There's a lot of possible reasons for a flag to change, so I do hope Paradox puts it in. Different ideology, puppet, loss of territory, gained territory, a particular leader rises up, some random guy wanted the flag changed, the League of Nations demands that a nation change its flag because it's ugly, etc.

Flag changes should definitely be in. There should be some limitations though, so you can't use Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's flag on Kingdom of Yugoslavia, for example.

The name of the nation ought to be changeable as well.

There may be some reasons to change flags in HOI3, but only in few cases, e.g. Yugoslavia or Mengkukuo - but there should be a series of events for some countries to change their flags, I agree.

Yes. Soviet Union springs to mind.

Yes. Soviet Union springs to mind.

Keep in mind that there is a difference between the USSR and Russia. If there wasn't any, Lenin would of had no reason to put the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) under a Union of Republics.

Also keep in mind that Russia declared independence from the Union in 1991, just like all the other Republics did. So the USSR stays, but in the event of a civil war or whatever, an attempt could be made to put an end to the Union and Republics, thus simply having a single, multinational Russian Empire or Federation. (Of course it should be extremely hard to keep the former Republics' in line)

Basically, the only way for the USSR to change would of been for the USSR to end. If there would for some reason be a mutual agreement from all Republics to dissolve the USSR in 1936, you'd have 12 fully independent, socialist Republics.
