WHICH_FLAG_CHALLENGE_?_POLL

[Akkismat]

Like I stated in the Weekly Flag Challenge Discussion Thread (https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=136905&page=27), I would like to start a short poll on the next flag challenge to choose.

My aim is to find out which flag challenge appeals the most so I can start a flag challenge hoping to maximise the amount of participants.

Feel free to discuss. Multiple choices are permitted!

Reposting from the other thread: Asian colonization of the Americas/Africa. Another one I would like to see is post-apocalyptic successor states.

EDIT: Derp, didn't realize there were already options. Ignore this.

Another possibility, given that the nations in which many of us AH.com-ers live have either recently held or will soon be holding general elections, would be a challenge to design a flag for a (OTL or AltHist) political party/movement.
