Counterfactual Flag Gallery

Magnificate · Oct 13, 2006

I'd like to present my new website:
http://www.freewebs.com/magnificate/

Similarly to Diamond's alt-carthography site, this is an on-line gallery featuring my best flags.

Diamond has a cartography site??

(I'll have a look at your flags later when I'm not on a public computer, sorry for the non sequitur)

It's even on the same server.

I didn't know either. Did he announce it?

Actually, your flag of France-Poland is possible, but it wouldn't be the Bourbons, it would be the Valois:

Of course, it's only a scant bit more plausible, but that's beside the point.

Very fine flags, Magnificate.

Just one thing, your Scotland-Cornwall... Cornwall is represented by a normall white cross on black, not a saltire:

Well... isn't it on my flags as well? Or I am failing to see a mistake?

Flag of Albion Isle
White saltire on dark sky-blue Field represent Scotland, or Alba as it is called ITTL. Cross of St. Piran, white cross on black background, represents Kernow, that is Cornwall.

Flag of League of Mercia, Cornwall and Pictland
White cross on black background is the symbol of Cornwall.[...]

You have a diagonal cross, like St. Paddy or St. Andy.

Does anyone have a link to Diamonds website?

Nekromans · Oct 14, 2006

Yes, you can find it here.

I still don't know what are you people talking about.

Normal cross stands for Cornwall and diagonal cross stands for Scotland.

Oh, I see. The position of the black and blue just seems a little odd. Still I suppose the alternative would violate the rules of heraldry because you'd have black against blue.

Thande · Oct 14, 2006

I'd have done something like this myself... (I prefer the top one, though it implies that Cornwall is dominant, which is a bit unlikely)

The black and blue are too close, though- it's kind of hard to distinguish them.

You and your broken monitor, ruining everything.

Thande · Oct 14, 2006

No, Imajin does have a point here. Maybe if I put narrower white lines to separate the black and blue areas...

Thanks for the useless link to the forums search feature.

Does anyone have a direct link to Diamonds website?

Diamond · Oct 14, 2006

Magnificate: Most excellent site! I'm glad I could provide inspiration.

Look at post #3 of this very thread.

Some very nice flags. I especially like the Cromwellian commonwealth flag.

Mind if I borrow it?

Very nice gallery
