Republic of China (adoped 1937, just prior to the commencement of the Asian War of 1937-1941).

What was the KMT's reason for changing the flag?

Well, the POD for the TL is in 1901, and it was a rather different Great War, in which China participated on the losing side. This left the KMT somewhat weaker, and while they did eventually take control, it was somewhat later and in more of a compromise with the Beiyang government, though the KMT was the dominant group.

The KMT emblem became the basis of the new national flag, but the five horizontal stripes served as a visual nod to the "Five Races Under One Union" flag which it replaced. That flag had become inaccurate anyway, as Japan had taken Manchuria (represented by the yellow stripe) in the Great War, and Tibet (the black stripe) had recently gained its independence.

The flag of the former Portuguese colony of Fernando Pó and São Tomé. The four stars stand for the four islands; Fernando Pó, Príncipe, São Tomé and Ano Bom.

Commonwealths of Oceania

"Following the dissolution of the British Empire (due to the the constitutional crisis over the marriage of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson and the then british governments neutrality in the Second World War), the Dominions of Australia, New Zealand and the Territories of Papua and New Guinea, formed the Treaty of Sydeny, establishing the Commonwealth of Australasia and Melanesia, a federation styled governenment for joint administration and military protection (largely due to the presence of the Japanense Empire at the time), and, although they retained the monarch as head of state, they refused to accept Edward or his heirs as the legitimate rulers, and so invested all powers within a joint elected Lord Protector, until such time as "the true heir of Windsor retakes the throne".

Over the years that followed, 17 nations (formed from the remaining european possessions and former japanese occupied territories within the remainder of Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia) joined the Commonwealth, their admission resulting in a rewrite of its federal constitution and the ultimate creation of the Commonwealths of Oceania, today the dominant force within the Pacific and Indian oceans."


Flag: The center bears the Seal of the Commonwealths; a central field of dark blue (as the night sky) bearing the Southern cross and Commonwealth star, representing the Commonwealths position on the globe, tinctured in red, white and blue, showing their historical originas with Britian and other european members. Surrounding this core symbol, is a pair of gold, shell shaped rings, bearing between them the offical state title, the "Commonwealths of Oceania", and seven, various sized stars, representing the original seven territories that formed the original Commonwealth of Australasia and Melanesia.
The seal lays on a field of white, bordered by two strips of light blue ontop and below, representing the pure seas and skies surrounding the various membrs, whilst the white represents a new begining and peaceful future.

Very nice emblem. Is it your own creation?

I love when people have imagination to create new plausible commie symbols that stay away of the Soviet hammer-and-sickle.

[Martinus Paduei]

But it has a hammer and sickle.

Flag entry challenge. Anyone wanna fill in the background info for me?

Basically Phillip V wins the Spanish war of succession, creating a euro superstate of Bourbon France and Spain. Because its limited to 3 kingdoms Bavaria don't succeed in their Holy Roman Empire ambitions, instead they settle for temporary truce, just to keep things simpler. Also any good reason why I've used the Bavarian flag of modern times as I just noticed?

Nice job. This might actually be a good flag for Canada pre-'The Troubles' era in Decades of Darkness(Or perhaps a Royalist government in exile after the fact). =)

I agree. Nice.
But perhaps increase the fleurdelys slightly and have 4 (1 in each corner)?

Since no one else has said anything, I just want you to know that I love this.

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone would consider making a Scottish flag for me that has both the Royal flag (the red lion on yellow) as well as the st andrew cross (can be inverted)? Something majestic and colonial, for the great scottish empire
