It looks like a Navy ensign more than anything else.
Honestly though I don't think a Japanese Republic would even really change the flag as the Flag itself is representative of the Japanese nation rather than being representative of the Imperial family or system.
A Spanish Republican flag based on the DDR naval flag.
And a bonus. I tried to make the Far Eastern Republic flag pretty.
Please excuse the shoddy craftsmanship, my first attempt doing something like this.

Two pretty basic flags that are part of my new Million Shades of Red project I just started up on the Wiki box thread. General concept is, pretty ASB I admit, a world revolution takes place in the first half of the 20th century and the world is reorganised into socialist countries that vary from the brutal and horrific to the free, prosperous and happy.
The Compact of France is a grim, militaristic example of the former;
Whilst the Commonwealth of Britain is an up and up example of the later:

Another from my Balance of Power ATL. The Republic of Baden.
During the revolution of 1848, rioting students ripped of the bottom gold triangle of the flag that had been the symbol of Baden for centuries and sewed on a back triangle back to represent their protests for democracy for the people of Germany. When welcoming the ambassador from France, the first country to recognise the republic, stories tell of the newly elected deputies to the Landtag scrambling to find national symbols that spoke of Baden but not the monarchy. The chief of staff of one of the deputies produced a flag that he said came from those first protests a little over a year before. Later, when the French ambassador asked the name of the chief of staff, he was told "Friedrich Oswald".

"The recent assassination of Napoleon III by members of the Carbonari, however, had caused a schism in Cispadanian politics. Felice Orsini and the other members of his crew had worn green, white and red tri-colour handkerchiefs in their jacket pockets based on the protest flags that had become popular in 1848 as the symbol for Italian unification. It had even been adopted as the national flag of the Republic of Tuscany. modified from the version suggested by the first Present, the former Duke Leopold II, that had contained the coat of arms of his duchy. Napoleon III had been seen as being pro-Italian unity and a man to be admired, thanks to his younger days as part of decentralised movement that killed him, but leaks from French newspaper La Presse had changed that. Leaflets from Rome and pamphlets from Florence were distributed across the central Italian peninsula that expounded on how the secret agreement between His Imperial Majesty and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Count Cavour was a betrayal of republican ideals. It signalled, they said, that the Savoyards were just puppets of the French, indeed that they were actually more French than Italian.
"That the tri-colour was a popular symbol was undeniable, even to the Tuscans who were now slightly ashamed of it, and republican fervour called for the nation to be named the Cispadane Republic, after the previous country of that name from 1796 before the original Napoleon, now tarred by association, declared himself emperor. That the flag was a tri-band instead of a tri-colour yet contained the same three colours was seen as fortuitous during those first sessions of the new legislature. The deputies from Tuscany, with a decade of experience in the practicalities of democratic rule, were not particularly anti-imperialist having elected their old Duke as president of their republic not once but twice. They were inclined, though, to accept the Savoyard-expansionist claims of the pamphlets and did not want to once again bow to an unelected monarch. This shared sentiment is what brought the new nation together in the first place and they papered over any disagreements with proposals for the new three-banded flag of the Republic.
"If you've ever wondered why your conservative relatives from the northern parts of the country scoff at your political leanings as 'non è orizzontale', or why you both insult each other in jest as 'savoiardo', that is why."
-- excerpted from "Italia: Un ex e futuro nazione", and editorial in La Nazione, 3 September 1996.

That's beautiful, but how big is that? My Chrome page keeps crashing when I go near the flag.
Oh. I'll fix that. It's still only 10% of the original size.
Edit: Nvm, it's the original size, I forgot to resize it.

The flag of the Palatinate Republic is a modification of the flag of the old Electoral Palatinate from which it descends. The background is barry lozengy dexter azure on argent, rather than the sinister of the Electorate, in order to symbolise the "right" thinking of democracy. Defaced with a crownless lion palatine signifying that the citizens no longer bow to a monarch.

Flag of the Oceania Free State. Its for a Draka-lite timeline I'm working on where the Pacific and South Asia is taken over by a hybrid of Japan and the Dutch. The lotus is a common symbol among Asian cultures that's why it was chosen. Declares independence after Napoleon conquers its mother country and keeps it after the Congress of Vienna

That's because it is a Naval Ensign.

Ah cheers! It's not specifically, although I did see a play of 1984 literally a day or two before I designed the flag so it could be subconcious! In fact thats part of what inspired me to do this project.
I just thought it was a cool symbol that's both Socialistic and Militaristic in one
