Flag Challenge 87

It's time yet again for another exciting flag challenge. The new challenge is as such.

You will design a flag for a political party that has emerged after a nation has lost a devastating war. The political party is irredentist, but other than that all other aspects of the party and it's ideology are for you to define. The nation is of your choice as well. But the flag you are designing has to be a vexilloid, and meant as a standard used for political rallies and marches. The flag must include the motto of the party and party symbolism, whatever they may be. You may upload simply the vexilloid, or even the entire standard, like this.

Common Sense

I've created this flag some time ago but there was no story beside that. Just a name "Sesnsu Communis Partia". But lets say this is flag of party who emerge in USA after another "win" but lost war in middle east. Its persuade Americans to give their traditional Democratic and Republican votes to them. Its postulate return to traditional American values and 19th century isolationism doctrine.

EDITED 2013-02-16: Flag redone to Vexilium

In the wake of the February Revolution in Russia, the Kerensky government's abrupt exit from the war was seen as a stabilising act. Unfortunately, chaos reigned, as the Central Powers attempted to slice away huge parts of the former Empire, peripheral states declared and fought for their independence, and opportunistic neighbors took advantage of the confusion. The republic teetered but survived, with coalitions of liberal and socialist parties trading blows in parliement. To many Russians outside the cities, and to many traditionalists, there was a great sense of confusion and anger, as their homeland seemed to have gone from being a Great Power to a weakling in the blink of an eye. The growing secularisation of Russia, pushed by the anti-religious left and the anti-church centre, fed into a heady mixture which resulted in the formation of the Third Rome movement. Drawing on Russia's Imperial glory, and on the strength of the Orthodox faith, the Third Rome movement captured the attention of traditionalists, and in the face of Eser and Menshevik militants, quickly militarised itself, with significant aid from a disaffected military. The Third Rome movement promised a return to greatness, a reconquest of the peripheral states and the Stolen Lands, and a reckoning with those who had betrayed the Motherland. There was a particular hatred for Esers, Mensheviks, and Germans in the movement.

The banner below is the basic design used for party marches. The slogan RUSSIA - THIRD ROME appears, with the party symbol in between.

Just a reminder, guys, that the challenge states that the party motto or slogan must be on the flag - Alvar 13 and follow_by_white_rabbit don't fit this requirement at present.

Is there also a height restriction? I've adjusted the black on mine to match the 300px for normal flags...

The height restriction was done with horizontal flags in mind, so in this competition I'd go with 300px in a particular orientation - I did mine as 300px wide overall, but your interpretation is equally valid

[edit] Incidentally, is Alvar's yours, but with the star cut off and a different symbol? The two look pixel for pixel identical otherwise.

SOCIAL NATIONAL PARTY OF MALTA (SNPM)

Following the Great Devolution of Europe, a series of fishing disputes between the People’s Democratic Republic of Sicily and Malta escalated into a brief but bloody war. Under the peace treaty brokered by the Hedonistic Island Kingdom of Eivissa, the islands of Gozo and Comino were ceded by Malta to Sicily. Five years after the end of the war, the SNPM seized control of Malta following the ‘Macho Malteser March on Valetta”.

The main policy of the SNPM was the recovery of the lost islands, to which end it developed a plan of militarisation and accelerated firework production. The party’s motto was “Malta Rise Again!”

Cool. Since mine is square(ish) it should be 300px wide too :D

Hmm, I adapted the Roman one from the challenge image (as has Richard IV I believe) but Alvar's does rather appear to be a superposition and cut of mine since the shade of grey looks identical and I lengthened the pole from the original image...

NATIONAL JUSTICE PARTY OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Following a protracted campaign, mainly peaceful but with outbreaks of violence, Western Australia achieved its independence. But part of the price for the treaty by which the Commonwealth of Australia recognised the independence of its former member state was the cession of the northern most part of Western Australia (area shaded grey on map), which was incorporated into the Northern Territory.

​

The National Justice Party of Western Australia came into being just 18 months after independence. It sought not only to recover the area ceded to Australia but also acquire land in the Northern Territory (shaded green on the map). The party’s motto was “Strength, Justice” and its first leader was Rolf Patterson, grandson of the legendary Sir Les Patterson.
