china. The large star represent the communist party while the line ending in smaller stars represent the 4 occupations under it.
iran. like on the OTL one, the sentence "Allahu Akbar" written in kuffic script is repeated 22 times symbolising the call to revolution made on 22 Bahman.
Can I ask what these represent? I get the stymbols but the lines are flying over my head.
South Korea: The 4 clusters of lines on the fly side are the same trigrams found on the South Korean flags. They represent balance and are associated with various universal groups of four: the four elements, the four seasons, etc... The U-bend black lines at the bottom hoist are there strictly for aesthetic purpose. I wanted the bottom clusters to extend to the hoist to create the virtual canton above but extending the bottom trigrams themselves would have gone against the idea of the 4 trigrams being equals.
North Korea: the symbolism is basically the same as OTL with the blue bands representing unity and the red, patriotism. In this design, the presence of 3 bands instead of one represents the juche concept of society being composed of 3 distinct but equal classes: peasant, worker and samuwon (intellectuals/professionals).

Maybe you could have stripes with the pattern (not just in the bottom though, all over) and have something else in the canton? The red and green really clash.
