Red for socialism, white because it looks good with red.
Four branches to represent four constituent republics.
Circle to represent both unity and constant progress (a circle has no end, its circumference continues on around forever).
Slightly to the left to make it look interesting, and because we're left-wing.

The colors are red, white, and blue, which all look awesome on a flag, and since our Founder, as well as the She-King of Penguins and many of our early key financiers, hail from USA, it made some sense to continue a semblance of "American" spirit, even if this was meant to be its own country. Our great hero and military leader Pen Pen is at the center of the flag, and our great military force the Penguin Liberation Army gets a prominent mention on the bottom of the flag. But as in all things, it is the nation itself that is above the military might, and so its name rises above even Pen Pen.

The shapes and such were just something the Founder thought looked "good enough".

Blue represents the eternal and sacred idea of liberty
White represents purity and peace. The surrounding body around the ideology.
Red is the ideology, of which works to achieve the ideals described in the other three colors.

The dog silhouette on the flag is of a rottweiler, which is the kind of dog I own. The brown and black stripes are the colors of rottweilers. The pink represents the love I feel for my dog, and the green represents the environment.

The lower half is a Roman vexilium, representing that our nation is founded on Roman principles. The letters inside the wreath stand for "Senatus Populusque Noricus", "the senate and the people of Noricum", representing both our Roman heritage and the fact that we are, despite the name of our nation, an independent country, governed by our own right. They were added after the Autonomy Compact was signed on this day 45 years ago.
The top half stands for the Noric Celts and represents the Sacred Mountain in the blue and gold of the former Kingdom of Noricum and Pannonia.

White: Purity, Equality, The untarnished past and the clean and bright future, the icy plains to the north.
Blue: Innocence, fraternity, the seas and sky.
Red: Sacrifice, baptism by fire, blood that was shed especially during the unification period.
Cross: Take a wild guess. Though specifically it represents some of the ideals the nation was founded on which stem from the Orthodox religion. It does not represent a theocratic government.
Shield: The actual shape of the flag but due to international flag standards (NationStates inability to register empty space on a non-rectangualar/square flag) the empty space was filled in to make a four sided parallel shape. Was at one point a coat of arms and symbol of the Army Branch later adopted as national flag due to it's iconic representation of the nation.

Black for Roderia's troubled past,

Gold for Roderia's natural wealth.

Traditional Roderian Nationalist colour scheme, the Emblem is the Emblem of the governing party, the Roderian Socialist Union (not an actual socialist party, but rather a fascist party). The emblem uses basic Socialist Imagery, such as a star, cogwheel and a wreath for peace.
