Wouldn't the 4th decimal hour be 4.48 duodecimal?It's four in decimal time on that clock, which is a little after 9:30 AM
Edit: nevermind it's 10 hours per full day not 12...

Thanks. I included the clock because I really wanted to convey a sense of French republicanism, and what better symbol of the impact on society that the revolution had than the decimal clock?
Flag of the Thiudiska Rikijan
An East Germanic-speaking pagan European country?
I have a write-up but it's huge, on the weekly flag challenge thread.
Stuck between three variations of a flag for an independent Louisiana (led by Lafayette) idea, all maintaining the same fleur de lis for French roots
Flag 1: Basic French tricolor with green stripes (representing agrarianism for the farmers) and each of the stars with a representation of people (Red for those in strife, Green for natives, Yellow for Spaniards, Blue for French) all uniting under the fleur de lis
Flag 2: Replaces the red end with green (signifying the blue Northern Louisiana and Southern Green Louisiana) with the red stripes representing the blood of all (darker red this time)
Flag 3: Basic French tricolour with the stars and fleur-de-lis

I think the first and last one with green-stripe-on-blue look fairly bad, as the two colors blend together from a distance. The middle one with the red stripes is the best by far.
Might as well crosspost my entry:
The Novist Khanate
Brief Timeline
A wider Civil War in the Russian Empire leads to defeat of the Bolsheviks but an unstable republican government.
Roman (von Ungern-)Sternberg founds the pan-national Nova or Novist Party in response to growing Russian Nationalism.
A Nationalist coup provokes a Novist countercoup and militarist government under President Roman Sternberg
Novist Party slowly gains control of all state apparatus.
President Sternberg adopts title of Khan originally a pejorative by his opponents.
Foundation Wars establish the Khanate.
Ideology
Originally a blend of Orthodox Christian and Buddhist ideals.
Primary goal is to establish a global Eden populated by "Angelic Man" and all other goals are subordinated to this. Angelic Man is held to be the original humanity before the fall of the first civilisation in Eden - purported to be near the Aral Sea.
It is held that the Fall split humanity into 4 Quarter Races:
* Aryans - who further split into ancestral Europeans and Indo-Persians
* Adomites - who split into Semites and Africans
* Altaics - who split into Native Americans and the Turko-Mongols
* Asiatics - who split into Orientals and Aborigines
Historical empires are said to owe their success to due to a mixing of subtypes that brought them close to 1 or more Quarter Racial types.
The State thus licenses and authorises all progeny to promote hybridisation in furtherance of Angelic Man, hybrids being favoured in all aspects of the State.
Only Novist Party members are allowed in governance and must undergo regular physical, mental, and spiritual testing to prove their fitness.
The Flag
The flag features the Novist Sun device in gold on black.
The symbol is a merger of various European and Asian sun symbols such as the Slavic Suncross and Indian Svastika.
Sorry, the last one was supposed to be a different one and came out with copying the first one.
Some flags from the Grand Theft Auto V video game universe; created them since the default flags that came with the base game were ugly as heck and looked nothing like their real-life counterparts.

I think you might try different shades, tints, saturations, and ratios for the colors. I find that you can get any two clashing colors to work well together if you find just the right versions of them. A lighter blue, for instance, would probably do the first and second versions a favor, and a more faded, subdued, fleshy-colored red would benefit all of them. It also has the effect of making it look more like cloth and less like RGB code.
