Needs "MISSISSIPPI 1817" written in large letters underneath the seal to make it a "normal" state flag.

Reminds me of my redesign for Mississippi from a few years back.
One of my self-imposed rules was no text (and no seals) though, which is of course completely ridiculous for real US state flags!
Nice. Much easier to draw and very reminiscent of Bosnia-Herzegovina
That was the plan. Since the original design was supposed to be too.
Was originally going to be in the flag swap challenge but this doesn't quite fit the B-H design to my satisfaction.

That one's honestly beautiful.
I'd go so far as to suggest you'd send it to whatever committee the state of Mississipi is having on the state flag issue at the moment.
It might sound silly to be so bold and submit this design, but maybe they'd love your idea.
I really like this one as well.
The UN doesn't really tag national flag that way. At most, some countries that were under a transitional government under its guidance use its colours (white on pale blue).
since the british are pretty traditionalist when it comes to symbols, you could use traditional astrological symbols on the shields:

As others mention, Laika seems an odd fit. Maybe have the Roman Goddess Luna (Greek Selene) instead ? Something a bit more unusual: a Tardigrade:

Glad to see you finished that sentence with "yet".
makes sense design wise, you might just want to clean it up a bit. What software do you use ?
I can but rarely do as I don't find it particularly fun to do.

So it is a bit embarassing
but I use paint and pixlr.com 🤦♂️I wanted to clean it up ofc but I couldn't find a simple way (for me) to make the black background transparent so I could simply "move" the Chetnik writing and skull on the Montenegro flag. I am bit of a troglodyte with tech in general, it even takes me forever to find again previous designs people did for me in the Request Thread or Map/Flag Threads

Sorry but it would need to be "Dieu et ma propriété", as in French possessive pronouns agree with the object and not the subject, and property is feminin.
However it would be very awkward, as it would sound the same as "Dieu est ma propriété", which means "God is my property".
The same problem exists with the original, but "God is my right" could sound like right for relegious freedom, so less problematic, here kind of sounds like blasphemy, so unlikely.
"Dieu et Propriété" would work best in my humble opinion.

That's a great flag! In this case, I modified an earlier design I had done where I was working forward from the French tricolor and trying to basically build the flag around the river. I'm definitely glad to see the symbology is popular.
As @decker pointed out, it would be bad french written like that. A better equivalent would be "Pour Dieu et Mon Bien"
Except that 'mon bien' is usually used as 'well being', when out of context and the plural 'mes biens', would be clear but unformal, like 'For god and my stuff'
That's basically the WestSaxon-Saxon Federation flag. Where's the Anglo bit?
While it might be used it this way in some circumstances, one meaning of "mon bien" means "the whole of the things that are mine".
