History

At 71 endorsements, that's an FCN record and I'm tied with Vancouvia for 18th-most among delegates.

For those updating flags, here are some principles of vexillology that you might want to keep in mind:

1. Keep It Simple. The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory.

2. Use Meaningful Symbolism. The flag's images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes.

3. Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors.

4. No Lettering or Seals.

5. Be Distinctive or Be Related.

You have a very busy flag which still looks nice but would fit better as something other than a national flag.

Indeed. It is a banner of arms, so it would be more fitting to be hung alongside the national flag or used elsewhere. I just prefer heraldry over vexillology.

I feel like my flag floats on the edge of your guide lines. There isn't a ton of color variation, but the center piece is probably beyond the scope of a child to accomplish accurately.

Ahh, NAVA. One day I'm gonna remember to subscribe to their stuff.

That said, do any of you all have different flags? For example, the Fluvannian state (government) flag uses the same pattern, but takes its colors from the Fluvannian coat of arms -- black cross on a gold background.

Not really, no. Some former US territory (central Virginia, central-eastern Wisconsin, and the Rochester, NY area), held in personal union. Mostly the Fluvannian government represents the three constituencies on the international stage, they're pretty autonomous -- something like if the EU handled it's members' foreign affairs. Elected legislature, but hereditary executive (HRE was of course elective monarchy). More like....if Monaco or Liechtenstein hit the gym for 6 months, than the HRE.

That's..interesting. How does the Fluvannian government prevent these territories from stepping out of line or prevent invasion?

I mean, it's still a "single" country. National constitution, legislature, military, that sort of thing. Military is actually pretty strong -- the national motto does literally translate as "From Strength, Peace".

I guess the EU comparison was only really valid for "level of autonomy". A very early (think post-War of 1812) US could be another comparison, at least with regards to centralization.

Also since I am also the head of all three sub-national divisions, the odds of any of them successfully initiating a motion to secede is unlikely, lol.

1. Rule 3, I think you could get away with more than 2 or 3 colors, as long as they are all distinct(like one shade of blue or red or green, etc.)

2. Flag of Moscow is good because it literally has a guy impaling the dragon.

1. It's very conditional. Your flag is an example of one that is too busy and the colour combinations don't work. I'm uncertain of the meanings of each half (the design suggests a combination of two banners), so I'm not sure how to recommend fixing it.

2. Like with Liberated American Provinces, Moscow's flag (and many others in Russia, to be fair) work better as a city/provincial flag.

I would agree upward mobility is more difficult than it use to be especially if you don't have a lot of capital but it doesn't mean it is impossible or easier anywhere else or harder because of a persons ethnicity. I believe it has more to do with government interference in the market.

Having been around the block for a while, there isn't much that surprises me NS these days.

Odds are there are flags that resemble all of ours in someway. Having said that, from what I've seen the FCN has put more effort into the process than many. Appreciating the different styles of art and governance they're supposed to represent, I like all that I've seen busy or not.

Flag War 2019.

The new day had begun, the puffy clouds peppered the sky, while the earth warmed, from the rays of the chariot Helios rode across the sky.

The sunshine greeted the world, flowers sprung forth; a heavenly perfume bursting from their petals filling in the light air currants.

The flowers were dazzling, colours of the rainbow painted upon each flower petal as they basked and danced in the morning sun.
