You spoil us, especially with those beautiful U.S. state flags. But who is Ugista of Sequoyah? An OTL figure?
Many of those flags took longer than I wanted them too. Ugh.
This is just too awesome! The flags look great (especially in the South, although I love the parallelism in Hamilton and Arapho's flags too) and all the other stuff here is awesome too!
Thank you!! And yeah, since Reconstruction basically stomped out anything with the Confederacy I had to pretty much re-do every southern state. So annoying. The only ones that get by are South Carolina (the flag was used previously during the Revolution) and Maryland (because the pro-Confederate banner is very very small on the seal). This is why Maryland doesn't have its fairly neat flag we see in OTL.
I think we can all agree the American state flags are on the whole more beautiful and sensible while still having many classic "seals on a blue background" designs alongside the seemingly far-more-common TTL phenomenon of "actually catchy-looking yet still overloaded" designs like Maryland's.
Oddly enough, that "seal on blue background" nonsense is heavily New England influenced. Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine remove four of them from the mix. Oregon is gone too which removes another. Take into account the other mergers in the west, and the overall percentage of poopy flags is greatly decreased. I didn't even notice this until you pointed it out
