So where did you get the idea for your nation's flag from?

Hm....Well, I had to think about what has appeared on a lot of real life flags. That meant doing a lot of research...a lot of research.

Since my nation was a monarchy I had to find out what objects and colors symbolized monarchy. Of course, there was some things that were actually common knowledge: such as red symbolizing freedom and sacrifice.

I made mine aged about 11. I made it on paint. Back then I liked snails, so I drew a pretty snail on it. I also drew clouds, due to my nation being called Cloudous. The little figure in the bottom left hand corner is how I visualised Cloudous' monarch to look. I can't attach to this, as I have actually lost the save file for it, so am unable to actually load it up anywhere other than on NS. I'm seriously worried as to where it got to :/

EDIT: After much scouring through my documents, I have managed to find a copy of my flag, which, if I don't screw up the technical here, should be attached.

The Yggdrasil ambassador to Ulthar, Zybodia, and I were riffing on the RMB one day and a VeggieTales reference was made. I looked up B. Manatee and found it available. It's a weird reference for a religious cartoon series - the inappropriate fascination of an animated cucumber without arms with a plushie manatee.

The original flag, that I used back when i started out, was something I created for some entirely different reason, which I've promptly forgotten. As a matter of fact I couldn't even find the original file, although I'm sure if I would search around I would find it. At any rate, here's a reproduction:

Posted Image
The flag was based on one of the flags german anarchists use. While it was an interesting design, there were to problems, that even back then I realized. The first was, that the flag didn't make it obvious, that Lazlowia was supposed to be a communist country. The second was, that it didn't look like a national flag.

After that I experimented with a few alternate designs, before settling on the design that I used relatively recently:

Posted Image
The source here obviously was the flag of Yugoslavia. I really like the design, but the main problem was with this was the choice of colors. I wanted to keep the black and brown from the original flag, and added the light blue. The problem is, that all three are rarely used in actual flags. Also, they were arranged in a clumsy manner.

Posted Image
The current one was introduced at the time when pack as a "joke" replaced all flags with his own. Again I couldn't find the old file, and so came up with a new flag in a few minutes. I'm still not satisfied with it, but for the time being it is as good as any.

The origins of my current flag lies in my original flag from Gesseria, which had three main variations. The colors are random, with no real meaning. I had picked ones I liked and thought looked good together.

The first real one is not actually on here. I lost the file I had for it, but found the second version with the blue cross. The real first one had two stars on the bottom-right where the cross currently is. One was in the white space, and another was in the blue field. I didn't really like the design, so I changed it to the cross/stripe variation, but kept the colors.

The third one visible was the result of watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which I quickly became obsessed with. The image I used wouldn't fit in the original dimensions, so I had to make a new one, hence the differences in height, width, and color. (It's resized here since it was also considerably larger than the others) It was not really an IC flag, but I did consider having magical girls exist in Gesseria. Gesseria CTE'd with this version.

Posted Image

Coming back, I had a different plan for new nation. I thought Gesseria was too big, and decided to shrink it down considerably. Another idea was to separate it into different countries as a reason to make more flags (as well as sort of make up for the size reduction). It may not be a wise decision.

Anyway, I made the flags for the three nations first. They were supposed to be the stereotypical "good vs. bad" nations (Harenne and Pallisio), with Enaria there as a buffer, which was the primary factor of the colors: Bright Harenne and dark Pallisio.

A way to handle them all conveniently was the Allied Nations of Hyserea, which incorporates features primarily from the last Gesserian flag, as well as all of the member nations' flags. The shield incorporates Harenne in the top-left, Pallisio in the top-right, Enaria in the bottom-left, and what is supposed to be a Mew Gull in the bottom-right.

Here's my flag:

Posted Image


This was made for the region I used to run, Qwendra, which had been represented by a number of flags during its life time. First by the prussian flag, then by a purple flag with an eagle on it. A friend made this for me when we were members of the Holy Dominion Federation, combining the other two flags, as well as the sun rays from the dominion's flag.


Although Qwendra died, and I had a falling out with the Dominion(or the Ascendancy as its now called), I still use and like the flag.

I made this in photoshop a few years back and have kept it ever since. For RP purposes The red background is symbolic of the blood spilled in Allegheny's civil war long ago. The stars represent the twelve regions in the Alleghenian Union and the shield and gears represent Allegheny's economy which primarily serves the military industrial complex.

The cross on my flag is taken from Switzerland, as they share a policy of permanent neutrality.
The background colors are to represent land surrounded by sea, because Aloes is a small island nation.
Not much creativity, XD.

My original flag with Topid represented my love of the WASC, and the balance between R/D that was being struck out there when it released. (Todd is the only one who's known me long enough to remember this flag.. :P )
Posted Image
As I moved away from the WA aspect of the game and toward gameplay I picked the heartagram from my favourite band to represent me and the symbol has stuck with me ever since. I change colour and design of my heartagram regularly, Topid's colours are fairly consistently blues and whites while TannerFrankLand usually wears a darker theme (ever since Condemn Nazi Europe I've seen TFL as the 'dark' version of Topid, the bad side).

Posted Image
That is my current flag for TFL, but I really would like to change it up some. The colours aren't suiting me, but at the same time I'm trying to keep it dark. I've been fiddling with it for a while. :P

From the original 13 colonies of the US.

The idea is my nation has 13 territories after a Civil War in the US destroys the country and new countries are spawned from it's ashes.
