I don't know much about the conventions for British ensigns. Is it possible to use a black ensign?

About the astronomical symbols, it would be great. Not sure about Mars, as it's more associated to the male gender than to the planet.

Historically, british colonies used blue ensign for government vessels and red ensigns for civilian craft. A few colonies would later adopt or be given other colours but there never were any black ensigns. Since however these are "space colonies", there would be a certain symbolic value to using black.

Loved it, Marc! There’s some retrofuturistic quality on them! My TL has reached the British Luna crown colony, so I’ll repost there!

I'm not sure if anyone might be able to create a Wikipedia-style map that has the United States east of the Mississippi coloured in (along the boundary of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana), including the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia? I just can't seem to work it out on Inkscape.

Would anyone be willing to make a worlda-style map of North America where there's:
- An independent California controlling OTL Alta California and the Baja California peninsula;
- An independent Republic of Texas, with the panhandle belonging to Canada, and excluding the part belonging to French Louisiana;
- A British Canada including Oregon Country, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and the Upper Peninsula;
- A French Louisiana including Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas to the Neches River;
- An independent New England, which includes the Six New England states, New York State, and New Jersey excluding South Jersey;
- An independent United States of America, including Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and South Jersey;
- An independent Virginia comprising Virginia, Kentucky, and the Northwest Territory excluding Michigan and Upper Peninsula;
- An independent Southron League comprising of North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama*; and
- A British Florida (composed of East and West Florida)

*Mississippi and Alabama would exclude the areas that would be part of West Florida

Could somebody make me an icon for this party?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Polish_Electoral_Committee
You may know that I'm currently participating in an election game called 'Fresh from the Forge of Nations', which is set in interwar Lithuania, more specifically it started in 1919. I'm leading the CPEC and I am planning on doing a series of character bios to enhance some of the RP elements of the game, and I wish to have an icon or flag that I can display at the beginning of each bio. The Icon/flag should include both Polish and Lithuanian imagery (perhaps something from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth?).

If someone does make me an icon or flag, I'll be sure to give credit to whoever created it when I post my first bio.
 

Pragmatic Progressive

I love this thread and most of the flags in it, and now, once again, I have a request myself:

Could you make flags for a theocratic-syndicalist regime in:
  • South Germany
  • Austria
  • Italy?
The nation's politics are rather theocratic à la Iran (centred on Catholicism), but the syndicates (=trade union/s) do have real power, they aren't just rubber-stamp. The economies of these nations are socialist, i.e. the means of production are in common ownership (this applies especially to land). The nations are quite authoritarian, some would even say totalitarian, but somewhat more liberal than OTL GDR or USSR.

The October Revolution occurred ITTL (at least in a similar form, but without Lenin), but was relatively quickly crushed.
It is for the 1900 Map Game in my signature, I would love to show some flags (as I very much like the idea of theo-syndicalism).
 

Swede

Could someone pretty please make a map of the Polish-Lithuania-Swedish-Muscovite Commonwealth of Tsar Sigismund the Great?
i.e. Sigismund doesn't lose his Swedish crown and does manage to win the throne in Moscow.

Some sub-quotes missing, but here's where I got the idea (in the Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread)

There were three different proposals between 1574 and the 1770s to include Muscovy/Russia into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but it never came to fruition.

The closest this thing came to fruition was during the Troubles when the PLC invaded Russia, even capturing Moscow. King Sigismund III Vasa wanted to make his son Tsar, but the Russian nobles infuriated him by insisting Sigismund's son convert to Orthodoxy, so Sigismund declared himself Tsar, resulting in the Poles getting kicked out of Moscow.
He pulled a similar stunt on Sweden a few years before. He tried converting the Swedes to Catholicism in violation of an agreement not to in exchange for becoming Sweden's king, so Sweden violently broke away from the PLC.
If it was able to stabilize itself, yes, but this expanded Commonwealth would've inevitably been Polonized as time went on. Since the Russians saw Orthodoxy as indivisible from their national identity, this would've made the Commonwealth unstable.

Nathan Bernacki said:
I agree, but you have to understand that Catholicism has always been a part of Polish national identity. It was crucial that this identity be preserved in a age where the surrounding countries followed some form of Protestantism, especially Sweden, which would become a rival of the PLC for influence in the region. Having a Orthodox/Lutheran branch of the PLC would be anathema to any Pole of the day.
Again, Sigismund III saw it as crucial that his nation preserve it's roots as a Catholic nation. To him, a multi-faith empire was out of the question.
