs in India and the Philippines. Long Live People's War! People's War until Communism!

Blue - The horizon; the future

White (Stylized Dove) - Peace, freedom and unity

Green - Life

All-in-all, it represents Tellus (OTL Earth) and all of its inhabitants in an ideal state of harmony, looking towards the promising horizon.

From this post:
Dracunia wrote:Black, crimson and pale-white (the so-called „Nemedian tricolor“ adopted by revolutionary nationalists and liberals discontent with the post-Oscarine status quo) themselves pose little essential meaning; esoterically, these were taken to symbolize the darkness, blood and death (as in the case of Angvar's, except it is only black and crimson). Up until 1368 the original Drachenstein coat of arms simply consists of a dragon in a crimson field surrounded by a black bordure; the black cross was later added in 1712, the four fleurs de lis in 1617, and the cross cercelée in 1726. Variants show the Drachenstein shield crowned with an elector's cap, indicating that the Archdukes of Dracunia were electors in the Holy Nemedian Empire until its dissolution in 1851, as well as the post-electorate variant in which the shield is crowned with the Imperial State Crown of Dracunia, replacing the earlier elector's cap and indicating the Drachenstein Monarchy's elevation into an empire. The dragon was previously colored black until 1816—the Dracunian flag displaying a black dragon is used during wartime. The four fleurs-de-lis, while a holdover from its Aquilonian conquests, have an intrinsically-religious symbolism to them—they represent the Four Holy Wounds of Attrition, Contrition, Compunction and Abnegation in the religion of Miraculism”.

The blue, red and yellow background represents the national colours of Adwilaur. These colours have represented the country throughout it's history, for centuries. The flag was originally just these three colours, but after Adwilaur adopted Socialism, it was edited to include the black and white star, alongside the hammer, gear and sickle.

These icons generally represent Socialism. The Hammer, Gear and Sickle specifically represents workers' unity and solidarity, whilst the meaning of the star is up for interpretation. Black and white were selected as to not clash or merge with the colourful background.

The black background remembers the dark colors and camouflage worn by cloaked Catholic guerillas of the 1870s who helped their fellow brethren escape persecution. Those who did escape formed Exarkyon.

The white cross is a background feature inserted to allow Exarkyon's flag to conform to the normal standard of flags in the region, which have a two-color background and a two-color foreground charge. Here is usually included some national symbol associated with the people, but Exarkyon quite literally had no heritage other than its faith. Therefore, a cross was deemed appropriate.

The gray lozenge is a shape chosen to represent Iraxon, the man who was made the first leader by the people. His own personal insignia made use of the shape prominently, and so it was decided to include it in the foreground charge. It is colored gray so that it stands out from the background while still allowing prominence to the central figure, which is the most important.

The kruckenkreuz represents Catholicism (in particular, as opposed to other denominations), colored yellow as that color is seen to represent the Church in the area. It is the central and most prominent figure on the flag.
Official information about Exarkyon can be found here.

While the blue-white-blue triband has long been a symbol of Trennish unity, its exact meaning is disputed. The most common theory is that it represents the ocean, which has historically been the lifeblood of Trennland as an island nation; to this day, Trennland's maritime industries are some of the strongest in the world.

The emblem on the center band is the Rose of Labor, one of the traditional symbols of socialism.

The white background represents pureness, expanded in many areas.
The blue stripe is a never-ending flow of rivers, meaning that love and life will never end.
The stars represent the 12 original states, although it may be expanded to 25 stars for the Democratic States.

Also the IC flag has the stars.

The red represents the blood of the Zirkovians who died fighting for our freedom, as well as all Zirkovians who have fought and bled in the name of freedom and democracy over the course of the past thousand years. It also represents Zirkovian valour and martial prowess. The white symbolizes the purity of our ideology - our pure devotion to true freedom, as well as our piety. The eagle is the national animal of Zirkovia but also represents freedom, strength, and valour.

The color scheme is traditional and does not have a primary interpretation, but a modern interpretation is the colors represent spheres of earth, biosphere at bottom, atmosphere in middle, and the expanse of space at the top. It fits well with the contemporary Mykovan mindset of chasing out into the unknown to discover and bring ourselves forward. This color scheme has been embraced various times by space industries in the nation.

The green and blue represent the land and waters of Lanansia. The white represents serenity. The double headed eagle represents the strength of the Lanansian people. The cross symbolizes determination, the ring around the eagle represents Lanansians willingness to defend their country. Finally, the star and crescent symbols represent Sonarus, the Sun God, and Numara, the Moon Goddess. They are the gods of Calicism, being two halves of infinity, representing the duality of the world.

Green the king as green in my language is an acronym of hail to the king, white the law as it's a neutral colour and Blue freedom. It has been used since the 1848 liberal revolution that ended absolutism and placed a cadet branch the royal family as a constutional Monarchy.

The gold represents the wealth of Lothria and its ruling dynasty, while the black symbolizes the struggles and hardships endured by House Gaunt and Lothria over the centuries. The raven, the symbol of House Gaunt, represents intelligence and loyalty. Ravens remember faces particularly well, and thus the bird is also a warning that we do not forget insults so easily.
