I enjoy the simplicity of the logo. I'm not sure if this is one directly from Star Wars or if it is just inspired by it, but it is very well-constructed as a logo. The color palette and the harsh angles convey the Sith ideology well, and the central black sun conveys the reach and ambition of the empire. 9/10 as a logo, but 4/10 as a flag because it doesn't incorporate any traditional flag construction. Even setting the logo on a black rectangle would be very effective.

The warm colours work really well, especially with how its done in a non traditional tricolour/bi colour format.

also the symbol in the top left feels original, and not some recoloured clip art or a reused symbol from some IRL counterpart

9/10, one of my favourite flags on here.

Solid 8/10, a lot of the elements of this flag work together well for a Socialist flag. I would recommend removing the white outline around the central symbol, and perhaps lightening the blue stripe slightly. Other than that, pretty good flag.

Can't go wrong with a non-rectangular flag, and this shape is really cool, though I don't know what it's called. The emblem is also really cool. Though I prefer simpler crests, I have to admit that this is really nice. But I don't think the green fits with the black and yellow. I think I would prefer it if the green section was yellow like it used to be, but all that said it's still a good flag. 8/10

The colors are pretty simple, black and yellow. It is also similar yet distinct from the Holy Roman Empire with the different bird and the border. It may be a bit hard to draw, but the bird is a pretty great design. Overall, 8.5/10!

Very simple and appealing design. Only things I could suggest would be making the green color a shade darker and maybe making the flag longer width-wise.


Please rate this flag, which is supposed to be a SSR/Soviet version of my current flag.

It's a solid 8.5/10. The chosen colors and their scheme are nice, alongside royal symbolism, which is a soft spot of mine.

Overall, while I enjoy the concept, I believe that the execution isn't the best. The use of a standard tricolor pattern isn't the greatest, especially as the colors clash; using green, gold, and red with the gold in the middle would be a better overall feeling. I like the offset eagle and the triangular bits above and below aid in helping it stand out, and I appreciate that it does make it more original than it would be as just a standard tricolor with a charge in the middle.

As such, I would likely rate it a 4/10. Maybe incorporating the tricolor into more of a stylized landscape would give the eagle more context while making the rest of the flag more unique!

Good flag, but I feel like the bird (eagle? raven?) could be a little bit less blurry and maybe more easily identifiable. 7/10. It seems like a good concept for a flag that perhaps you could differentiate from other bird flags by making it a different type of bird, and making that difference more clear.

The flag's contrast is like the sharp ocean, wide and wide, with rays of light coming out of a central element, the flower, an intricate design with layers and edges more than I can count. Count, count, count, but the juxtaposition of the flower aligns in my eyes perfectly with the rays coming out, an intricate boom of sunset tweaking out. And a sign of a prosperous federation is no more than what I saw. 10/10

I like the design idea and the colours at work here, but I think it's overly-designed. The design around the main symbol could be trimmed down a bit - maybe have fewer geometrical objects, cut down on a few circles or so. But overall, I like it, it's an imposing flag. 8.6/10

7.8/10, I quite like the diagonal design that the flag exhibits and it being simplistic but not to the point where it feels boring. The only issues I have is that the blue is too similar to the black (especially evident with the top left blue section and the thick black outline of the sun). As such, I feel like the blue should be lightened up a little. I'm also not sure what to make of the thick black outline of the sun and I feel it should either be replaced with blue (whilst expanding the yellow core without it touching the rays) or it should be completely recoloured to yellow. With those changes, it would easily be at least an 8/10, possibly 8.5/10 even.

Overall, I really enjoy many details about this flag. The color scheme is excellent, as is the central symbology and its arrangement. However, it is a little difficult to see that central triskelion, though it isn't a huge problem. My biggest gripe would probably be the green edges bordered by gold. Something about them throws off the length of the flag, to me, and I'm not sure how I would change that.

8.5/10, definitely a stand-out flag. Minor issues which are mostly personal preferences to me.

La Paz de Los Ricos, at least in my opinion, has one of the best flags on all of NationStates.
We begin with the beautiful symbol. Looking at it, it reminds me of some Native American symbol, reminds me of design beauty, something I do appreciate and love, as it is the perfect symbol for your nation. Along with that, we have that white that accents so well over the blood red it is over. Then, we have the color scheme, with which we see the glorious transition from red to yellow, taking full advantage of the transition between the colors being so good! The color scheme in general's just perfect. However, I feel that the symbol would've been better placed more central to at least to the left major bar, the red one specifically. I would make it a 9.7/10, as I feel the change I suggested would elevate it to perfection.
