Flag Challenge #237: No humans allowed
Seeing how the last challenge was Fantasy inspiried it seems only fitting the next one would be Sci Fi inspiried.
The challenge is to design a flag for a nation or organization that is run solely by non-humans. Anything goes, sentient AIs, robots, aliens, intelligent animals, etc. You can get as creative as you want. Maybe a society of mutants that are mostly human but are not seen as such by normal humans? Or a group of brains that were once human, but chose to ditch their bodies.
The only rule should be that whatever entity you are creating should be sentient, but shouldn't make you think "that's a human" at first glance. (pop culture settings allowed)

The Brock Confederation is the nonhuman polity inhabiting/dominating the Meles star system.
The Meles system is unusual for its highly lagrangian set up with the Gas Giant Meles II-prime having terraformable planets/moons in its lagrangian points and was therefore assigned a priority settlement sleepship following discovery by the Terran Union.
Unfortunately, like most Gamma Class Sleepships the primary AI, the crew, and most of the genestocks, perished on route and the secondary AIs were forced to improvise uplift from their remaining supplies. With the system having the name Meles, badgers were designated the main stock to uplift from.
Successful colonies were established upon the trojans Meles II-L4 "Taxonia" and II-L5 "Wisconsin" which later colonised the remaining terraformed worlds including Meles II-L3 "Antimele" and the future capital moon II-L1 "Milly" which housed most of the AI and tech.

Design a flag for a city state that did not exist OTL and that espouses some ideal civic tenet.

Questions and Suggestions welcome - I fear it is too vague!
Anything not too ASBWhat kind of civic tenets are you looking for?
Well, no "every good Citizen wears a fake head" sort of thing. Unless it obviously springs from their religion of the Big Giant Head of course.Umm... for example?...
I think I understand, I guess, thanks.Well, no "every good Citizen wears a fake head" sort of thing. Unless it obviously springs from their religion of the Big Giant Head of course.
Generally I'm after believable "Good Citizen" ideology even if it's not actually followed like "The American Way" or "Revolutionary Republican" or "Soviet Worker".
Doesn't have to be blatant and can just be mentioned in passing.
Does that sense?
