Can someone please make a map of 1914 Europe, with one change - have Germany and Austria-Hungary keep all of what they got in the partitions of Poland. (IOTL, Russia took some of that in 1815)

That's a fair point, though it should be noted that quite a few nations have coats of arms which do not actually resemble their national flags in terms of design - consider England, which uses the cross of Saint George on its standards, but the three lions on its shields! (I admit this may be a case of wishing to have my cake and eat it, but I do think the logic is sound enough anyway).
Thank You most kindly for your courtesy and your generosity! May I please request a version of your design that shows the shield separate from Saint Piran's cross? (Thank You again for your consideration).

That's usually completely unrelated arms and flags though. A comparison would be if england used a red cross on white as its flag but a gold cross on red as its COA. Its not impossible but it would look, well, odd.

Flags for this. (Old stuff between me and @Joshua Ben Ari.)
Basic backstory: Earth colonized much of the Solar System before Earth is wiped out sometime in the 22th century, leaving the rest of Sol to fend for themselves.
Mars: Federal constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy. (think Canada/Australia; includes Mars, Deimos and Phobos, 4 Vesta, Ceres) Primarily European, and British/Commonwealth. Joint Windsor-Bonapartist Monarchy.
Luna: Unitary presidential republic. (includes Moon, Venus, Mercury; claims the Earth ruins as well) Official the true Successor to the United Nations/an UN-like organization/united Earth government.

for mars, the monarchy could be represented by a design that combines a simplified version of the Union Jack and the diamond patterned flags used by some imperial french client states and regiments. You could then put this in canton of a blue ensign defaced with the astronomical symbol for mars.
For Luna, what about a flag that keeps the general design of the UN flag but replaced the earth map with a crescent and changing the colours to grey and gold.
These are really awesome and I really love the deigns and ideas behind them, thank you.
@Joshua Ben Ari, what do you think?
Hi, recently I made this card for my own universe. I would like to try to redo it in Worlda format but unfortunately I can't produce something of good quality. I wanted to know if a charitable soul was ready to give me a helping hand by reproducing the map with only the rivers. My map corresponds in size to Europe with in addition the Mediterranean and North Africa.
It matches this map a little bit to give you an idea, but if it's bigger I don't mind (it might even work for me).
Thank you in advance to whoever does me this favor.
On looking at this again, I decided that rather than going with the less-good option of the dolphin, I would take this opportunity to improve my Inkscape skills and just draw the shark supporter myself, from a pic. I'm actually quite pleased with how it came out* - I hope you like it too!
Pacifica 2011-2013:
*Actually, looking at it now, the black is a bit dominant. Would you prefer grey for the shark instead?

Damn. Great Work. You are going above and beyond what would normally be expected. Thank you so much.
As for the colouring of the Shark I am not sure but I kinda feel like grey would be better too. Or maybe the blue that is used on the shark supporter of the modern Solomon Islands Coat of Arms (that one is viewed from below instead of the side of course but I think you get what I mean)?
Here's your map using the green/blue of the worlda. I haven't resized it, as that would then involve re-checking/re-doing all the coastlines and I don't have time to do that - sorry.

I have a bit of spare time to tackle this. What sort of dimensions / file format are you looking for?
I normally do not ask for a request but would anyone happen to have a flag of Mexico if it was colonized by a surviving Al-Andalus?
Not really any historical flags to go on in regard to Al-Andalus (Cordoba and the Umayyad Caliphate date to before there was such a thing as a single national or subnational flag) but one possibility would be to keep the OTL mexican colours but put the shahadah within a khatim pattern.
