I would say both but I don't want to push my luck. Let's go with flag for now and when you will have time and will, map

This unfortunately a tad bland but:I would say both but I don't want to push my luck. Let's go with flag for now and when you will have time and will, map
Burgundy edge for the "New Rome"
White for Liberty
Blue for the Mediterranean
Gold star for the union

General idea being: green for the lands round the Med; blue for the Sea itself; gold star for the union and hinting at a compass rose to indicate that all parts of the Med Sea are included; gold between green and blue for (1) separation, they don't go well together, and (2) could also represent the union, with all lands joined.

Kinda looks like a blend of the Alawite flag with the Imperial Brazilian one if they had a baby that went to space.

@FriendlyGhost @Marc Pasquin @The Professor can I give you guys a "flag" "challenge"? It is something I just came up and thought it would be a lot of fun for you guys. Make a flag of that organization that both far right and far left members. The caviats are :
- No use of red or black or use of both
- No historical symbols (Hammer and Sickles, fasces, swastikas or runes)
- It could be used by every ethnicity in the world

Even though I wasn't asked it, here you go. Take a guess what it means, and then I'll tell you what it means to me after.

@Cantra it's a bit complicated but I will try :
- The laurel might represent current/past national prestige
- The circle with the cross seems pagan-ish in nature, if I recall correctly it was a symbol used by the collaborators of WW2 German-occupied/ruled Norway
- The Omega sign could be seen as many things : end, fullfiment or power.
I am not a Sherlock Holmes (or Enola, that dreadful TV show) best thing I can come close to is Watson and he always needed SH to finally see clearly.
That's cool, but what about the swadian lion in the center of the flag?
National flags don't need to copy the COA. Look at the UK, USA, Canada, etc.....

The circle is the astrological symbol of the Earth, it means the regime or whatever it means spans the globe. The Omega sign is as you have interpreted, while the laurel represents coverage over the Earth through various means. I edited the United nations flag for this.
Pretty complex logo to redo from scratch but unless someone feel like doing it, this should do.
Maybe make the blue a bit darker (medium blue) to help with contrast. Another suggestions I would make would be to invert the blue and green sections so that it evoke less the flag of brazil. Problem with that obviously is that it would lose the idea of the Mediterranean sea then.

I didn't know the Alawite flag, though I had noted the similarity to the Brazilian one.
How about one of these instead? The first uses a rectangle instead of a rhombus to represent the Med Sea, whilst the second uses horizontal stripes instead, to represent the northern and southern shores of the Med. In both I've turned the star into a more obvious representation of a compass rose, in which the 'circle round the star' could be taken to represent the union of the nations at all points of the compass, if you wanted to go for that sort of symbolism.
Oh yes, and I darkened the blue as Marc suggested, to rgb 0,0,153 if I remember correctly.
