German Australia
The winner's prize for the Linz Conference, apart from the African concessions, was Australia. Although Australia and New Zealand were semi-independent countries who fought the Great War in their own right, they too were signatories of the clause of unconditional surrender, and thus lost any significant say in postwar negotiations. Germany divided the island of Australia: the most populous eastern half became the Colony of Australia, while the rest became the Federal Kingdom of Australia, ruled by a puppet king: Prince William of Victoria. New Zealand was also absorbed into this Colony of Australia, which essentially functioned as a federation of states with nominal autonomy, albeit with severe limitations which made any individual decisions trivial. The Anglophone population did not take this kindly: a short-lived period of violent resistance known as the "Outback War" from 1923 to 1924 nearly brought German rule to an end. Only does brute force and relentless pressuring ensures the stability of this "abomination of a country", as it was created with little regard for political, social or historic divisions. The flag is somewhat reminiscent of the old Australian flag, although with noticeable differences. The white background represents purity and victory, while the eight-point star is the unofficial symbol of the German colonial empire. The Iron Cross intentionally replaces the Southern Cross, as a way of saying that Germany's power goes beyond even the mightiest forces of nature.

Can i suggest to change the blue color?? It was the color of British Civil service, maybe doesn't fit with Germany. Could you use white background?

Drugging myself with trash fanfics and MIDI renditions of Civil War music after finally finishing a paper. Here are two of the end-results of the unusual union:

The Empire of Old Arcus. Once the most powerful nation in all of Oum, a torrent of malaise and tragedy near the end of the Third Era nearly ripped Old Arcus asunder. Indeed, the empire had never truly recovered from its precipitous decline since the infamous "Parting Shot" Crisis and the events that followed, shorn as it was of both land and people in large amounts as the years pass and its rivals took advantage. The difference between the Empire in the Third and Sixth Eras are as stark as night and day -- one would be forgiven for doubting they are one and the same if it weren't for the banners of crimson and gold, seared with the Crescent, Spear and Shield, which they both share. Nevertheless, the crippled empire still has fractions of the might it once wielded: Its prized heartlands remain under the Emperor's authority, its Imperial Stratos remain capable, advanced and deadly, and its Athanatoi remain Oum's finest and most secretive intelligence agency. The War of Roses proved a shot in the arm for the Empire, which has taken steps to reassert its position in the world stage since the accession of Emperor Ioannes VIII -- soon enough, guns stamped with the Imperial Regalia and "advisers" dressed in the venerable colors of the Hoplites flowed into Weissenberg in ever-increasing numbers as the war dragged on...

The Dual Kingdom of Valkyria-Rennes. Formed from an ancient pact, presumably long before the earliest records of the First Era, the Dual Kingdom is peaceful, wealthy, and surprisingly stable. Rarely did the Dual Kingdom ever fight a war of its own accord in its history, its many kings and queens renowned for having chosen the ways of coin and brush over the way of the sword time and again. This proved to be a blessing in spite of the many lost opportunities for easy gold and easier glory, for the venerable union has weathered the passing of time far better than its lessers, peers and greaters across Oum. By the Sixth Era, Valkyria-Rennes had cemented its status as an economic powerhouse and a global center of culture, enjoying positive relations with most of the world's nations and influence belying its modest size. Its only cause for concern in present times is the crisis that has unfolded in its large western neighbor, the Empire of Lancaster -- with war so close to the Dual Kingdom's doorstep, the ladies and lords in Stormflower Palace wonder if slightly breaking the Splendid Neutrality is worth the opportunity to prevent the violence from encroaching upon its pristine borders before it's too late...​

so uh, i like two things: shitposting in fandoms, and the american civil war. i got hit with a burst of "creativity" while i was browsing the net and listening to some of those delicious civil war songs in youtube, and this is the end product

without further ado:

"I can make this march, and I will make the Whities howl!" – The Count of Areanne, Marshall of the Empire of Lancaster's XV Corps, alluding to the now-infamous Arcus Heights Campaign.

"The issue before the country is the extinction of our dear liberties. No man of common sense, who has observed the progress of events, and is not prepared to surrender their faith... can doubt that the time for action has come – now or never. The existence of our Oum-given Destiny is now in the crisis of its fate..." – An editorial from the Weissenberg Neptunian, shortly before the beginning of the White Roses Rebellion.

Figured I should give it a little update for shits and giggles. The "War of Roses" thing is an allusion to the setting on which these two were based namely a glorified shipping war lol

Some imperfect flags for incoming westward states in The American Century, shared worlds game. The names are indeed a little confusing but its a hell of a lot more interesting than just "North" and "South" eh?


The Flag of Cascadia (OTL Washington):

cascadia flag 1.png


Referencing the natural beauty of cascadia, the flag is a field of white with blue stripes on each side (representing the Pacific ocean and rivers of Cascadia respectively) and a green stripe on the inside of each of these (representing the farmlands and forests). In the centre is a dark-green tree, representing both the heavily forrested nature of the state but also its commitment to growth, laying down strong roots and an appreciation for nature in general. The flag represents Cascadias identity as a calm, arcadian and beautiful state.



The Flag of Lakota (OTL North Dakota):

Lakotah Flag 1.png

Lakota's flag is again a white field, with a slim burgundy stripe at the top, representing the blood it took to win the state and the beautiful sunset skies, and blue stripe at the bottom, representing the rivers of the state. In the centre is a buffalo, representing the outdoorsmanship and frontier lifestyle of the state as well as its wildlife. The red-white-blue colour scheme represents Lakota's American identity. The flag shows Lakota as what it is; a strong, frontier state of ranchers and explorers, rich in produce and strong in men.

The Flag of Dakotah (OTL South Dakota):

Dakotah Flag 2.png


Dakotah's flag is a light blue field with a yellow horse rampant in the centre, surrounded by golden rays of sunlight. The horse represents the states youthful and powerful nature as well as her farmers and outdoorsmanship whilst the sun also represents her youth (rising sun) and her passion. The flag is bright and striking, demonstrating the history and population of the state as well as her budding culture.​

Federation of South Africa
The need for allies in the African continent led to the creation of several puppet states in strategic regions, tasked with defending the several blind spots of the incredibly large Mittelafrika. The most important of these was the Federation of South Africa. Brought together from the former Union of South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, Bechuanaland, Basutoland and Swaziland, its creation was established in the Linz Conference and was carried out on 16 March, 1920, after a German-backed Boer rebellion ousted the transitional Republic of South Africa. The result was a unified Federation of South Africa: an authoritarian state under the absolute governance of Hansel de Kruger. The Dutch and Afrikaner minority in South Africa occupied the ruling, wealthy high class, while the black native population toiled like slaves in factories and plantations. The Germans maintained an active military presence, and indeed the South African economy was geared to be almost dependent on Germany. As a federation, South Africa was divided into several "autonomous" states with their own local leaders and assemblies; the democratic process, however, was a sham, as only those loyal to de Kruger are even allowed to participate at all. While there is strong resentment among the native population, the strong leadership of de Kruger, Germany's military help and the somewhat coinciding political divisions meant that the Federation of South Africa was relatively more stable than most other countries in the region.

The flag, of course, features a tricolor similar to Germany's, only the black is in the lower part and instead of red you have orange: an obvious reference to the Dutch ruling elite.

Islamic States of America.
In a recent future, after the crack of the USA, regions around the Great Lakes, where the majority of the population come from arab and/or islamic countries form a union vaguely based on the Shari'a but without forgetting rthe american democratic principles.

Then the Saudi-Arabia like canton isn't fitting. A full-scale Shari'a based USA would use something different, and if it is Democratic-Islamic, it shouldn't use the Saudi flag as canton, either.

Flag of the Kingdom of Macedonia/Makedon, a state founded by rebels during the First Balkan War when Bulgaria was able to wrest land from the Ottoman Empire. The Bulgarian army made only limited success at first due to better Turkish defenses and was not able to break through the front. The rebellion of the Bulgarians and Greeks alike in the Aegean Makedonia helped turn the tide of the war in the orthodox powers' favor, and the new nation was recognized by Bulgaria and Serbia almost immediately, with Greece's recognition coming at the conclusion of the war, which added the Kingdom of Macedonia, or Makedon as some nationalists chose to call it, to the map of Europe. The state elected the ITTL disinherited Robert Maria Klemens Philipp Joseph of Württemberg as its king, who shocked and amused many by choosing to rule as Philip VII.

The flag's colors are a recognition of the key part the Bulgarians played in the independence movement's success, in the manner that Serbians recognized Russian help and their Pan-Slavism in the flag of Serbia. The shield contains a field of black, representing rebellion in which is inscribed in blood-red the Cross of Veljusa. This device became famous as a regimental standard during the war of independence. The flag also has the odd ratio of 9:14

Kingdom of India
While the Indian subcontinent was certainly the shining jewel of the British Empire, and to the eyes of the world a limitless source of wealth and resources, the Germans knew direct colonial rule would bring about the Kaiser's very undoing, due to the state of absolute disarray that reigned India throughout the immediate postwar months. The Linz Conference offered a solution: dividing the region into several German puppets, with borders drawn along historical, social and geographic lines. The Kingdom of India was the largest of these, created in early 1919. It comprised the Hindu-majority areas, plus Nepal and Jammu and Kashmir. The Kingdom was in reality a collection of princely states under the rule of a monarch, the first of whom being Osman I, previously the Nizam of Hyderabad. Although the Kingdom was prosperous and relatively peaceful, ethnic conflict was widespread, and the different lords and princes jockeyed for positions of power in Osman I's court. German interference was absolute, and Osman I soon found himself relatively powerless. The Germans plundered the Kingdom's resources with little remorse, employing thousands of local Indians who lived in slave-like conditions. The rich high class was the Anglophone and German minorities; the rest usually lived in a state of horrendous poverty.
