The difference between your civil and state flag

by **Hippostania** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 7:29 am

As you probably know or don't know, most countries have two official national flags; civil flag is flown by civilians on non-government installations or craft, and the state flag that is used by the government or its agencies. So, what is the difference between your nation's civil and state flag?

In Hippostania, the civil flag is a tricolor of blue, white and orange with the emblem of Hippostania in the center

Meanwhile, the state flag is the same tricolor as above, but with the seal replaced with the coat of arms

The Civil flag has a black background, and a red hourglass taking up the middle, like a red ring around it.

The civil and state flags are the same - black lambda and red hyphen creating a capital A inside a red ring on white background.

the Kandonian State flag is

the civil flag... well Kandona has two civil flags, one at sea, and one on land.

at sea:

on land:

The civil flag for the land had been the old national flag, last year. It was changed to being just the civil flag when the Kandonian Military petitioned for a new national flag, adding the war flag on a dark red background.

We use the same flag for civil and state

The Koy People's Democratic Republic utilizes the same flag for State and Civil use. However it is not uncommon to see both the flag of the KPSRP, the Flag of the Koy People's Army, the Standard of Ohanka John and the State flag all flying together, infact most government buildings fly all but the flag of the Koy People's Army, which is usually only flown at military bases or draped as a Banner flag for Propaganda reasons.

The SPF does not distinguish between Civil and State, the last Shrill Government to make such a distinction was the Empire.

by **Lancov** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 11:36 am

After the Revolution, the republican government decreed that the same flag shall be used for both civil and state purposes.

Our civil and state flags are one and the same, we see little need for different flags for either one.

Civil Flag (rare use)

by **Greater Mackonia** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 1:16 pm

The old saltier flag has recently been declared the official civil flag with this one being the state flag.

by **Gothland** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 2:08 pm

There's only one flag in Gothland. It's black of corse. Black as the night. Black as the sorrow.

The State Flag of Swaderic has the Royal Monarch Coat Of Arms, currently representing King Harlaus:

Here is the more common flag, used by businesses and schools on casual occasions, its stripes are rearranged, and the coat of arms is removed:

Our civil flag does not have the Arabic script. The script meaning "Equality" on the left and "Socialism" on the right are replaced by how the user's language say them.
For example, in Chinese rallies the flag has "平等" "社会" on the sides of the cogwheel star.
Other than Arabic and Persian, "Socialism" is actually and always written as "society" in other languages. Mainly because, well, Socialism has a few more letters.....

National flag of the People's Republic of Zhouran

Flag of the People's Party

The state flag is the one you're looking at above my name. The civil flag is the same, but without the eagle.

by **Parhe** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 2:20 pm

My state flag is what you see. The civil flag is two horizontal bands of equal size, the one on top yellow, the one on bottom a onyx black. So similar to an upside down Habsburg flag.

by **Anollasia** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 2:57 pm

We only have one flag.

by **Great-Bohemia** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 9:21 am

We have same flag for civil and state flag.

by **French Cannabis** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 12:13 pm

Our civil flag is just a blue, white, and red triband without the cannabis leaf. So basically the flag of France. Our state flag is the one you are looking at.
