!!Cross Post Alert!! cross posted from both Reddit (kinda) and the alternate US state flags thread.

so yeah, i was crusin around on reddit looking for some good content when i came to a redesign of the Hawaiian flag posted by Eren_Jeager and i wanted to post it on here to spread the love and support for the flag:

here is the link to the imgur where variants of the flag are: http://imgur.com/a/9HZso
and here is the original reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillolog...ian_flag_redesign_oc/?st=iw245w7i&sh=c7aea1c5

personally i love the flag and (of course) its better than the current design but i have to ask, what are your thoughts?

I think it's a beautiful flag, though the design would perhaps be too similar to Alaska. I like Hawaii's current flag, but that flag would probably make an excellent Governor's flag. At the very least it would be a vast improvement on the current flag of the Governor of Hawaii.
 
Anyone up for creating a flag of an exiled Dutch Monarchgy ruling over Indonesia after being expelled during the Napoleonic wars?

Two things, before the Napoleonic Wars, the Dutch were not a Monarchy (Well, they technically were, but still) and I don't think they'd change it, so it'd still be the tricolor.

Well, I meant the Stadtholder goes to Indonesia and forms a sort of exile Monarchy; lets assume that William I never gets a chance to return to the Netherlands. While this state would likely be overthrown or conquered by the Netherlands and if not them the British. Assuming it conceded sovereignity of the Netherlands(Lots of Assumptions I know), what would it look like
 
What if World War one was even more longer and gruesome? Well in this scenario the people had it with their leaders being incompetent and only driven by their hubris. In this scenario, the flame of nationalism finally cools off. People no longer support the country. The country supports the people. This happens in a timeline where World War 1 has lasted 12 years(if this is interesting i might develop this any further). Basic resources and human lives have been wasted for the war effort. Soldiers have either gone completly insane or radical. Eventually the war stops. Just as sudden as it had begun over a decade earlier. This happens happens differently from nation to nation. I will now present each new nation, with it's new flag.
  1. Federated Union of German Marxist-Fieberist:
    A german officer named August von Fieber is one of the only people to have lived through the entire war(I promise we'll get to the flag, i'm sorry for what's next). Mostly because he decided when the war ended. August saw not only the horrors of war through the eyes of a soldier but also the eyes of a civillian. In 1919 he was injured and sent to back home for a few days. This was a rather good ocasion to meet his family he had not seen in years. However, the British decided to give the Germans a taste of their own medicine, the medicine being bombing civillians. One of those citites was the same city were Fieber and his family lived. While his family was happily travelling to the hospital where August was being treated, they had been strafed by a Brititsh aircraft(along with many other). At first August was enraged. However he was going to change his mind soon. He saw that the nobody cared about the death of his family. He then realized that almost everyone in the hospital had lost someone close an they were all just immune at that point. He asked the nurses and the medics, but they saw so much death, it had become a chore for them. Eventually, August had returned to the frontline. He talked with the soldiers there and found out that these kinds of attacks were not uncommon, and that many soldiers were just there to avenge their loved ones. In one battle August got caught in a shell hole, with a British officer. They fought hand to hand, and August managed to disarm his opponent, but hesitated to kill him. He leared that he too had lost his family in a bombing. This was a shock for August who thought only Germany was being bombed. He came later to the conclusion that war was no longer killing soldier, it was killing innocent people. He wanted to bring justice to the world back. He first formed a coalition made of soldiers that wanted to join him. The germans were eager to join him and go home and so were the british. But he would be caught and sent to jail for treason, along with his men. That only helped to spread his ideas. His ideology evetually got mixed up with maxist elements. The revolution was about to begin. His ideology captured the minds of the people and on 19th of April 1926, he evaded. The people wanted justice and equality and they followed him as the leader in a revolution against the monarchist goverment. He finally got to power n 30th of October and wanted to establish peace with the Entente, only to find out that the members of the Entente were also under similar circumstances. The age of Justice had begun. He modeled his govermen based on equality. He adopted a socialist economy and created a constitution meant to favor no one, because no one deserved favors, everyone deserved exactly the same.
    The flag represents the 6 values of Fieberism: Justice, Equality, Vengeance, Protection, Labour and Prosperity. The iron cross symbolizes germany and the red stands for the revolution.

  2. British Socialist Union:
    While August von Fieber was being imprisoned, the man that changed his life was on the front, seeing people die he developed an entire plan to end the war. He wrote everything he wanted the world to know and ran into machinegun on purpose fire to be sent back. He succeded on bringing home his ideology but in doing so he caught an infection and died. A nurse found his journal where he wrote his revolutionary ideas. That nurse went to to lead a revolution against the monarchy, and bring it down, installing a new, democrat-socialist goverment in Britain. The new nation immediately ordered a retreat only to see that there was no war.
    The flag has be altered by adding a big red star that stands for socialism and revolution and a smaler white and gold star that stands for prosperity(gold) and peace(white).

  3. Socialist Republic of Alsace-Lorraine:
    The war had ended, but the French goverment was not pleased. They demanded that Germany give Alsace-Lorraine as they "lost" the war. Germany wanted a buffer zone however, and wanted to make the Alsace-Lorraine an independent neutral state. Neither side liked the other's deal, but evetually they would settle to make a state within France, that would be autonomous under the governing of a goverment much like the new one of Germany.
    The Flag has a similar meaning to the british one. The blue stands for justice and the gold for prosperity, and the white field stands for peace.

I presume this is itinericist? Very interesting, I've always wondered what the rest of Earth and Sol were like outside the USA.
Earth's borders would be recognizable to us, more or less, in that there is a Russia and a China and no Space Filling Empires (well, there's the United States of West Africa, but they don't include Nigeria so no one cares about them).

Most people live in big mega cities that serve as the capitols of interstellar empires. Washington DC, Paris-London, Venice, Bangkok, Nagasaki, Brasilia, New Delhi, Baghdad, Lagos, Kinhasa and Hong Kong are the big eleven. France is kind of a ghost town (literally, the French uploaded themselves into digital forms in the 23rd century), Germany is kind of decrepit, if we're going to be honest. The German Empire had moved coreward under Kaiser Franz II, and the capitol of Germany had actually been on another world. Then most of the Germans got eaten by spiders and "Old Germany" is kind of a no-go zone. The New German Empire is kind of getting used to being back in Berlin, but after hundreds of years of not having to deal with the whole, "interstellar empire" thing, Earth Germans aren't loving it so much.

In the Middle East and North Africa, things are a little different. Libya and Tunis are part of the European Council, Algeria is involved in a long cybernetic jihad against demon-infested server banks buried under the Sahara Desert, so that's cool, I guess. The Arab Republic, covering Egypt, Jordan, and Arabia, is a poor and dangerous in the Eastern European sense, but not too bad. Iraq and Syria cooperated on a major ecological rebuilding project and turned the Fertile Crescent fertile again.

Asia has India, a vaguely communist one-party state as the most stable of the powers. Earth China is kind of a shithole. They got in early on the whole space colonialism thing and now there's lots of planets that are Chinese, but the empire came apart in the 24th century, some places amicably, some places not so much. Unfortunately, Mainland China relied on that empire for its existence and collapsed economically and socially. There was a civil war of the kind that only the Chinese can pull off. There's three or four major Chinese powers in the galaxy, all of them sort of get along with each other and everyone else, and they're fairly prosperous, but mainland China is divided between the northern Chinese League and the southern Chinese Republic who share the longest and most heavily fortified border in existence.

Flag I made for the United Provinces of America.

From the description:
"This is the flag chosen for the UPA shortly after its independence. The white represents purity, the red valor and the blood spilled in the revolutionary war, the blue vigilance, and the yellow justice. The rattlesnake in the center is taken from an important political cartoon and early battle flag during the war, and is meant to represent America itself; like a rattlesnake, it would only strike when provoked. "

Insert joke about the spiders being better than politicians here

Here's a quick flag I made for Carteret, a "country within the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, and The Americas" in an excellent infobox created by That Jersey Guy.
It is just a heraldic banner of the Carteret family's coat of arms. (The four lozenges could also symbolize the main groups that settled in the area over time: the Lenape/Delaware tribe, the Dutch, the Swedish, and the British.)

Fun fact:
One of my ancestors was actually forced into exile from New Jersey by Philip Carteret, the first governor of New Jersey. [He later obtained a spot of land in Manhattan.]
According to a family tradition, he and Governor Philip Carteret met and started arguing over a bridge at the entrance to Elizabethtown, NJ - this altercation eventually grew until my ancestor threw the Governor over the bridge into the water, after which Philip retaliated by confiscating his property - he was then ordered to leave the province by the Proprietary Government.
