On the flip side, with both capitalisation and spelling, we never have problems distinguishing Labor party from labour movement.

Begs the question: Are there any significant historical flags that have an optical illusion type of aspect to them?

Maybe with the use of proportional representation, something like what happened in the Netherlands could be possible. Traditionally they had a Protestant, Catholic, liberal (implicitly Protestant) and a socialist party; that was enough for counterbalancing. Substitute Catholic for Muslim and...

If you go to the URL in the bottom right of that alt US image, it expands and you end up here: http://andrewshears.com/2011/12/08/the-united-states-that-couldve-been/ In particular: More helpfully, here's the timeline: http://andrewshears.com/2012/07/13/us-that-couldve-been-timeline/ Edit to...

If you think you'll be drawing more flags or similar graphics in the future, I recommend you learn how to use a vector graphics editor, such as Illustrator or Inkscape (I use Inkscape).

As in, fully flat graphics? Sure. http://imgh.us/jon123454321.svg

It is possible though. Just have to structure the ballot to be candidate centric rather than party centric, and use single transferable vote or or reweighted approval voting.

I think they'd want to continue being part of the trade bloc, but OTL suggests they'll want a decidedly independent foreign policy. Much will depend on their perception of the USSR and Japan, I think.

So just the Southern Cross for Victoria? Any ideas as to how to unite them?

How about a (centred) roundel the full height of the flag?

Queensland, or West Africa?

Well, TTL's Depression/Recovery analogue has shifted the Overton window further left. And the swing-back has really only just started.

Modern-day analogy: Do Glaswegians get PTSD from bar fights?

See, The West Wing isn't childish escapism. It's adultish escapism. Donchaknowanything?

As close as possible to the laboratory that built it, you say... So, first nuclear test somewhere in the frozen north?

I wasn't dissing you, @Me! -- I just find it so awesome that the Shetland Islands, which are so heavily Norwegian-influenced, have a Nordic cross flag in Scottish colours.

That seems eminently appropriate!

Shipping distance (and therefore capacity). There was quite a bit of discussion on this... probably 200 page ago. In OTL, they couldn't go through the Mediterranean (as Italy was hostile), nor even much of the Atlantic (as France was occupied). They had to absolutely minimise shipping distance...

Why not have an asymmetric tricolour with the red at the hoist and taking up about half the total area? It is, after all, common to all four Allies' flags...
