Imagine other comparable large rural areas (the Zaire basin, Sahara, Tibet, Greenland, the Australian desert, Arab Peninsula or a large continental shelf) being federal districts of their respective states, interesting.
Can someone make a communist flag of hands meeting in like, a handshake, a gear (for the Industrial workers - taking the place of the Hammer), and have some golden stars in the shape of the Big Dipper constellation arranged in a manner above or near to the gear in the flag in a way that would be presentable?
How's this?

Having stumbled onto the RUSSIAN AMERIKA setting and become weirdly fascinated by the notion of a setting where the 1980s look very like the 1940s (at least technologically speaking), I was also came across this map of the setting - or at least of the local North America.
I'm not going to lie, at least half my curiosity about this setting may be due to British Washington* but this map also catches my interest - in a "Good place to set a war-game, excellent map with which to enrage some of the more demanding customers" sort of way.
May I please ask if any expert would care to weigh in with suggestions on how to make the borders on this map a bit more physically-plausible?
I wonder what the shade of President Washington would think of this being no longer an oxymoron? President Jefferson would doubtless be screaming fit to burst a blood vessel ...

Thank you! If this flag is posted anywhere I will be sure to credit you. It's the flag of a Communist America I am working on with someone.
So this is a bit of weird one but I don't know where else to ask it.
I found this reddit post from a deleted account in the r/mapping subreddit that has some real good blank base maps for different time periods, it says they're 6383 x 4729 pixels. The problem is, i can't seem to figure out a way to get them in their full resolution. If i try to copy/download them i get them in a blurry smaller version. Reddit is also just very unwieldy when opened on a pc. Anyone know how to remedy this? I specifically want the 1815 map and the 1914 one.
Thanks in advance!

Okay, this is gonna be a weird one, so allow me to add some context.
I need a flag to represent a Democratic People’s Republic of Argentina whose ideology ‘Autoconfianza’ is this timeline’s version of Juche. Super Totalitarian, rampant nepotism, the like. Basically Latin American North Korea.

Does anyone know how to make or know where to find a blank map of the original 6 provinces of Cuba for use in an RP game?
I was able to whip up this real quick in case anyone would like to use it. But hopefully someone has a higher quality version to share.
Would it be possible for someone to clean up this flag, make it higher res, remove pixelation and center it better?
Please forgive me for butting in, but I feel this design - while unquestionably distinctive and blessed with serious POP - may be just a trifle busy.Would it be possible for someone to clean up this flag, make it higher res, remove pixelation and center it better?
May I respectfully suggest removing either the horizontal crossbars or those diagonal ‘quadrants’? (Either of these make for a strong central motif, but having both together is perhaps a little bit too much of a good thing).
One again, please pardon my intrusion.
You (or anyone) can edit this design however you'd like, I am fine with that. I made this flag several years ago and found it only recently, so editing is more than welcome.
@CarnelianClout, thank you most kindly for your patience with my remarks: I'm afraid that my own editing skills are ... not great ... so I was merely offering a suggestion based on my initial impression of the flag design.
I know. I commented so people who are capable of editing it can see.@CarnelianClout, thank you most kindly for your patience with my remarks: I'm afraid that my own editing skills are ... not great ... so I was merely offering a suggestion based on my initial impression of the flag design.
