It's been a while since I posted any flags, and while I'm still waiting for a few more parts before I present my Communist Austria-Hungary revamps, I've got quite a few other new designs to hold me over in the meantime, so let's get started:
The first three flags on the list here are all Bulgaria-themed, with this one here being my design for the Tsardom of Bulgaria, specifically during the reign of Tsar Boris III from 1918 to 1943.
The second Bulgarian flag here is a revamp of a previous design of mine: that of Legionnaires Bulgaria, the alt-history Fascist version where the government was taken over by the
Union of Bulgarian National Legions. The flag design itself comes from the one found for Fascist Bulgaria in Hearts of Iron 4.
The third and last Bulgarian flag here is, of course, for the People's Republic of Bulgaria (or Socialist Republic of Bulgaria, or Bulgarian People's Republic, or Bulgarian Socialist Republic, or whatever-the-fuck-you-want-to-call-it). It's basically almost-identical to the IRL Communist Bulgarian flag, except that the socialist coat-of-arms is moved from the upper-left corner to the center of the flag, and I added a hammer-and-sickle to the red star. I tried using Paint to manually recolor the wreath's banner to match the flag colors, but I didn't have much success on my part.
On the same Warsaw Pact note, the next flag here is for the Socialist Republic of Romania (or People's Republic of Romania, or Romanian People's Republic, or Romanian Socialist Republic, or you-get-the-joke-by-now). I did my best to recreate the Romanian socialist coat-of-arms, though like with the Bulgarian one, I wasn't able to get the wreath banner to match the flag colors, so I just stuck a hammer-and-sickle on it to (poorly) make up for that deficiency.
On the topic of Communist flags, this next flag takes us all the way to the other side of the continent, to the Far East of Asia - specifically, Manchuria. Here we have a flag for the Manchu Soviet Republic, an alt-history USSR puppet state established after their invasion of Manchuria in the closing days of WWII.
On the flip side of the coin, here is my flag design for Empire of Manchukuo, the Japanese puppet state that controlled Manchuria since 1935 until the end of WW2.
Moving down south on the same continent, here we have the flag for the Democratic Republic of Indochina, the western-democracy-style version of the Indochinese Union flag I previously made. Incidentally, this design was inspired by a HoI4 mod that adds in more
Formable Nations.
Speaking of Formable Nations, here's another flag inspired by the same mod, the Empire of Macedonia, bringing the legendary legacy of Alexander the Great back to life!
On a related topic, here's a recreation I made of a flag I found on
r/Vexillology, for a hypothetical African Union.
Lastly, for something completely different, another flag design for the Unified Syndicates of America.
I have a couple other flags reserved, but I'll hold off on them for now. Hope you enjoyed tonight's entry of flags! Until next time!
