Rule No.1: Do not recycle the Qing flag, use of this (
) dragon is strictly forbidden. The Qing had a bad press in those days so the Republican dragon should be different.
Rule No.2: The dragon featured on the flag can be of ANY form, but it must be recognizably Chinese. Dragons with wings are forbidden.
Rule No.3: Try to give this flag "something new", something that can differentiate itself from the Qing disaster. (e.g. Symbols of democracy##, of modernity, of nationalism et cetera.)
Rule No.4. Do not deface the flag with words.#
As for colour of the dragon, colour of the flag, the configurations, and addition of other elements on the flag, the choice is yours. ###

Your task is to make a Republican Chinese Flag upon the creation of this republic in 1900.AH Historical Background said:During Boxer War, With the International Legations overrun and diplomats killed (POD, IOTL it stood firm), the invading Alliance of Eight Nations took revenge by killing a good part of the Qing royal house and abolishing the dynasty.
The provincial governors of China, fearing anarchy and possible foreign partition of China, activated a previously-made agreement and hastily declared a Chinese “Republic”, with Li Hungchang () as China’s new President.
This regime fared surprisingly well…
Despite starting as a de facto oligarchy, the regime had democratic trappings since its birth, and they were able to carry out gradual democratizing experiments. This is why their flag is called the Dragon of Liberty, especially during the Sino-Soviet Confrontation days.
