Question, what do you guys think a Japanese/British Union flag would look like? A Union Jack with a meatball?
About what I was thinking myself
Smartass...
Here was my take.
Huh... I could see that as a navel jack or a special use flag for sure!
Agreed.

Agreed.
There is also my post.
Oh yeah. Forgot to reply to it.
It's cool, but doesn't have a union flag look to it. It's just the Japanese Navel ensign with some blue added in. Good for something for sure, but doesn't match this.
Hey, posted the wrong versions by mistake before. Here we go.
The Philippine-American War (1899-1902) was a terrible tragedy and a mistake. It was widely and rightfully condemned at the time--then immediately forgotten in the US, unfortunately. At the time, Mark Twain suggested sarcastically that we take the flag, "paint the white stripes black and replace the stars with skull-and-crossbones".
What he didn't realize was, with a modern flag and slight tweaks, how metal that looks.

So I'm having a discussion in the writer's forum discussion hub about a potential novel I'd like to write about a meditative guide who moonlights as a hitman in a neo-noir, near future setting, and one point of discussion is the potential location. One excellent suggestion is an international concession on the Riau Islands, a multilaterally funded project to build a megacity headed by China, that has since fallen under the purview of a corporate-bureaucratic oligarchy when a global depression forced the interested nation states to abandon it.
So here we have a flag for 'Riau City'. The colours and design are largely a simplification of the CoA of the OTL Riau Islands Province of Indonesia, complete with wheat, cotton, chain and kris.

Flag of the short-lived Khazar Democratic Republic, which declared independence from Russia in February 1918. Although it lasted for only six months, it was the first independent Khazar state since the annexation of the Khazar Khanate by the Russian Empire in 1822, and was indeed the last Khazar country to remain independent, even briefly.
The four quarters represent the four directions in traditional Turkic culture; gold is added to separate them more clearly.
In August 1918, Bolshevik troops occupied Samandar, the capital of the Khazar Democratic Republic and renamed the city Zuyevsk, after a prominent 19th century Khazar nationalist poet. The country was dissolved and reintegrated into the Russian RFSR as the Khazar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The flag is typical of most other ASSRs of Russia during the Soviet Union and remained in place until 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed, and the Khazar ASSR was replaced with the Republic of Khazaria.

Why would a Khazar flag have a cross on it? Unless they converted to Christianity ITTL.
I tried making the flag without the cross at first, but it looked rather ugly. It's a purely aesthetic separator of the four quarters (I also thought having a saltire rather than a cross, which would admittedly fit the whole "four directions" thing better, but it also didn't turn out too well either). I re-uploaded it with a Star of David and shuffled the colours around a bit to make it more aesthetically pleasing and to make it more obvious this is a Jewish country we're talking about.

Could represent the Don-Volga portage, which was right in the middle of the Khazar Khaganate.
Nor did the colours red and black would become political colours for radical movements

I'm a huge sucker for Egypt so I made a flag for a Pharaonist Egypt~
I used Egyptian blue for the Nile, the yellow is the desert, the black is the fertile lands, and the triangle represents the Nile delta. Since the flags can also be hanged vertical, the white triangle also represents the national flower of Egypt, the white lotus, and the Y shape is its stem and petals.
