Why does the flag look like Zaire's but with different colors and the text "Asimov Foundation" written around it?

Hurrah, hurrah, for Texacor hurrah!
Hurrah for the Texacor flag that bears the stars and bars!

Visible in the background, the nearest battle flag is the Texacor national standard and behind it is the banner of the Third Regiment, properly styled the Third Acadien Marine Regiment (Camp Gautier Guards), Second Acadienne Marine Brigade, Third Amphibious Division

Yes the aesthetic obviously borrows heavily from that style

Single Shot Texacor "Snider-Enfield" rifles?

Here is the explanatory text for the armaments on display:

In the depicted scene, the Marines of the Third Acadien Regiment are armed with the standard Texacoran issue Pattern '57 Port Faulkner Rifle-Musket. Capable of firing either standard expanding ball projectiles or heavy armor-piercing slugs, the Port Faulkner rifle-musket is a versatile and accurate single-shot percussion arm suitable for both shipboard and infantry use, though in order to fire armor-piercing rounds, its delicate breechloading block must be temporarily locked into the fixed muzzleloading configuration in order to withstand the heavy powder discharge required for hypervelocity slugs. Each rifle-musket is issued with a matching Model '51 sword-socket bayonet, a multipurpose implement that is often pressed into service by Texacoran Marines and Militiamen as an entrenching tool and cooking utensil among other things.

The Third Regiment's commanding officer, a major of the Old Breed officer-aristocracy's Acadien branch, is armed with a ceremonial Mameluke sword and a Lefebvre Heavy Frame Revolver, both of modern manufacture. The Lefebvre revolver is an eight-shot percussion revolver, capable of firing either standard heavy ball, anti-armor impact slugs, or powder-and-shot canister cartridges. Although the more traditionalist officer graduates of the Texacoran Tactical College prefer to set an example in rifle-musketry proficiency for their men by carrying ancient automatic carbines and smart rifles into battle, not every Old Breed officer is fortunate enough to inherit such a prized ancestral heirloom in functional condition and even fewer can afford the exorbitant expense of procuring stocks of surviving ancient ammunition. For these less fortunate Texacoran officers, the Lefebvre revolver offers a practical modern alternative for self-defense on the battlefield.

It has come to my attention that no one really cared about Sri Lankan flags, and they have some of the most beautiful and the most weird flags out there.

For starters, the provincial flags are already weird enough:

800px-Flag_of_the_Uva_Province_%28Sri_Lanka%29_SVG.svg.png


Flag_of_the_Southern_Province_%28Sri_Lanka%29.PNG


Flag_of_the_Sabaragamuwa_Province_%28Sri_Lanka%29.PNG


Flag_of_the_North_Western_Province_%28Sri_Lanka%29.PNG


630px-Flag_of_the_Northern_Province.svg.png


Flag_of_the_North_Central_Province_%28Sri_Lanka%29.PNG


Eastern_Province_Flag_%28SRI_LANKA%29.png


Central_Province.png


But former kingdoms that resided on it have flags like that as well.

Sorry for flooding the thread, but I think this just looks so weird it has to be spread.

The United Maritimes is the official name for the political union consisting of the former Kingdoms of England and Ireland, the Welsh Principalities of Norwall, Sowall, & the Royal March, and the Channel Principalities of Brittany & Normandy.

The union has its origins with Henry II Curtmantle and the lines established by his first and third sons following the rebellion of his second Henry the Young Lion over control of Normandy and Flanders, the latter coming from his mother Sybill, daughter of William Clito former Count of Flanders and claimant to Normandy. A coalition of the crown prince William the Winged (Henry's governor in Ireland), his 3rd son Richard (established as Duke of Brittany), and Count Phillip of Flanders comprehensively defeated and killed young Henry. Henry II himself was crippled and thereafter forced to delegate much to his remaining sons. William would inherit England, Ireland, and Normandy, eventually getting a crown for Ireland to leave his second son Richard; his line would establish the 3 Principalities of Wales and later reunite Ireland with England. Richard of Brittany would inherit Anjou-Maine-Touraine; his line would use their family alliance to keep Brittany separate from France and achieve full independence with their inheritance of England-Ireland.

The flag of Brittany is the traditional arms of Richard II and bears 4 angevin leopards between a white cross on red, a reference to the 3rd Crusade.
The flag of Normandy is based on the arms of the crown princes of England - a blue bordered red with white crosses - and Ireland - a red bordered blue with white crosses (William's line having dropped the angevin leopard during the 3rd Crusade). A golden rose is added representing Prince Matthew of Normandy's role during the Synodic Wars.

Scotland gained independence from the UK in 2023 following a new referendum in the wake of the economic disaster of nationalist rule and several years of anti-euro isolationism. At first, an act of dissolution of the union took place, through which the country was restored to its status as an independent Kingdom of Scotland ruled by William IV in personal union with England. But after two years of agitation from both nationalist and cosmopolitan angles the new Scots state broke off its membership in the Commonwealth, applied for membership in the EU and declared the rights of the King of England null and void. A written constitution created the Republic of Scotland, reorganizing parliament into a unicameral Senate with head of state a popularly elected President.

A wave of anti-monarchy agitation swept across the British isles during and following these events, and a wave of nationalist, monarchist reaction followed with it. No one predicted, however, the meteoric rise of the radical right in the remainder of the UK. Sinn Féin majority rule in Northern Ireland during the early 2020s paved a road to peaceful reunification that was violently opposed by protestant colonials, who restarted widespread violence against Irish people and culture. With a referendum in progress for peaceful reunification, feelings ran high on both sides and a shooting war between the radical militias began. The Sinn Féin administration declared the independence of Northern Ireland after the results of the referendum came out in favor, although widespread boycotts were seen to have played a part and fraud was accused by some which became embedded in the hysteria. The UK government adopted a policy of non-intervention, letting the north go its own way.

This decision was seen as betrayal and treason by the right. The BNP surged to become the face a new nationalist order that would restore the UK and its international power as a worldwide reactionary force. The military was sent into Northern Ireland to arrest the conspirators who had declared independence and restore order. By now, however, the Republic of Northern Ireland government had successfully negotiated union with the Irish state. The UK military forces ended up blatantly attacking ROI forces helping Sinn Féin members to escape. Before the confusion could be settled by cooler heads, fighting was already widespread and chaotic. Air strikes only made things far, far worse. Facing total war in Ireland, the BNP became instantly unpopular and was ousted in an emergency election led by several heroic parliamentarians and peace negotiations followed. By this point, however, the Irish had occupied much of the territory and the resulting agreement officially transferred Ulster to the Republic of Ireland. The UK in 2030 adopted this new flag reflecting its status as the union only of England and the recreated Principality of Wales.

Considering how popular the dragon flag is would not red cross fimbriated in white on a green field be better?

Yeah. The green and white flag of Wales is awesome and more popular/likely, but there's something I find kinda cool about combining the crosses on the St. George and St. David in analogy to how the St. George is charged over the Scots saltire in the current flag, with the Scots blue rather than the English white serving as the background.

It's better than most attempts to wedge Wales in. Though the thing reminds me of at least one version of Sicily I've done:

The Blessed Kingdom
blessedrealm1-png.339169


Situated on the islands of Valetta and Gozo are the last remnants of the Blessed Realm, the residence of Alberto III King of Jerusalem, Sicily, the Arberine, Sardinia, and Carthaginia, Duke of Naxos, Grandmaster of the Knights of Solomon, Lord of the Tyrrhene, Defender of the Faith.
The Realm has its origins in the purchase of Sicily by Richard of Cornwall from Pope Innocent IV, securing it by feat of arms and marrying his son Henry to Isabella Conradina the Hohenstaufen Queen of Jerusalem (and claimant to Sicily).
Despite claims of an origin in St Piran's Flag, and vice versa, the flag appears to have its basis in the simplification of Henry I's arms of argent cross patty on gold with a black border containing 12 bezants. A banner in the Gelre Roll shows a golded edged cross on black, where the cross does not stride the full field - a square or greek cross..
During the Valona dynasty 2 flags/banners come in to use - one the plain argent and gold cross on black, the other with 4 golden crowns for the royal command.
With the accession of the Duke of Carthage, Grandmaster of the Knights of Solomon, the current flag appears - a white cross bordered in gold upon a black field strewn with argent crosses.
