Daon-Phoblacht na hÉireann
(People's Republic of Ireland)

As Britain descended into anarchy in the early 1900s the communist Fenian Party took power in Ireland.
Their flag was based on the legendary sunburst emblem of the Fianna.
The red field represents the spilled blood of the Irish people, and their dedication to the Rule of the People (ie Communism).
The sunburst represents their warrior spirit.
The green at the heart of the sun represents the Irish lands.

Following the nuclear bombing of Ho Chi Minh City by the Americans in 1973, many nations world-wide rejected the tenets of free markets and the military-industrial complex of the USA. The reaction was especially strong in neighbouring Canada, which adopted Communism and formally de-militarized in 1975. The flag of the Egalitarian Republic of Canada was unveilled on Worker's Day, July 1st 1975.

Gent Units d'Andorra

After the triumph of the the Republicans against the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War, the communists would eventually be able to gain power forming Spain into a true communist state. Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler took the lessens they learned from the war to better plan their moves in Europe. When WW2 started and the subsequent invasion of France the Republic of Spain entered on the side of the Allies, giving Britain aid in the freeing of France from Germany. When Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Hitler had placed Germany between the vise of one communist state and a proto-communist state.

After the fall of Nazi Germany, the United Kingdom was again the dominant power in the world. Yet, there was the rising power of communism. France with support from the USSR and growing communist party in Spain helped to strengthen the French Communist Party with the country going communist by 1951. The British controlled German sector was quickly formed into the West German Republic and it eventually becoming part of the United Kingdom by 1976 when it was...

The Democratic Rebuplic of Israel

After the Kibutz movement got even stronger than OTL (And it was very stong then) And Stalin found more Intress in the jewish people, The state of Israel was created as a communist state, and a semi-puppet of the USSR.
During Satlin's world famous visit of Israel on the tenth of May, 1950, Stalin announced that he saw that the socalist Zionist movement was everything besides a hurdle in the race for a world revolution, and said that every Jew in the USSR is allowed to move there. Soon East Germany, Cuba and many other communist allies of the USSR followed suit.
What that happened is a mass immegration of 1 million jews (less than the mass immegration after the fall of the USSR in OTL but still quite big) with some more coming every year, giving Israel a huge work and millitary force, what allowed it to easily win the 5 Day War (even shorter than OTL 6 Day War) and turn into a strong regional power.

I've edited my own communist Israeli flag, along with writing a description of the symbolism.

The Jewish People's Republic of Israel
The blue and white stripes are indicative of two things: the tallis (which is one of the central icons of Judaism) and the waters that border the state (the Mediterranean and the Jordan River/Dead Sea). The red field in the center like wise has multiple meanings: Communism and the blood of the workers as well as the blood of the Jewish people murdered by Hitler. The gold of the Seal of Solomon is to indicate majesty of rule by the people as well as in particular to declare the sovereignty of the Jewish state over the land of Israel. The Seal of Solomon was selected instead of the Shield of David for a number of reasons, though chief among them was that the Shield had become such a religious symbol that there was fear selecting it may alienate or offend more conservative Jews around the world, and the fledgling state still considered itself a home for all Jews, no matter political affiliations. Solomon, in Jewish tradition, was also a wise king who ruled his people justly and fairly, and it was wished to imbue the state with similar conotations.
