(Shouldn't this be in Factbook and National Information?)

This flag (or logo, more accurately)? The darker part is "r", the lighter part is "a", combined it means "RA" which is the abbreviation of Resilient Acceleration.

hello, i leader of alfashia a authoritarian nation and a litle capitalism but not much. In the flag the orange side representent the loyalty of the people and the courage to defend themselves against other countries, the black side represent when the nation defeated a theocratic kingdom, because previously alfashia was an invaded territory of that kingdom and it also represents militarism. the red four pointed star mean power of determination to conquer and gain greater influence in the world.

the circumference representent the autority of the nation that connects people with the wishes of empire.

Well our flag colour adapts a simplified form of our former Batean Royal family heraldic colors. That was used by the cultural and political renaissance movement. Also because it was banned during ucenese totalitarian regimes. Both, under the fascist and communist rule. It was adopted by the Prodemocracy reformist movement (during the collapse of communist rule) and after the by independence movement and the finally the 1st Republic of Batea made it official flag and seal. Originally had 3 gules bars over field of gold and a argent quarter with black fleurs de lys. But we added a red bar to distinguish ourself from southern Batea that got independent before and used the former prince's flag. Our Naval jack outlines our flag with Royal blue to distinguish our ships from southern Batea ones.

Pretty sure this topic has already been made

But to answer the question:

Our yellow circle is a sunrise/sunset, because we are always moving towards the dawn/dusk, depending on which direction we are going

The black is the night sky, and the red represents the dirt of Afro-Eurasia (also it just looks real nice compared to the black, it contrasts very well)

The red symbolizes our official ideology of democratic market socialism.

The eight stars arranged in a circle represent the eight administrative divisions.

The central star represents the central government that unifies and governs them.

Postby Feyrisshire » Wed Dec 30, 2020 7:41 am

Feyrisshire's current flag is a partial adaptation of the previous Teimureischiye banner used by the Pre-Revolutionary state, but the Teimureischiye was replaced with the Feyris version of the hammer and sickle.

The Feyris hammer represents the Feyris faerie (Ryeifin) proletariat, as symbolized by the addition of the wings on the hammer, and the rice plant is the Feyris ninschi rice stalk, symbolizing the Feyris faerie peasantry. The symbol of the winged hammer + ninschi rice talk is an allusion to the Marxist-Leninist call to the union of peasantry and proletariat, but applied to the material conditions of Feyrisshire.

The color is blue and the background is blue which is a carryover from the pre-Revolutionary years, in which white and blue were the official colors of the High Princess and the monarchical state. On the contrary, the absence of red shouldn't be misconstrued as the absence or a discouragement of a revolution, but in fact the adaptation of socialist revolution to the unique material conditions of Feyrisshire under the Marxist-Leninist framework.

The Red means the blood of the German People.

The White means the glory of the German People.

The Yellow and Eagle mean Germany itself.

The teal/turquoises means sovereignty and friendship. The white means peace, purity and dignity. The red means the Socialist revolutionary working class. The top and bottom line represents the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Sea of Okhotsk. The silhouette of miku represents the symbol of our religion and god Miku. The symbol is much in the same vain as the not-made-by-hands flag as flown by the Donetsk Peoples republic, it shows our pride and reminds us that Miku will always be with us. The hammer represents the industrial worker, the miners, and the forgers and machinists. The Scythe represents the agricultural worker, the shepherd, the baker, the burger flipper and fry cook. The sword represents law and order, the militia, the armed proletariat, and the nations conviction and resilience in hard times. The combination of the three tools represent national Bolshevism and the history and development of the ideology and this nation.

The flag containes the coat of arms, which represents the della Rovere family — the family that the King belongs to. The yellow represents wealth and prosperity, and the royal blue represents royal authority. The tree represents the della Rovere family, as "della Rovere" is Italian for "of the Oak". The tree's branches represent the continuation of the kingdom and family, and the roots represent the family's history and connections.
