Here's an initial design. One red, one white. I can make the devil bigger, put it elsewhere on the flag, change it's colour if you want, etc.

I like the design. I would just move it slightly toward the hoist as it look slightly off centered.
Serbia's new districts looked like this:
The districts in pre-Balkan Wars territory looked like this:
You can find such base-maps in the Shared Worlds forum in most map-games starting with CoAW (Countries of an Alternate World). For example, this thread has one in the first post: https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...pod-phase-2-expansion-of-the-universe.423597/
Members: People with a fear of bieng invaded that are mainly around China, Russia and America, Ideology: not being invaded, time period: late 2050s.
How's this?
Quarterly sable and Or: first and fourth a marten (martes americana) couchant guardant gules armed argent; second and third a martin (progne subis) close regardant azure armed argent.
Translated: quarterly in black (first and fourth quarters) and gold (second and third): first and fourth quarters (top left and bottom right) an american marten crouching looking out at the viewer, red with white claws; second and third quarters a purple martin standing looking back over its shoulder, blue with white claws and beak.

Technically having red on black isn't ideal (it violates the rule of tincture) but it's better than blue on black would be and does actually stand out okay. If you want to keep to the rule, you could make the martens white (argent) with red claws, like this:
The relevant part of the blazon would then become: first and fourth a marten (martes americana) couchant guardant argent armed gules;

These are both quite excellent. Thank you very much. And I can't believe I'd forgotten the rules of tincture. I think I will end up making use of your alternative which follows them. I'll be sure to credit you as well.
bit vague, mate. Usually people have some common geographic location and / or are opposed to a group for a specific reason, even if "anything but what their opponent believe in" is their commonality. You would need to find something to bind on at least a PR level countries that are disparate such as, say, Indonesia, Latvia & Mexico. More then likely, to avoid looking like they were openly challenging one superpower in particular, they would justify the military alliance in some way such as being Armed Neutrals, Anti-Imperialists, Protectors of Minor Markets, etc....

Here are two versions of the same design; they're fucking ugly tbh, but so are most state flags so I figured it doesn't matter. It combines all the colours from both flags of Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Sure, but there are resources you can use in future rather than just asking here. Don't want to clog up the thread.
I'll do you a better version of that then - the one I posted was very quickly re-coloured as an example so has some left-overs.
just an idea: if you have a gold bend in the black quarters, the red marten could be aligned along it
As promised, with white martens:
Quarterly sable and Or: first and fourth a marten (martes americana) couchant guardant argent armed gules; second and third a martin (progne subis) close regardant azure armed argent.
And two versions using Marc's idea. The first has the marten's tail hanging down, which is a slightly more natural posture (not that that really matters in heraldry
). However, it looks a bit skewed, so the second version is more like the outstretched version in Marc's suggestion.v1
v2
Quarterly sable and Or: first and fourth on a bend Or a marten (martes americana) couchant guardant argent armed gules; second and third a martin (progne subis) close regardant azure armed argent.

Marc's idea does solve the issue of tincture, but it feels a little unbalanced to me. I'll likely be sticking to the idea of using the variant which is correct according to rule of tincture, but without the or bend in the sable quarters. I am grateful for the idea though.
Either way, I am thankful for both of your time.
