The United Kingdom of Bulgaria and Serbia
Brief History
The United Kingdom has its roots in the Great War where the Hungarian Empire had coopted Slavic nationalism in its Serbian and Bulgarian provinces in order to destabilise the Slavic provinces within the Turkish Empire. With the defeat of the Turks but the collapse of Hungary the Western Allies obtained the creation of the Kingdoms of Serbia and of Bulgaria as buffer states.
Both Kingdoms survived the Socialist Wars by embracing South-Slavic Nationalism, and thus a closer alliance, becoming founder members of the Yugoslav Confederation in opposition to the Socialist Codominion [of Ardelia, Hungary, and Wallachia].
The withdrawal of Illyria and the Serbian Succession Crisis almost broke the Confederation however Prince Milutin of Macedonia popularised public opinion to continue further political union and the resultant Referendum for a Complete Union was comfortably won by the unionists; thereafter King Boris II of Bulgaria accepted the title of Tsar of Yugoslavia.
Flag
The original Confederal flag was a triband of the 3 founders:
The UK flag merges elements from both the Serbian and Bulgarian flags in a new way.
- Illyria - white 6pt star on red
- Serbia - blue cross and firesteels on white
- Bulgaria - red cross on white bordered in red with gold roundels
It is a blue cross edged in white over a red field; each corner bears a golden firesteel; over the centre is a circular version of the Tsar's (new) simple arms - a black cross pattee on gold bordered in black with 12 golden roundels.
What's with the beehive anyway? Is Margibi a producer of honey or are they largely Mormon?My redesign of the county flags of Liberia. Note I also used an alternate flag for Liberia itself, which is based on a real life proposal.
I tried to have the same symbolism as teh original flags ... if they had any symbolism.
The original flag has a "brown beehive [sitting] atop the green base, with a white flower having a yellow stamen and green stem standing at front".What's with the beehive anyway? Is Margibi a producer of honey or are they largely Mormon?
