The UNE flag remains problematic.

There is only one solution: Animated flags! Earth on this flag clearly must rotate and display all continents over time.
Hard to achieve, you say?
Requires a complete overhaul of the code?
I don’t care; this is important!
Paradox, stop “Overlord” immediately!
You have more pressing tasks to do.
Make it happen!
We all are willing to wait!

Something else to consider: showing the Atlantic coastlines can be a reminder of how the continents used to be united into a single piece.

Guy why don't we just use
E for Earth. Green for grass, blue for water. Simple and clean.

I'm guessing the idea is for it to look as much like the real UN flag as possible without being sued.

Why would it be forbidden to use the UN flag? Other paradox titles use IRL national flags all the time...

The UN has apparently asked game companies not to use their flag. I don't know if it is a legal decision or a matter of respect, but either way, that flag isn't available.

It’s more like Yamaha and Audi’s unwanted offspring.

I agree if only because I'd like to see weirder map projections gain more exposure, such as the Cahill-Concialdi projection below:
Slightly more seriously (though not by much more), I remember seeing that hoi4 supported dynamic portraits/sprites. I wonder if Stellaris supports this for flag entities, too? This is a sci-fi game, we can do better than static flag emblems. Animated flag emblems could be an interesting idea.

Or Yamaha and Audi merge to buy out the competition, fast forward a few decades and they are strong enough to become a planetary government.

The UNE flag is centered in the South Atlantic, which means the people from a large majority of the planet's population are unrepresented. All of Asia, North America, Europe, etc. are just not on the flag of the government which supposedly represents them all.
I mean, I guess this wouldn't be an issue if the emblem was changed to look like the actual UN flag, but it really doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
You know, while I don't think the UNE flag should be changed to this, it would be cool to see that emblem added to the Human emblem category.

A spinning Earth map would certainly be cool. Make UNE feel a tiny bit special after all these years of being the default.
I don't want every emblem to be animated, but having a few which were animated -- especially for the older Human emblems -- might be really nice.

I wasn't complaining about anything, what was so disagreeable about my reply lol.

The UN flag is not a national flag.
Different rules apply to national flags than those belonging to private organizations. At least in the US, you can use national flags for whatever you’d like, but you’d be in trouble if you started using flags belonging to McDonald’s or Wal-Mart.

I really dislike animating things that don't have to be animated. It's very distracting for me. I'd rather keep a static logo. As a South American, I've put up with eurocentric projections for long enough. I even calculate my own wall clock time as an offset of a British timezone. You can surely endure an americentric flag in a sci-fi game without calling it problematic, especially when the reality of our world is quite biased towards eurocentrism.

What about the opressed peoples of teh middle east and east africa? They are not represented by the flag.
