Entry 1: Deutsch-Burnai

Entry 2: Deutsch-Indochina
Entry 3: American Cochinchina
After the Second Patriotic War ended, the new powers devided South East Asia between themselves. In the region of Indochina Italy gained Greater Siam, Germany gaining Laos, Tonkin and Annam and the Americans gaining Cochinchina. While the other powers chose to integrate these nations within their empire, the US decided to install a puppet regime with the "backing" under Admiral John S. McCain, who controled the local government with an iron fist, which caused the opponents of the US to call the Cochinchia Free State an "American Raj". Later, cruel as history is, when his more liberal son decided to run for presidency for the Democrats in the early 2002, he was severly critized for not being a true American since he was born in Saigon, which de jure was not an American possesion, only de facto.
The flag, designed by admiral McCain's secretary of Vietnamese descent, uses the two traditional colours of Cochinchina, yellow and blue. The use of stars and stripes stand for "the people's will for freedom". When in 1987 Cochinchina became independent, it dropped the stars.
