No, it doesn't seem to work, Imajin. I can see what you're trying to do but the eye just goes straight to the English cross and...

Wait. Maybe it would work if I used the English lions instead of the St Georges cross...
Here are two variations. I could still use a better picture of the 3 lions though...

The first one reminds me of my commie Ireland...

 

[Thande]

And here's one for Thande's ME nation in his HP Parody..the Bolivar Confederation...

Good one, Oth.

Don't suppose you want to do one for Aussey's Quadruple Monarchy of wherever it was?

No, it doesn't seem to work, Imajin. I can see what you're trying to do but the eye just goes straight to the English cross and...

Your eyes are only drawn to the English cross because you're English...

But I see what you mean, there probably should be a shield instead of the large dominating cross...

 

[Thande]

Your eyes are only drawn to the English cross because you're English...

If you want to split hairs the St George's cross isn't "English", but Norman (or Norman-introduced, anyway)...

 

[Nicole]

Well, er...

What about this flag? Though the origin of the St. Patrick's cross is disputed, and seems to be an English invention, it's the easiest flag to use for ATL versions of the Union Jack...

As soon as I figure out how to do MBarry's Republic of everywhere else...

And it was the Quadruple Monarchy of Liberia-Liechtenstein-Laos-Lahore....

 

[Othniel]

Just as Doctor Thande Ordered...

 

[Wendell]

These are great flags. I may have to make some....

Crazy UKs....

First up, just to complement the Jewish England, Jewish Scotland:

Next up, the United Kingdom of England and Wales:

Third, a TL where Northern Ireland is way important in the UK:

Fourth, the United Kingdom of Scotland and Georgia:

Finally, and the one that turned out best, the United Kingdom of Scotland and... Guernsey!

If the quality's spotty, it's cause I whipped them all up in half an hour using flags.net and paint....

 

[Wendell]

Based on a flag displayed earlier....

How might this flag come to exist, and for what polity?

 

[Magnificate]

PM sent. For now you may post in Thande's thread.

Good one. Reminiscent of the times when the Scots had their own version of the Union Jack, with their cross in front:

As opposed to the version used in England at that time, the ancestor of the current Union Jack:

Orginal base for the Federal Republic of Lower Canada from Plethora of Princes...

Based off this flag, I got the one attacted for the Republic of Upper Canada from Plethora of Princes;

Who's afraid of double representation? Not I!!

But that's only one lion, Oth. The number (and colour) are very important for the heraldic significance. You need three to represent England (two, for instance, represent Normandy).

And one represents Aquitaine, yeah I know... But it looks better this way. Maybe in a world where Aquitaine was elevated to kingdom status and then reunited with England...hmmm....

Of course, England is three lions (or leopards really) because the Normans added one to the two of Normandy. Throw in Aquitaine as well and maybe the full thing will be four lions.

Whilst looking through flags of the world I couldn't help noticing...

Why is the flag of Landshark's hometown so evil-looking? :

Besides If I make it black look, presonal union with the countess of Flanders!
