Flag Thread V
Trying to choose a design for my Poland-Belarus timeline "Lepiej Razem", where a democratic Belarus enters a union with Poland.
Design 1:
The "knot" design (Polish: węzeł; Belarusian: вузел, vuzieł); Two red bars, representing the two constituent nations, twisted together to form a stronger bar.
Design 2:
The "portions" design (Polish: porcji; Belarusian: порцыі, porcyi); The top half is a symmetrical colour inversion of the bottom half. In the top 2/3 we see the white/red/white of Belarus, and from the top to the bottom (though interrupted) we see the white/red of Poland. Both red and white are in equal portions, representing equality of the two nations.
Design 3:
The "ramp" design (Polish: rampa; Belarusian: пандус, pandus); from the hoisted edge, the proportions of the Polish flag transition towards the proportions of the Belarusian flag on the fly. The flag can be hoisted normally or in reverse (ie Polish side or Belarusian side first.

I think porcji is more likely to be chosen IRL, even though I think węzeł is cooler in and of itself. I suspect that, by 2004, most people would associate a red device on white as being one of the Red Cross & Red Crescent movement flags. (Though I am a WH40K fan and it also reminds me a lot of the Space Marine Apothecary symbol, which might be colouring my thoughts!)
Oh that's a good point about Red Cross confusion. Also I can kind of see the WH40K apothecary similarity haha.Interesting

they both use red-white designs so to me, the first one is better as, unlike the others, it doesn't look like a mashup of the respective national but a new, separate one representing the union itself.Trying to choose a design for my Poland-Belarus timeline "Lepiej Razem", where a democratic Belarus enters a union with Poland.

Islamic Economic Forum
This is the flag of the Islamic Economic Forum. Founded in 2019, the organization's stated mission is to foster economic relations among the member states, which include nations from around the world on the basis of a shared faith--from such recognizable giants of the faith as Saudi Arabia to nations with strong Islamic minorities, such as Albania, Suriname, and Ghana. Observer nations include such giants as China and Russia. At first, the organization was limited to the MENA area, but expanded as other nations sought to join a growing trade bloc that operated outside of the confines of OPEC.
The flag incorporates an Islamic geometric design in the center, which shows five stylized arrows pointing toward a single star, representing the five pillars of Islam, and also the shared singular goal of the organization to promote economic ties among member states. It also represents the five founding members: Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The pentagonal emblem is also said to be a subtle allusion to the Black Stone of the Kaaba, a pentagon-shaped sacred rock. The two bars on the sides, which are also geometric designs, and repesent the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia, where the accords creating the organization were signed. The white on both flags represents peace, and the various shades of Turquoise represent cooperation and friendliness.
Sometimes, a version is used without the bars on the sides for a cleaner effect.

Flag of United Nations Transitional Authority in the Republic of China
I modeled this flag after the style of the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia banner...except, it's in China instead of Cambodia, and the text is Chinese and says "China." Make of it what you will. You are free to use it if you wish, I suppose.
Flags of South American countries according to DeepAI.
American Paraguay and British Uruguay lol.
Thought some of them are actually pretty good NGL.
Yup, lead by Yves-Joseph de Kerguelen-Trémarec, who was born in Landudal, Brittany.
Haven't figured out the details, but it's either a British Brittany or part of France that's called Gaul, but it's rarely called France or speaks Latin in my head.
Brittany has a lot of potential for AH, think of the Celts, it's explorers and monarchist tendencies.
The basis was that small entities could have colonies as well (or microstates could build empires, like a theoretical Empire of the Vatican).
I also have a Breton Cape Breton in mind, posted a possible flag a while back.

Florentine-united republican Italy
Greatest territorial extent c. 1800
Flag of Veneziola (Venezuela), based on the colours of explorer Giovanni da Verrizzano's hometown (Val di Greve, Florence, Italy). The name was chosen based on Verrizzano's remarks comparing the coasts to that of Venetia.
Flag of Soladi (Hispaniola), flag based on Rome (red/gold bicolour) and the Aragonese striped flag. The island was settled extensively by Catalans from the Balearic islands. The name comes from the first name given to the island by Verrazzano, "L'isola d'italia" which became shortened among colonial Italians to "Sola d'i". The shortened name was misunderstood by many foreigners to be the official name, rendering it in English and other languages as "Soladie" or "Soladi" - and eventually it became the official name of the country on its independence.
