My submission for Challenge 125:

Democratic Party Flag

After the Democratic victory in 1976, the old donkey symbol was exceeded and was created a contest to elect a new Democratic flag for the 1978 Elections. The Humphrey Flag (name adopted after the death of former VP Hubert Humphrey), was designed by senator Robert Byrd received the first Roosevelt Award for those who contributed to the Democratic Party. The Party's flag was made official as the official symbol in 29 May 1978 by the chairman of the DNC John C. White.

Ooh, first submission! Very nice! Although I'm not quite sure that blue was the DNC's color back in the '70s, was it? But, pretty cool!

This is the first flag I have ever made. Hope it's OK.


Here's the flag of the US Green Party.

Rainbow represents equality for all people.

Sun represents the brightness that shines over the nation.

Red is the traditional socialist color. The sun is red to thank the hard work of US citizens, keeping the country moving.

The green tree represents Nature.

And fifty white stars for Peace and Harmony in all states.

In 1972, the "Libersign”, an arrow angling upward through the abbreviation "TANSTAAFL" (There ain't no such thing as a free lunch), was adopted as the Libertarian party symbol. Eventually, some came to see the symbol as being unattractive, in order to promote their party more and attract more members a new symbol was sought. By 1980, the use of Paul Revere on his ride became the most common symbol used by various state affiliates. In 1982 an official flag was designed and was displayed prominently up to the 1984 presidential elections garnering them 7% of the vote, their largest up to that date.

While still not having anyone elected to the office of POTUS to this date, the Libertarian party has become a viable third party over the decades. They current hold 15 seats in the Senate and 47 in the US House of Representatives.

FLAG CHALLENGE 125: It's Party Time!

In many countries, such as in Eurasia and the European Union, political parties have flags of their own. However, in the U.S., this is not the case. Therefore, your challenge is, to create a flag for one of the four major U.S. political parties: The Republicans, the Democrats, the Libertarians, and the Greens.

It seems I won flag challenge 125, so here's the next one:

FLAG CHALLENGE 126: Capitalism ho!
Design a flag for a state run by some sort of corporation. What this entails is up to you.

Examples include: a corporate republic, a colony run as an independent country by a company, a federation of cities ruled by some sort of corporation or company.

Future history is fine. Other forms of science fiction, fantasy and ASB is not.

Kellogg’s Corporate Kingdom

Starting in 2021 the worlds food supply started to fall well under that needed to feed the people of the planet. First attributed to the failure of GMO foods, many seed companies and large biotech firms went under from pressure placed on them by the starving masses. It was later revealed that terrorists loyal to former Russian President Putin had liberated several biological weapons from the former Commonwealth of Independent States. This information was withheld from the general population in order to keep the already present level of rioting manageable. When word got out, many governments fell to riots or civil war. Several countries were able to hold some semblance of unity together. Backed by the Kellogg’s company, the United Kingdom was one of those countries. After merging with the faltering Monsanto Company, Kelloggs had moved their headquarters out of the fatally dying US and to their facility in Trafford Park, Manchester. Holding a Royal Warrant issued by Queen Elizabeth II, and then by King William VI, Kelloggs was well established in the nation. As food riots and assassinations of political figures become the norm in the United Kingdom, the only source of non-infected agricultural seed was controlled by Kellogs. With the threat of civil war, Parliament looked towards…

I'll try to get something up

EDIT: and here it is

US involvement in the Soviet-China war of 1953 soon expanded it to WW3 with limited nuclear strikes – though some dispute it was an actual WW3 due to lack of involvement of the Nonaligned Pact and no regular troop movements between the opposing countries.
The damage to the US caused economic problems, a reduction in Federal power, and a rise in civil disorder. To compensate for this the Incorporation Bills were passed enabling registered companies/corporations to be delegated certain financial and governmental authorities.
One such company was Disney.
In the years since DisneyCorp has expanded to include its own banking, DisneyBank, and transport services.

Appears I won.

Challenge is now up.

FLAG CHALLENGE № 127: [FONT="]Of Mice and Mensheviks

In 1917, with the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks splitting, many non-factional social democrats returning from Europe and America had to take sides. Some returned to the Mensheviks, some joined the Bolsheviks at once, but many like Trotsky joined with the non-factional, anti-war group, Mezhraintsy, which would eventually merge with the Bolsheviks in august of that year. A smaller number of influential social democrats which was associated with Maxim Gorky refused to join with either side.

The challenge is to create a flag for a Russian state based on a TL where the Mezhraintsy, plus the social democrats following Maxim Gorky, merges instead with the Mensheviks and the end result is that Bolshevism is made illegal.
