False Dmitri

The flag of the Burgundionic Community, a post-colonial association of nations linked by history and culture with metropolitan Burgundy. The organization's logo suggests the old dynastic badge but has been inverted and adjusted to emphasize a rising sun symbol.

The flag of the the Confederation of Nations, an economic and military union set up by the United States in response to its declining influence in Europe, including the dissolution of NATO shortly after the Soviet Union's collapse. Members are required to be "democratic," which in practice means willing to toe the Washington line. The seven five-pointed stars represent the seven continents, and the seven-pointed star in the center represents a unity between them. Although the Confederation really does have member states in every continent (excluding Antarctica), its membership outside of the Americas is limited to Great Britain, the Korean Republic, Australia and South Africa.

I didn't have the time to enter this time, but I did vote.

After voting, I like how I saw that 114 have visited the voting thread, but there are only 15 votes. That is a lot of lurkers.

Congratulations JJXB and rvbomally on your shared victory in this week's challenge voting. We look forward to your new challenge.

My proposed challenges are:

Columbia, Rule the Waves: Flags of US-owned colonies in areas of the world held by European powers in OTL. Must not have been US territory in OTL, but military occupation is acceptable (for example, the Philippines is not acceptable, but Japan and Korea are).
Future China: Suggested earlier. Fairly self-explanatory, the flag of a future Chinese state.

JJXB, feel free to suggest your own or choose one of these. You can PM me and we'll discuss. :)

Flag for German Empire-controlled North-Borneo: Deutsch-Burnai.
The name of this territory Burnai is a combination of Brunei and Borneo.

The round shield is an alternate simplified emblem of the German Empire.

Here is my entry for the first option: American Cochinchina!

After the Second Patriotic War ended, the new powers devided South East Asia between themselves. In the region of Indochina Italy gained Greater Siam, Germany gaining Laos, Tonkin and Annam and the Americans gaining Cochinchina. While the other powers chose to integrate these nations within their empire, the US decided to install a puppet regime with the "backing" under Admiral John S. McCain, who controled the local government with an iron fist, which caused the opponents of the US to call the Cochinchia Free State an "American Raj". Later, cruel as history is, when his more liberal son decided to run for presidency for the Democrats in the early 2002, he was severly critized for not being a true American since he was born in Saigon, which de jure was not an American possesion, only de facto.

The flag, designed by admiral McCain's secretary of Vietnamese descent, uses the two traditional colours of Cochinchina, yellow and blue. The use of stars and stripes stand for "the people's will for freedom". When in 1987 Cochinchina became independent, it dropped the stars.

Escuse my english. :)

1790 : La pérousse's ship "La Boussole" came back in France after five years of travels around the world. Two years ago, only one of his two ships,"l'Astrolabe", was lost on Solomon Islands with de Langle, his second.

Upon his arrival, he's welcomed gloriously in Brest, words of the expedition's travels in the pacific islands, Australia, Brasil and Japan echoing among the population.

Rapidly understanding the new political situation in France, La pérousse skillfully use his rising fame among seamens and interested investor to make him unavoidable for the newcoming political powers. Hence the well know citation "La république a besoin de marins" ("The Republic need sailors")

He thus establish the "Compagnie des Indes Australes" in Brest the same year, chosing for his blue-ocean flag the compass emblem in reference to the only surviving ship of the expedition "La Boussole".

The company easily gained investor and was pretty prosperous in the first years, but suffered heavily from the Terreur, who made his own founder eventually flee France, before the final Napoleonian integration within the Empire.

-Name : Compagnie des Indes Australes
-1790-1800
-Industry : Trade with east Asia and Pacific
-Owner : Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La pérousse (later Jean-François Galaup)
-Headquartersf : Brest

And the flag (my first challenge :eek: ) :
