The flags

[Svip]

I do apologise if there is already a thread on this subject, but I was unable to locate one; you may redirect me in the case of such a thread existing.

I seriously have to ask about this. Having been looking through the shield directory of VIP:R, I have noticed a lot of alt-history flags.

And I have to ask; how many of these designs are simply just something you came up with and how many of them are actually proposed or historical alternative flags?

I am for instance especially interested in the communist Nordic Cross flags. Because I cannot find a basis for that choice of design. It looks cool, no doubt, but still... very fascinated and interested.

And are they available in a higher resolution?

In addition, I think your choice of Estonian flag for a republic is incorrect, the colours should be reversed:

Where no proper flags exist some were just created here, yes. In the next version we will have incorporated Fridericus Rex's flag mod, so there should be some better flags there. As for the Estonian flag: what is the basis for this proposed change?

What the current fesse Estonian flag symbolises. Blue being sky, black being forests and white being snow. As such, snow (or the ground, a.k.a. Estonia itself) is the lower part. And as the colour of the cross, it symbolises what holds the flag together (i.e. the nation together), the nation itself.

The black has to be between the cantons and the cross, as it symbolises everything between the ground and the sky, e.g. the forest. And as such, the sky should remain in the cantons, for its relation to 'outside'.

And while both flags exists as proposals, the one I describe has slightly greater attraction among the Estonians.

Do you have a link to Fridericus Rex's flag mod? Googling it doesn't seem to work so well.

Okay, thanks for that.

Here is the mod which I was referring to.
