Any Reason Why the Hammer and Sickle and Star isn't Yellow?
A vexillological principle is "don't use 4 colours if you can usee 3".

Also while a flag with a red field representing communist and proto-communist groups going back to the french commune, the association between communists and the colours red and yellow OTL is due to that combination being used by the USSR, PRC and vietnam.

My point is that a white emblem is not as odd as it might sound.
 
Flag of the East Asian Community in "A Brighter Sunrise," in which the Japanese government apologizes like Germany.

Nice flag but hasn't Japan already apologized for its crimes during WWII IOTL (even if one can argue they're not adequate for whatever reason)?

I’m not saying Japan in OTL never apologized at all, but it’s the denialism that’s causing issues. Hence, “like Germany.”

From the world of "Hańba!" - an exploration of the Dalmatian autonomy/independence movement in post-Fascist Italy.

The world of "Hańba!" involves a ww2 where Poland is able to turn back the German invasion in 1939, and the war ends around 1941-42. In my interpretation, the rest of Europe remains about the same, and the Soviet Union suffers from internal issues.

Map of Zara and Cattaro - Italian Dalmatia

The disaster for the Italian government's reputation did not come in Abyssinia, but in Yugoslavia. When they intervened in the Yugoslav Civil War, Italy firmly backed Croatia in the hope of securing Slovenia and more of Dalmatia for itself. Mass unrest and near-constant terror attacks in Slovenia convinced them to withdraw from that region, and the instability and intensely genocidal government of Croatia convinced Italy to also abandon plans to take more of Dalmatia. Instability at home also eventually led to the end of Fascism following the death of Mussolini, as well as Italian withdrawal from Albania and Montenegro. The last remnants of Italy's Roman Dream are Littoral Carinthia (Primorksa in Slovene) and Dalmatia (comprised of Zara and Cattaro).

The main driving force for Dalmatian autonomy is SVOBODA! ("Liberty"), winning about 38% of the vote across the region in 2016. Popular support for autonomy has waxed and waned, usually depending on economic conditions. The party has faced scrutiny in the past for its supposed links to the NOF (National Liberation Front) and NNOF (Continuation National Liberation Front), the communist rebels responsible for terror attacks across Italy's Slavic territories, most notably the similarity in the star logo with the Partisans' star.

The proposed flag of an autonomous (or independent) Dalmatia. The OTL flag is a simple bicolour of blue/yellow.
 
what is the meaning behind these symbols on the flag ?
Gold for Liberty, Navy for the waterways of La Louisiane and for historic ties to french blue, an American Panther as a symbol adopted during the Louisianan Independence War to symbolize the ferocity the revolutionaries must show against the Continentals then it stuck, the tree Midjourney came up with by itself! Tree of Liberty maybe?

Was this made completely by MJ or did you edit it?

The Confederation of Canada.png

The Confederation of Canada

The rapidity with which the British Empire collapsed in the 1940's shocked even the most jaded of observers. Despite being at the height of its territorial reach following the Great War, the Empire's fragility was made apparent through a series of scandals, military defeats, and rebellions: The abdication of Edward VIII (known better to history as President Edward Windsor of the Commonwealth), the failed invasion of Norway and the annihilation of the BEF in France during the Western War, the descent of India into chaos despite the brutal measures of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and finally the tragic railway deaths of the Queen and Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret that saw a demoralized George VI abdicate with a renouncement of any further claim to the throne for potential descendants all spelled doom for the old order. With the exception of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe-Rhodesia) inviting Prince Henry to continue the throne in exile, the old white dominions had opted for republican governments. Canada was no exception, despite calls from some quarters to invite George or some other scion of the House of Windsor to take up residence. Fears of a growing Quebec nationalism as well as traditional anti-monarchist attitudes of their southern neighbor guaranteed Canada's republican destiny.

The government carried on largely as it had before, though with cosmetic and minor structural changes. The Governor-General was replaced with a President that would be elected with consent from the major parties in parliament with the Prime Minister continuing to hold considerable power. The old "red ensign" was used for a few years, albeit without the Union Flag in the canton and the Canadian shield taking center prominence. By the 1960's, a renewal of Canadian identity had emerged with calls for a unique and far more aesthetically pleasing flag. After a contest, the result was this with a stylized maple leaf within an arrow pointing towards the future. Despite some grumblings that the flag borrowed too much from the American flag in color scheme, the flag came to be accepted.

Based on the flag proposal by User:Yes0song. Will probably extend the family of flags by time.
The CI doesn't of course has its own military, the branches of the Crown Armed Forces are permitted to use Channel military flags when engaged in protection of the archipelago.
 
Roman Commonwealth Flag.png

A flag I made for the Roman Commonwealth from a recent post of mine on the map thread. In short, the Commonwealth is an alt-EU that leans heavily into its Roman and Christian heritage. The flag may be flown as shown, or vertically with the purple at the top. In the Diocese of Rome only, the flag may be flown vertically with the red on top, as an upside down cross is a symbol of St. Peter, and Rome is the See of St. Peter. The cross was selected to represent Christendom. The colours were selected for several reasons: purple, gold, and red were generally associated with the Roman Empire in traditional heraldry; purple and gold are the colours of royalty, especially associated with the Imperial dignity and the Roman universal monarchy; the red and gold were also meant to evoke the Oriflamme; furthermore, purple, gold, and red were associated also with the Christ, purple and gold symbolising His universal kingship, and red for His blood, sacrificed for the salvation of man. When flown vertically, the purple and gold on top of the red is also meant to His glorious Resurrection, that He has defeated death, and remains alive with the Father in Heaven. When it is flown upside down in Rome, the position of the purple below the red could represent His descent into Sheol for the Harrowing of Hell. In addition to the normal instances when a flag is typically flown at half-mast, this flag is also flown at half-mast every year from noon on Good Friday until midnight on the morning of Easter Sunday.
