Those are awesome! I'll probably use the first one at first, and then they change it to the second.

I found this:


That's a Cromwellian Era anti-Charles infantry standard. Could you do something very reminiscent, but not identical, of that in alternating designs for the English, Scottish, and Welsh army flags? It's very reminiscent of the Flash-and-Circle from good ol' Oswald. I'd like to devolve the army symbol into the Flash-and-Circle by some point when they reunite it into one flag for all three armies.

Now THERE's a thought

Well, the arts would certainly flourish more than historically, and perhaps the order wouldn't look to Russia as much. Though when/if the revolution comes, the knights will be all French and all very lazy

How about a stylised L - sort of bootlike and standing for liberty?
White on white bordered red circle over the Union Flag.

I'd draw it myself but having imaging problems.

What if the EU was taken over by Germany?



The Napoleonic-esque standard of Angela Merkel as Präsident und Kanzlerin von der Union.



Coming soon.

An American Flag from a TL in which the American Colonies gained independence through peaceful/diplomatic means.
France wins big in the Seven Years War. The American Colonies are annexed. France lapses into revolution and civil war in the late 18th Century. The antimonarchist forces receive the support of Les Americains through the promise of autonomy upon victory. Full independence of the twelve colonies (France having combined Connecticut and Rhode Island in 1764) is negotiated peacefully in 1807, after the final obstacle to independence is removed when the American provinces agree to abolish slavery. The new nation of America consists of OTL United States territory east of the Appalachians, less the western third of Georgia, northern Maine, those portions of New York and Pennsylvania bordering the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River, and some minor differences in favor of France in western Virginia and North Carolina.

First raised officially as the flag of America at the swearing in of Thomas Jefferson as the new nation's first Director in the Capitol District (located in the area of OTL Potomac, Maryland and Great Falls, Virginia), the flag retains the white liberty cap on red symbolism of the French Republic, and employs twelve stripes using the blue and yellow colors common in American colonial flags under the French to represent the twelve provinces of the new nation.

I think I'll use the flags Marc made for the this, but I'd like to see this. There has to be other factions and parties, after all.

Ah yes, Angola Merkel. The iron-willed chancellor of the European Union who also happens to be a large African nation-state.

Great flags! But her title should read as Präsidentin und Kanzlerin der Union.
