It is a part of Ryan's Theology, the Great Chain. As a part of Objectivism, the Great Chain symbolism is when everyone influence the economy, and everything else by their own acts, and works. By his or her natural endeavors to produce, buy and sell. In that, every individual is a "link" in this Great Chain. This now goes beyond the economy and into a State.
The Wings are a bit of art deco flair that fits in Bioshock and 1920s Italy. (Which most of the major cities look like being rename a Greco-Roman/Egyptian name.)

A very simple flag of a surviving or resurgent Dutch Republic aka the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands, made primarily for my Vox Populi world. The full write-up accompanying this flag can be found here.
The orange represents William of Orange, also known as William the Silent, who was an important leader during the Dutch Revolt that resulted in the independence of the Dutch Republic. The seven stars represent the Seven Provinces of Guelders, Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Overijssel, Frisia, and Groningen and Ommelanden. The blue is customary on Dutch flags but I suppose could be inferred to represent their seafaring nature or whatnot.

Unclear if this one fits the bill tbh but could not think of anything else!
The Kingdom of Eternal Harmony
In his youth our Great Ever King discovered the Pendulum of Time; that history was forever switching between Eras of the Mickle Folk, through to Man, through to the Small Folk. Each Race being able to view a facet of the Cosmic Harmony - the Mickle see the Harmony of Stone and are great builders and metalsmiths, the Small Folk see the Harmony of Life and work fabulous gardens and menageries, Men see Harmony of the Void and can build such engines of destruction and war - and only hybrids sharing the Sight of each Race they belong, hybrids becoming great mages.
Being a hybrid of all 3 Races our Great Ever King saw the full Harmony and was discontent with the Pendulum, he sought to bring the Harmony to All. But his fellow Mages stood against him preferring to maintain their rule over those they saw as lesser and he was cast out from their company.
Our Great Ever King was able to set up our Home, the Kingdom of Eternal Harmony, as a beacon to all who sought True and Full Harmony. Many are those who come to Him and those worthy are granted Jewels of the True Light enabling them to commune with each and our Great Ever King over any distance.
We stand together as a shield against the Tyrant Mages and their deceived masses under the Banner of the One True Light:
Cuyuş-ı Dehlevî
Here is the flag used by the Cuyuş-ı Dehlevî (Army of Dehlevî), which is an expeditionary force formed by the orders of the Caliph of a resurgent Ottoman Empire to contain the British expansionism in India, restore the authority of the Mughal Emperor and protect the Muslims there. (Its from a Revolutionary-Napoleonic wars role-play that we are playing)

This is the flag I modded into Victoria 2 for a fascist Arabia. Nothing special, just wanted a flag that mirrored Saudi Arabia without being too similar.
The glorious flag of the French People's Republic, to be used soon-ish in my TL, Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree.

not sure. It's a bunch of flags I made a long time ago, to toy with flag designs, colors, etc.
They're interesting enough. Probably good for some hypothetical Socialist state with rich history. With some intuitive backstory for the colors they'd be very intriguing.
Although some of the colors are sort of strange for a national flag, like the brown, bright orange and yellow-green.
^this one is kind of weird
^I am a fan of this one
^this one was a flop. A good example of how not to design a flag
^a communist flag
^communist US, perhaps?
These are the rest of the flags I have.
A lot of those look like city or regional flags somewhere in Europe or Latin America.
A brown star? Is it supposed to represent multiculturalism? If so, who are blue people? Seems a clumsy way to represent a multiracial society. The best example (without using ethnic symbols) is probably the original Republic of China flag, the five-coloured flag.
That could also be interpreted to mean the sea and the sky (blue), snow and mountains (white), soil (brown), and something socialism related (red)

This past long weekend we visited Historic Fort Malden in Amherstburg, Ontario and I found a flag I had not seen before. It was a recreation of one flown from the schooner Anne during one of the failed invasions of Upper Canada during the rebellions of 1837-38. So, naturally I made an image of it.
It was for the "Republic of Canada" and the two stars represented Upper and Lower Canada and the crescent moon represented the secret network of Hunters Lodges in Upper Canada and the nearby American States that were formed to support the rebellion.
Here's a thumb of the photo I took of flag recreation at Fort Malden.
