I have no issue with Hiem's choice of ripple. I don't use ripple but that shouldn't detract from the fact that Hiem's flag involves a beautiful colour scheme and emblem

Voting for Hiems for the beautiful choice of color and the fact that I'm not a big fan of chessboard designs.

All these matches are pretty one sided, huh?

Paradisia Heavenlonia Stralisia Union (by Paradeavenlistan States) vs High Umbra

Vote for your favorite flag and, if you want, explain your preference in the thread!

Submissions are now completely closed. Updates to existing flags and descriptions are allowed, so long as your flag has not been voted on yet.

Image
Paradisia Heavenlonia Stralisia Union
The red star represents Stangelic Energy and unity. It also represents the six main elemental phoenixes that roam the archipelago with the exception of the rainbow phoenix which is represented by the white stripes on the star as the creator of them. The white represents the glaciated topped and symbolic Leecona Mountains. The blue represents the vast oceans that lie beyond the archipelago while the green represents the environment.

Image
High Umbra

My opinion: Both flags are almost equal, but I will be voting for PHSU because the fine detail of High Umbra's flag is impossible to see at a distance.

Paradisia Heavenlonia Stralisia Union's flag has a description as well as left-right symmetry, so I'll vote for that, even though High Umbra's purple color scheme and detail is pretty nice, too.
Not all NS stats/policies may be used. NOTICE: Factbooks and Dispatches are mostly outdated. See here for more info.
Accidental policies: Marriage Equality. I blame nsindex.net for not mentioning that part in no. 438 even though common sense dictates that I should have figured it out myself

Paradisia Heavenlonia Stralisia Union (by Paradeavenlistan States) defeats High Umbra 20-13.
So as you can see, not all these matches are one-sided! I was somewhat conflicted about my vote myself. In the end though, the voters chose to give Paradeavenlistan States another victory.

Top 128 Match 11
Nova City (by New Solaurora) vs Fallen Albali

Vote for your favorite flag and, if you want, explain your preference in the thread!

Submissions are now completely closed. Updates to existing flags and descriptions are allowed, so long as your flag has not been voted on yet.

Image
Nova City
Nova City is a world renowned hot-spot of Art Deco architecture. Its most famous example is the Century Building. An abstract depiction of the Century Building can be found on this flag.

Image
Fallen Albali
Fallen Albali's (or Roulons') flag is something of an oddity in the Albaliverse; the deep red and blue is a combination rarely seen, fitting the unusual conditions for Roulons itself. The traditional raptor has been altered almost beyond recognition, now being symmetrical and missing its head. This was to represent the battered state of Albali, but not to demoralise its citizens - instead, it was designed to unite them in the shared loss of their nation, to make them more angry at the enemy so they they would be winning to fight once more when the time for reclamation had come. The flag of the Republic is also flown above this one, to show that Roulons is still Albalian land.

My opinion: Both flags are excellently designed, yet clearly flawed in some way. I will go for Nova City on this one, since I prefer the color scheme.

Ah, I knew that one was going to be close and I think I can sense another close match ahead. Despite me winning that match, it doesn't take away how gorgeous High Umbra's flag is!

As for this one, this is a tough one as both flags have unique designs and good use of symbolism and symmetry. However, I might vote for Fallen Albali since it gives off more of an aesthetic in my opinion and I do like quite like the colour scheme.

The one of Fallen Albali is a good flag with consolidated meaning but the colors make it hard to look at for a long time, the Nova City one is a beautiful flag but I don't really see a meaning in it, it could be a flag or the logo of a luxury hotel.

My vote goes to Albali because besides my problem with the colors the flag manages to convey better the message it wants.

Nova City reminds me of the flag of Split (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split%2C_Croatia#/media/File:Flag_of_Split.svg) for some reason.


The Tri-Planetary Coalition. A medium power on the galactic stage, with the internal squabbles you might expect from three different species with no shared history at all. It seems to work, however, as our many exports and intellectual wealth fund the highest quality of living this side of Central.

Same shape, but this one looks like an ad for a wine. Nova City looks like an audio visualization.

I'm sorry, but the Compression Artifacts on Nova City's flag are just screwing with my eyes. My vote goes to FA

Edit: On a different note, what happens if two flags are tied?

Honestly, Nova's flag just kind of looks like lines to me. I honestly like FA's design and colour scheme. I dont see how it hurts the eyes honestly? Either way, FA gets my vote.
Ditched my old signature. Will be making a pretty looking one when I find the time.

I have to give my vote to Fallen Albali, not gonna lie. I dunno, I love the emblem and the color combination.
What happens when you cross anime powers and overpowered leaders with furries, all written by a bored Homestuck fan with too much time? Well, you get Rumei. A multiethnic, FT republic with both might and magic that let it conquer the entire Orion Arm.
A 7.6 (this is probably outdated but I can’t do the calculations rn) (Tier 9, Level 6, Type 9) according to this index.
Come to The Orion, we got C U L T U R E and F U R R I E S

Show Recommendation: Cobra Kai. It is very, very good.
IC Name: Roman Republic, or simply Rome (Rumei). Occasionally called the Ignisian Republic. Current year is 2697.

Well, it says so in rule 4 in the OP:
The Cosmic Mainframe wrote:4. If there is a tie, both flags will compete in a three-way match which requires 15 votes to declare a winner.


The Batavia wrote:I dont see how it hurts the eyes honestly?

I'm presuming that's because of the screen brightness for devices of certain users(not the case for most of mine though). Other than that, I don't see how with either.
