Ibadan. (My, you picked some pretty noncontrasting colors for the second.)Only the Bukhara Emirate (I assume for the Uzbeks again?), the Heavenly Kingdom (still unclear - I'm leaning towards a white pennant bordered red), and Maori to go, by my count (unless you still want another Union Jack shield). For Maori, I'm leaning towards the white saltire on brown pennant if I can't get a reasonable-looking flag of
Shall we change it?
You don't need to make any new British shield.
Also, what is that flag supposed to be?
I assume it is some NZ flag with those red Southern Cross stars?
Isn't that kind of a new flag? The Southern Cross is obviously borrowed from the quite modern NZ flag.
Well, yes, though I can do a version without the stars. I've certainly been having a hard enough time getting them on.
The current NZ flag was used as a naval ensign starting in 1869, so it's at least conceivable that this flag was in use.
The crescent/cross/WI banner looks horrible, and I'm reluctant to attempt the red flag with green and black canton. The black and blue cross flag seems out of place, and I'm unconvinced that the two brown pennants are appropriate national flags.

[Meade, Herbert (Lieutenant)], 1842-1868
Shows a group of Maori circling around a flagpole which flies three native flags (including a red flag representing the war god Riki).
At the right two guards stand beside the seated and bound figures of Herbert Meade and his guide Hemipo, and there is a campfire in the right background. The whole is in a clearing circled by eight Maori dwellings, and there are trees and bush in the background.
The participants who circle the flagpole, are waving long sticks above their heads.The top flag on the pole is a long red triangular pennant with a red cross on it. The bottom one is also a red tringular pennant, but the white cross on it is diagonal. The centre flag is black on the left half and blue on the right, and there is a white cross (Christian?) in the left half.

Excellent. That one is really nice IMHO.
And now, the (hopefully) last of the many, the flag used by the Seminole state of Muskogee. Though a bit anachronistic (the state existed till 1803) it is better than anything else I have found and way better than the modern state flag which we use now.
The only alternative as I see it is this one, though adopted in the mid 20th century it consists of the traditional colours of the Seminole and the Miccosukee peoples:
Choose yourself.

A feeble attempt at that keen triple-tasseled
Bukhara Emirate flag (presumeably for the Uzbeks). At least the shape is right; perhaps MKJ could do something with the mask.

You think this one is suited?
Greece 1815
There is an 1845 one as well

I suppose that one is for Greece when Otto became king (he was Bavarian). I suppose we can use that, but when the Danish George become's king it is ill-suited. How does the other one look?
