Isn't Goalkeeper Dutch?

Zebras are notoriously difficult to domesticate. Zebra-horse hybrids tend to be sterile. You are probably better off just breeding the captured horses.

Very nice. Are there any political issues with placing the blue on top?

1. Any explanation? 2. North or south of the 28th? 3. If the canton is supposed to be the Bonny Blue, it should probably be darker. 4. Why not align the canton with the top stripe?

I'm not completely happy with the cactus-wreath, but I did steal it from wikimedia's Mexican flag. Maybe it looks too literal Let me know if you what any changes or fine-tuning like color shades. I can send the svg as well.

Is the cactus inside the orb? By 'motif' I assume you want something more stylized than realist. Is that correct? Any particular type of cactus? Prickly Pear? Saguaro?

Unfortunately, Greece is one of the less-developed ideas. I do know it includes Cyprus and some minor additions in East Thrace, including Adrianople. The city was the site of two major battles/sieges during the Balkans War in the early XXth Century. During the peace negotiations to follow, the...

Thanks. There are several threads that I'm trying to tie together into a coherent timeline. Some highlights: France: France is the dominate power in Europe. ITTL Charles the Bold had a son, Philip (no relation), and lived longer. Philip inherited Charles's vast lands. His army used the...

Some incoherent ramblings: Albania: Taken from the chief of the OTL coat of arms of the House of Kastrioti of which Skanderbeg is the most prominent member. Andorra: Based on OTL flag. ITTL, vertical tri-colors are strongly associated radical republican movements. The horizontal tri-color is...

I'm not sure adding more Nicene subjects for the Visigoths to rule over will increase their stability. I think it makes it even more likely that they convert. They'll need the bureaucracy of the church to rule France.

Earlier on, when Christianity was still in the minority in Rome, Arianism lost on several grounds. Some major ones: Athanasianism/Nicene Christianity better (within the mindset and worldview of the day) answered many questions as to how Christ provided eternal life. Arianism was less...

You need to start with how these prerequisites are met to understand how they would have changed society and history. I don't think you can fast-forward through that. If you do, you're dealing with an ISOT.

Indeed, for the formulation of the laws concerning the sun and planets. But this does not establish the laws as universal --- there might be something special about the sun. Kepler, and later Wendelin, showed that the Galilean moons also obeyed the laws in their obits of Jupiter. This confirmed...

Newton's work on gravitation has several prerequisites. In addition to calculus and Newton's Laws of Motion, you need the equivalent of Kepler's precise measurements of planetary orbits. This, of course, requires high quality telescopes. It also requires a heliocentric model that permits...

Completely agree.

Sorry, I meant a recognizable as a stylized bird. At least to me it is.

Charles the Bold has a son and secures his kingdom. His great-grandson inherits France, eventually leading to the United Kingdom of France and Burgundy. It later became the United Kingdom of France, Burgundy, and Tlemcen, but the flag didn't change.

I like that stylized version of the bird. Recognizable, but still an easy-to-manufacture flag. I might open the wings a little at the top to give impression of a crescent.

I was thinking a similar thing or the winged leopard from the seal of Samarkand (from wikipedia), surrounded by stars, but I can't draw that well. I though about a crescent with stars on a sky blue field, but ended up being rather close to OTL's Turkic Council (from wikipedia): I ended...
