Unlike many flags, this is not a flag of blood, nor of the glory of a nation, but a love of the region; our land and its bounty; the place in which we live and love.

Red and Gold are Roman colours. The eagle is descended from the Holy Roman Empire's Reichsadler. The cross of course represents Christianity.
Basically what happens when you throw Germanic raiders in a blender with Romans and give them a few centuries to form their own culture.

The flag overall represents the traditional Yu model of the universe. The green disk in this case is earth, or the physical universe itself. The taijitu naturally represents the balancing forces of the universe, with the river underneath representing the flow of cosmic forces. The flame represents energy, and the burning power of existence.

Outside of this, the flag is also a symbol of the nation culturally as well.
The colors of red, green, blue, and white represent the four classical Yu elements and the four directions, as well as each culture associated with them.

The color red, and the flame both represent the southern Yu and the south. An area and culture closely related to the month of summer and the element of fire. Southern Yu are considered honorable, brave, and devoted to duty. The classical animal of the south is the phoenix

The color green represents the central Yu. Inhabiting the heartland of the empire, the central Yu are the most numerous group. They, and their homeland are closely related to the season of spring and the element of earth (as shown by the disk). In relation to the other cultures, their natural direction is east. They are considered resourceful, prosperous, and reverent of tradition. The classical animal of the central/east is the tiger.

The color blue and the pattern of flowing water represents the northern Yu. These people inhabit the harsh steppes and tundra of the north, and are closely related to the month of winter and the element of water. Their natural direction is north, towards their homeland. They value freedom, morality, and power. The classical animal of the north is the horse.

The white bands represent the west in the form of air. The westerners are the smallest Yu group, inhabiting arid basin and high mountains. Their natural direction is west, and are associated with the season of autumn. The western Yu are defiant, protecting, and serious. The classical animal of the west is the dragon.

The yellow background represents a unified Yu nation, and is a symbol of imperial power.

The red stands for the blood shed by all Christian martyrs throughout history. The heart with the cross is the symbol of the Vendee rebels who (in my alternative history universe) overcame the forces of the French Republic and achieved independence. White has a twofold meaning: 1) purity and 2) in honor of the Bourbon dynasty that ruled France before the Revolution. The blue field with the gold fleur-de-lis represents our medieval French heritage.

Each of the colours of the flag pay homage to the ancient Latin Republic, which the Michillian state considers itself a successor to. The purple pays tribute to the Republic’s magisterial power, the gold to the Republic’s wealth and the red to the Republic’s military might. Red and gold were inextricably linked with the Latin Republic, used widely on its vexilla, while purple and gold represent the See of Christiana di Campostella, one of the five Apostolic Sees of Christianity. Unofficially, the three colours are widely considered to represent the three constituent countries of the United Republics, with purple representing Monticole, gold North Cortoguay and red Michillies.

The tricolour design itself pays homage to the flag of Ainin, which had gone through a revolution where republican forces had been betrayed by monarchists, who had been fighting side-by-side with republicans in an attempt to win independence from Antelopian Namor. Michillian republican forces, who considered their struggle against Odissian invasion to be in same vein of Aininian resistance against Namorese rule, chose the design to pay tribute to the state’s republican foundations, as opposed to St George’s Cross (the country’s de facto flag at the time), which was deemed unacceptably similar to the flag of Nevanmaa, who virulently and unapologetically supported the failed Odissian invasion.

Blue and white colour scheme: Adopted in deliberate homage to the United Nations. The UN, essentially a rump organisation at the time the flag was designed, was idealised by colonists, who saw it as preferable to the Earth-based External Coordination Authority (colours: dark blue and light green), which was considerably more federal and authoritarian in character.

Eagle: The Yelanese Republic and Grand Mescaleran Republic both used eagles on their flags (neither in this design) prior to the War of Independence. Upon their joining together in union, the eagle design was adopted (minus colours) both to pay tribute to their previous state flags and to convey a sense of military capability.

White bar: To provide contrast to the stars.

Blue stars: Symbolise the three core systems, Yelan, Mescalero and Suskind. While the Commonwealth also maintains control of several other systems, they are not included on the flag due to retaining some degree of titular independence.

Yellow-gold is the official colour of the house of Praetoria (formerly the house of Colomn) and blue is the official colour of the city of Praetoria. In the centre of the flag there sits a minimalist interpretation of an eagle, which is a take on the official emblem of the Old Empire, from which the Praetorian Empire claims descendancy from.
Formerly Khanastan; the Praetorian Empire is set in the same geographical region, only around 200 years earlier.

The Praetorian Empire is a PreT nation set in a world going through an age similar to the Victorian Era - a world of Great Powers, Imperialism, Political Revolution and Technological Advancement where the capitalist machine is beginning to stir into action and when nations were at their largest and grandest. If anyone wants to roleplay a time in that era, feel free to TG me.

The flag of Byzantium (popularly referred to as the "sky-blue-white" or the "blue-white" and in Greek: "Γαλανόλευκη" or "Κυανόλευκη"), officially recognized as a national symbol, is based on nine equal horizontal stripes of blue alternating with white. There is a blue canton in the upper hoist-side corner bearing a white double headed eagle; the cross symbolizes the Eastern Roman Empire and what it stands for. According to popular tradition, the nine stripes represent the nine syllables of the phrase "Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος" ("Freedom or Death"), the five blue stripes for the syllables "Έλευθερία" and the four white stripes "ή Θάνατος". The nine stripes are also said to represent the letters of the word "freedom" (Greek: Ελευθερία). There is also a different theory, that the nine stripes symbolize the nine Muses, the goddesses of art and civilization (nine has traditionally been one of the numbers of reference for the Greeks).

"... The National Flag receives the official name of Dragon Crowns since it symbolyzes the Celtic-Briton heritage (represented by the red dragon) and the power and Dignity of the Avalonian Monarchy since the days of King Arthur. Popularly named the "Welsh flag rip-off", its use is regulated by law and necessary in any official act but you can burn it at demonstrations. Cops won't get mad and people won't riot over it. We're cooler than that."

The blue field and golden crowns are attributed arms of King Arthur, and the dragon is red as in the old Britonic legends, as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon dragon (white). The golden and silver fields mean glory and prosperity.

Postby Magonsate » Thu Jan 21, 2016 6:18 pm

Following the Revolution of 1795, the monarchy of Magonsate was abolished and a Republic enacted. However, the supporters of the monarchy were strong, and for the next two years, civil war reigned. The monarchist color was blue, and the republican color white, in the war. The peace treaty and later the new constitution, which established the Kingdom of Magonsate as a "crowned Republic" with a powerless, symbolic monarch as the compromise, were signed in the rose garden of the city of Hallbrooke. Thus, the flag was chosen by law to be the rose binding the two sides of the war together, hence the rose in the middle of the white and blue design. The four squares design was to show the supporters of each side were mixed (by region, class, etc.) to avoid divisions over the issue later.

The flag of Suurta-Osavaltio is not a traditional flag, rather a coat of arms flown outside of state buildings. The white background represents the snow, which is falling in the northern regions almost endlessly. The light blue swirls represent the water within the fjords of the southern regions, and how the waters so often swirl around. The flag was adopted on 3rd November, 1787, in the city of Karlstad.

I made it myself.
aka it was taken from a picture of the Milky Way Galaxy made by a probe that was the first to leave this galaxy, and it has photoshopped-in Earth in the foreground, UN symbol, name of the UCE and its' motto (From the Stars, Freedom in Latin), and photoshopped-in first colony we had outside of the Solar System, Gaia.
The Milky Way is the galaxy we live in and thus represents the UCE's aspirations to colonize as much of it as possible. Gaia is a further symbol of our interstellar aspirations and successes. Earth is the world we all come from, and the world around which our culture, politics, and economics revolve. It's in space because the UCE is in space.
The UCE evolved from the UN; its' symbol has been incorporated into our flag.

to represent the interests of humankind to the other governments of the Galaxy;
to facilitate the perpetuation of the unity of human civilization and infrastructure between otherwise self-governing colonies;
and to promote technological advancement and scientific discovery for the perpetuation and expansion of the unity and empowerment of all human beings.
