WARNING: SPOILERS FOR NOT QUITE A MONARCH, THE TIMELINE IN MY SIG.
Pixel art flags!
I have a map to go with them, but that would be a bit too spoiler-y. But yeah, spoilers ahead.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
These are the world's primary powers, secondary powers, and states created by the Treaty of Cologne, as well as their current ruler and dynasty. Still not completely satisfied with some of them, but Portugal took me ages to complete, so screw it, I'm posting. Enjoy.

Those are some delightfully odd looking flags for some of the created states - especially for Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro and Bavaria. Glimpsing at your TL too, consider me a new follower!
Thank you very much! I wanted more than just boring tricolors everywhere, even if that is the most likely scenario.
For Serbia, probably, but Montenegro's flag only really became a tricolor once it became a kingdom, relying more on its war flag if one could call it that. Hungary and Bavaria though are more flexible. But you don't need me telling you that!
My attempt at making a flag for United Socialist States of America.
The 13 stars in the bottom obviously represent "the 13 colonies which broke free from the oppressors chains and established the worker's state..." (quote from the New Reformed American Historical Atlas)
I use this for my "Reverse Cold War" scenario which I am currently writing. I'm not sure if I'll publish it tho. But feel free to request more flags, or info!

Oh, and this is the flag of a totalitarian agrarian-socialist state of Taiwan, which is sort of like North Korea, but worse. They are the main allies of People's Republic of Japan in East Asia, since the USSA is pretty far away, and can't assist in the coming Sino-Japanese war of 1976.
Btw in this scenario China is a huge and powerful democratic republic, with massive animosity towards their communist counterpart.

Nice. Looks like a fusion of the CSA flag with an SSR flag.

Alternate flags of the continents:
Africa
The black and white represent (among other dualities) the sunny desert and the dense jungle, the light-skinned North Africans and the dark-skinned sub-Saharan Africans. The three suns represent the great sub-Saharan empires (Kush, Aksum, and Mali) as well as the great North African ones (Egypt, Carthage, the Moors) and the mineral wealth (the Gold Coast and the South African goldfields).
Europe
The red represents the brightly colored hair of the earliest Europeans, the brown represents trade and influence with ancient migrants from the Middle East, the yellow represents trade and ties with peoples to the east, the white represents the resulting new "race" ("white people") as well as ancient wisdom (Christianity, Judaism, paganism, and humanism), and the blue represents the depths of the Mediterranean as well as the current color of the Council of Europe and the European Union.
Asia
Red and yellow are common colors in many Asian cultures, especially Chinese but also to some extent Hinduism and Buddhism (saffron, in particular). The central symbol evokes a yin-yang, a Christian cross, a Hindu/Buddhist chakra wheel, the Sikh khanda, and the Islamic crescent - the overall design is based on the flag of the Maldives. The centrality of the flag represents the majority of humanity that lives in Asia and its status as a center of most world religions.
The Americas
This flag can be interpreted as North America and South America facing each other across a Caribbean Sea lined with white sand beaches and dotted with islands (the star). It also combines the color schemes from the Bolivar flags with the left-oriented star and stripes of the US, the red outer band of Canada and Mexico, and the bright blue of many Central American flags as well as that of Argentina. It is also intended to be the a modern-looking flag, representing the late integration of the Americas into the world.
Oceania
The black and blue represent the deep ocean and its waves, while the green bars represent the islands that dot the ocean. The red color represents the earth of the Australian Outback and the outer border represents the historic isolation of Oceania from Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Africa.
Africa
The black and white represent (among other dualities) the sunny desert and the dense jungle, the light-skinned North Africans and the dark-skinned sub-Saharan Africans. The three suns represent the great sub-Saharan empires (Kush, Aksum, and Mali) as well as the great North African ones (Egypt, Carthage, the Moors) and the mineral wealth (the Gold Coast and the South African goldfields).

American Empire
This is the flag of the American Empire. I think the meaning is quite obvious.
House Washington
This is the flag of ruling Washington dynasty, based on the current Flag of Washington DC.
Imperial Standard
This is the flag of His Imperial Majesty, based on the current Flag of the President of the US.
The coat of arms was designed by Fenn-O-Mannic.

Everyone can agree that a good Washington dynasty Coat of Arms is always a welcome sight! A good flag is even better!
Thanks
! I didn't design the Coat of Arms, though I wish I had that level of drawing skill. But I designed the flags.

I really dig this flag
A flag I made in hopes of joining the contest but I missed it but still want to anyway:
A flag for a white supremacist, neo-Apartheid rogue state in the Prince Edward Islands after a civil war in the 1990's tears apart Apartheid South Africa into many pieces (and all this in a continued Cold War no doubt).

The flags for the Movement for Equality among Nations, a fictional liberal nationalist party.
The flag of Oceania, a tight-knit multi national union based primarily in the Indian Ocean and Australasia, consisting of ex-British colonies and old French and Dutch holdings as well. Member states include Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, East Indonesia, Borneo, Singapore, Malaya, the Maldives, Ceylon and a few south Indian colonies. Whilst not a Commonwealth realm, many of its members are and it has extremely close relations with Canada and the European Federation.
The green field represents peace and prosperity, the three stripes represent the three continents it spans, the Southern cross its geographical location and the influence of Australia and New Zealand and finally, the crescent represents the youthful, ascendant nature of the country and unofficially represents the Islamic population of Oceania.
