8/10, checks out in the 5 rules, does look quite nice, the only thing bad I have to say about it is that the swords are a bit too detailed, but wales has a flag, it's just pretty good

The design is utilitarian then asthetic in nature, as such it is completly abstract. The colour scheme is nice atleast. Unlike other utilitarian flags it is not a boring tri colour. 6/10

It's quite a busy flag but I rate it along the 5 rules first.
  1. Keep It Simple. The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory.
  2. Use Meaningful Symbolism. The flag's images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes.
  3. Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors. Limit the number of colors on the flag to three which contrast well and come from the standard color set.
  4. No Lettering or Seals. Never use writing of any kind or an organization's seal.
  5. Be Distinctive or Be Related. Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections.
  1. Keep it simple: Absolute failure in that regard, it's highly complicated and not something a child could draw, even an adult would have problems with it.
  2. Use Meaningful Symbolism: I guess that does apply here.
  3. Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors: High failure, even without the gradient in the logo, the blue and purple lack any meaningful contrast, but the gradient is an absolute no-go.
  4. No Lettering or Seals:The Emblem breaks that rule already.
  5. Be distinctive or Be Related: Well, it's certainly distinctive.
So, ultimately I give it a 2/10. For a flag, it's really bad.

The ripple effect sadly diminishes the flag's design, which is quote beautiful and majestic. The coat of arms is very nicely designed and well-placed on the flag. The colours work well together, although perhaps a slightly brighter shade of red would make the whole appear less dark.

Overall, very nice flag design. A 8/10!

5/10. The choice to use an orange + blue colour scheme seems like something that could work well with a more conventional design, like a Tricolour with white. And I think the angled stripe with the circle is a good design. However, the combination of the two makes your flag look rather tacky. If I was to want to improve your flag, I'd either change the design or the colour scheme and maybe make the circle into some sort of logo / coat-of-arms rather than just a blank circle.

If you'd want inspiration, Brazil's flag does the logo / coat-of-arms thing rather uniquely and suits the mood well.

8/10

For what I can understand after a glance of Bronchadia, the flag represents what the user was going for when making the nation. Just a classic nordic cross, which is reinforced by the nation's motto and politics. Also, yellow and green is a really rare combination, making for a more unique flag. Though, this is slightly dampened by the fact there there are no symbols/coat of arms to enhance the cross, so it still seems a little generic. Overall, simplicity works well a lot of the time, and I believe that flags are a lot better if they represent the politics and earth-adjacent location they'd be from, which Bronchadia's flag achieves.

I really don't like the flag is mostly red and the figure in the center is black and then changes back to red. I am not really a fan of red and black being mixed up together but I think it could be done better if the design was remade

Looks very well done, and the H is very graphically excellent. However, it includes text, which shouldn't be in a flag. Keep the big H though. I also like the 3 stars above the H.
