0/10.

There's nothing to critique here. It isn't a flag or anything close to one.

That is one envy-inspiringly good flag, sir.

The level of detail might make it slightly dated / difficult to see it surviving into the modern era.

I am reminded of Kandinsky, who at one point stylised his George and the Dragon to just three differently coloured, thick, arched lines on his canvas.

I wonder whether at any point in its history, Frisemark would not consider a similar simplification.

That being said:

8/10

And to whoever will judge my flag:

I am not happy about it, but please be constructive with suggestions on how to get a better flag for a corporate nation by an alien race?

Uhhh.... it's probably deliberately designed in such a way, but it's sort of MS Paint/David Firth style and it sort of makes it look a bit unappealing.
The weird-slug looking thing on it is also a bit off-putting, since it isnt simple or recognizable from a distance. Combine with the odd color choice and weird aspect ratio of the two colors, not a massive fan.
For constructive suggestions on a better design, most would probably go with a simplistic symbol that manages to look 'alien', distinctive and clearly designed to look corporate in some way.
That's just my interpretation of how you'd do that, though.

Usually I'm not one for hyper-detailed flags, but I kinda love the beavers on this one. I don't think I've ever seen a beaver on a flag before. The fact that it's a play on the NCR flag from Fallout makes it that much better, and I really love the way that it inverts the red into blue, and that the beavers are facing the opposite direction than the two-headed bear in the NCR flag. I also really love that it's just two beavers with one behind the other as opposed to a two-headed beaver. It really adds some charm imo.

Overall, a 9/10, I kinda love it ngl

The tricolour is very attractive. I believe that any colors can be made to work well together if the right specific shades and hues are used, and especially if they are ones which resemble the colors of a real cloth flag. You can tell when the designer of a flag has forgotten that flags are meant to be dyed cloth objects flying from a pole in the sun, and you clearly haven't with your delightfully harmonious choice of yellow and red. The white star is interesting. Its size is perfect and its eight points are unique. It adds visual composition to the whole thing and makes the flag somewhat more distinct than the underlying colors which while wonderful are like a cross between the Netherlands and Belgium. In glossy, slightly iridescent cloth it would look magnificent shining under the sky.

By no means should it work. Unconventional color palette which breaks RoT, “generic” socialist design with wreath at center, etc.

And yet…it just works. It’s amazing. The colors shouldn’t go well together but they do. The wreath and emblem are amazing. It’s a great flag.

I'm not a big fan of the late HRE city-state aesthetic I'm sensing from this flag, but that's a matter of personal taste. It seems to convey its idea very well.
The only real issues I can see are related to the emblem being semi-complicated. It might be hard to make out from a large distance. Overall a good flag though.

The colors are quite nice and do go well together, I like the 'just brushed' aesthetic of the religious symbol in the middle and the fish make interesting bearers. My only point of issue would be legibility from a distance since it's sort of hard to make out

7/10, I like this flag.

I do like the color combination of black and green, but the odd placement and look of the hammer of the sickle is not the best aesthetically. And this is purely based on superficial appearances, but I'm not really a fan of Arabic text on flags as they only really make sense to Arabic speakers.

Overall, 5/10. Not too bad.

8.5/10. It's basically just a seal on a bedsheet, but damn if that seal isn't cool and instantly recognizable. The monocolor really helps it pop in a really neat way. Honestly, the only reason my score isn't even higher is because I don't think it'd look particularly good flying in the wind, but everything else about it is just really neat.

I like the colors and emblem in the middle. All colors feels at plage due to the same level of saturation. However, I do not know what to think about the three stripes at the bottom. IMO it doesn't really blend well with the rest of the flag. For that alone i am giving it 7 outta 10

Pink is certainly an interesting color for a communist nation, though I'm personally just a not a fan. I get the relevance to the ideology of the nation, but still, design is design. Add to the fact that communist flags are quite common on NS, and there's a ripple effect, and I'd say some changes could work. A more striking/fitting color, no ripple, and maybe some original communist imagery would make a much more memorable flag.

At present, we'll say 4/10.

The blue and white verticle colors look really smooth and well-toned, and I absolutely like the seal in the middle which simulatenously gives off a Japanese and British vibe, which I would imagine is what you were going for. No real criticism, I just like it.
