It's a communist recolor of the flag of the Saga prefecture of Japan. It was pink before but this color also evokes a similar feeling to the flag of the Japanese emperor.

The red outline symbolizes the blood spilt to help shape and forge our modern nation, the blue stands for hope and peace out nation strives for as well as our beautiful skies and waters, each star represents a province of the Commonwealth, and the Fluer di lis stands for the nation as a whole, and everything it and we stand for.

After some disputes within the PVV and the CDP about the new political party (National Party of the Netherlands) PM Legtenberg announced that the name will be the Conservative Party. Because the initial NPN became associated with far-right parties NSB and NSDAP in the '30s and '40s. PM Legtenberg further announced that the Netherlands wil also be a Federal Republic from 1 January 2024. And that he will become the first President of the Netherlands. How this will affect the elections will be decided by him and the House

The eight stars arranged in a circle represent the eight administrative divisions.

The central star represents the central government that unifies and governs them.

Just my opinion, maybe you should try the old sickle and hammer logo to represent communism and then the star above the logo to represent Socialism. Like this -

The meanings of the flag of the Socialist Federal Republic of the Aquaria should be obvious.

The red background means revolution, more specifically the January Revolution, when the workers overthrew the monarcho-fascist government of the former Empire.

The octagram star have two meanings within it. The star in yellow means glory of the people. The 8 points of the octagram star represent all 8 republics of the Aquaria, while there is no signal of which one directly representing which.

The Terrapacisian flag is a slightly modified variant on the bisected flag commonly used by anarchist and libertarian socialist movements, which reflects the ideals that our nation was founded upon.

The red symbolizes the ideals of leftism and socialism.

The black symbolizes both anarchism and the various anarchist movements that worked alongside other anti-authoritarian leftist movements during and before the Terrapacisian Civil War that led to the establishment of the Socialist Federation of Terrapacis.

The six stars symbolize the six provinces, with each star being equal in both size and distance from each other to further symbolize that no province outranks another.

*Moves Rivognan RMB Messenger to the Western Isles*

Aaaaaaaaaaanyway, the flag comes from the sunrise taking place after our revolutionary leaders received word of our victory against the tyrants on the Italian mainland. Although this may be a cliche, the layout of red and blue symbolizes a new dawn for our nation's people—now that the revolution freed them from Italy's unjust harassment. The yellow on the sun and mountains represents our country's ambition and hope for change. The blue depicts the starry night sky that the Mayan and Italian people typically viewed to gain knowledge of the world. Meanwhile, the red shows the energy and momentum behind every achievement we have made or want to make. Therefore, as a whole, our flag is to depict our country and our people as, essentially, an enlightenment-age liberalwank.

The flag of the Hearthlands takes the shape of a stylised hearth, which is one of the basic administrative units of the Hearthlander court society.
In its composition, the two "staves" of the central saltire represent authority and tradition (or religion). In the coat of arms of the Hearthlands, these are represented by the Royal Scepter and the Czertiśá, a petrified wooden staff that is one of the key religious relics of the Hearthlands.
Around the staves are four fires, representing the four cardinal directions.
Together, this symbol is both a representation of the Hearthlander state and of the institution of the hearth-court in the nation's culture.
The background is a dark red, sometimes referred to as the stain "murrey" in heraldic terms. This colour is seen as an ancient symbol of the regal system and of the office of Queen.

Yellow represents Yellow Kid,the comic created by the founder of the nation,Richard Felton Outcalt. Blue represents the ink that is used to write.The book represent all the comics,the thing which our nation is based. The stars above the book represent all our terrestrial confederate states (more or less) and the other two stars and the planet in the left side of the flag represent our 2 confederate states (Comicalaxy and Comicsverse) that are outside Planet Earth.Finally the olive rams represent peace,prosperity and solidariety to the people.

According to the Emilian Vexillological Society:
"The flag uses two shades of purple, Eminence and Lavender. The Eminence Purple is said to represent the elegance and culture of the people of Grand Emilia. The Lavender Purple represents the natural beauty of the islands, taking from the abundance of heather found on the Mainland. The centrepiece of the flag, the Rose, pays homage to the man who discovered Grand Emilia, Captain Rivers-Chiper, and his homeland of Yorkshire, England."

Blue - The blue as used in the field of the flag is considered the traditional colour of Aikoland and has symbolised the monarchy and later the nation since at least the 14th century.

Fleur-de-lis - The three fleurs-de-lis are officially intended to symbolise Île-d'Aiko, Île-de-Saun, and Île-de-Boullién, the three states of Aikoland. However, they are also considered to symbolise the Catholic heritage of our nation and people. (A popular misconception is that they also symbolise the monarchy, as our nation's coat of arms also depicts three fleurs-de-lis on it, but the ones depicted on the coat of arms are in a different arrangement than on the flag, having two smaller ones on top and a larger one at the bottom rather than one large one at the top and two smaller ones on the bottom)

Our nation's flag is called the Diaper Banner, and its most prominent symbol is that of a crisp white diaper in its center. This is our national symbol and official form of dress, harkening back to the early days of our country when workers wore diapers to keep working longer hours in the warm climate.

The letters D and L are representative of our nation's name, which its official spelling has both letters capitalized.

The gold saltire that crosses the flag represents wealth and prosperity. The red field in the background represents the passion of patriots.

Our flag comes in different forms, with the background color changing based on current events. The current field of red has been on the official flag since our nation's founding, but it can be swapped for different colors that symbolize other things.

In Universe:
    Blue represents trust in God and one another.
    Red represents the blood spilled in defense of Gavia Penguis. 3 Stripes for the 3 members of the Holy Trinity.
    White represents hope through the Lord and love of peace. 2 stripes placed between the 3 red stripes as peace has been purchased through bloodshed.
    The stripes are looking forward to the future.
    3 stars, again in respect of the Holy Trinity. Yellow of the first star represents the richness of the land and other blessings. Orange of the second star for optimism for the future. Green of the last star for respect of our agricultural background.

In my life, personally, I created this flag while fighting and recovering from cancer. For me personally, it represents:
    Blue is my faith in God--you fight cancer twice before you're twenty and either hate Him or love Him.
    Red for the blood transfusions that I regularly received and the sacrifice of time and money my family made for me.
    White represents the pure, happy, innocent, and good moments I and my family had despite my illness between the bad.
    3 primary red stripes for the Holy Trinity and because I think 3 is a good number. The stripes are leaning forward as I'm looking forward to the future.
    The 3 stars each represent a different stage of my illness. Yellow is the ribbon awareness color for Ewing's Sarcoma, my first cancer. Orange for leukemia, my second cancer. Green for bone marrow transplant, the procedure that saved my life and allowed me to return to a relatively normal life.

Not from TWI, but from the humble region Heart, it represents the strength of Culway, formally a fief of Araluen, but after a great plague that turned the death into zombies and the entire fief had survived and United all of Araluen under the Culwayian Banner, the Red is a representation of all of their blood (of the Culwayian peoples) the black is representation of those of their dead, the swords represent the fighting force.

TL:DR: basically red is the blood, black is the dead, swords are the fighting force.
