(Not actually required. I just don't know how to make this not required. If you don't do it, nothing different happens.)

Which one of these is best for an America in a Fantasy setting? *

A. Based on the original placeholder flag I made. I'm not sure how I feel about it. The sword and star represent a democracy born in conflict, and the 5 stripes represent the original 5 colonies.

B. Based more on the actual flag. The stripes still represent the original 5 colonies, the eagle isn't really supposed to be the Seal of the US, but there aren't any options for the two-headed eagle that "Samrico" has accepted as its mascot. The sun represents Enlightened Democracy, and the swords are placed in defense of it.

C. The same thing, but with the eagle and ratio rotated vertically to appear more like a battle flag. (also creates more visual momentum in the direction of the wind when flown sideways)

D. The bluest of the flags, so I am heavily biased toward it. The symbolism is much the same as the first option, with the 5 stripes representing the colonies. The small stars represent all the states, (with the bigger ones being the original 5) and the largest star with the wreath represents... Democracy? Their power united? Federal authority?

E. The same thing, with less stars, and white edging on the sides. This makes the design more simple, so that it adheres to the rule 'a child could draw it'. This makes the above choice probably more 'realistic' because, shit, a child can barely draw the 50 star flag we have in real life. There's too many fucking stars.

F. The united states of Norway

Which one of these is the best for a Confederate US in a fantasy setting? *

A. The very first version I ever made, long before restarting this project. It would make an interesting inversion of D and E in the first one, but I set it aside because it looked too much like North Korea.

B. A "Heraldic" version of the first flag. Not great vexilology, but a haphazardly assembled nationstate might not have come up with the best ideas. Please excuse the garish coloring, it's meant to look like the first one.

C. "Oddly familiar" series of crosses. The star full of wheat/rice is supposed to represent a fertile heartland, defending itself on all sides from jealous barbarians who seek to undo "certain institutions".

D. Another oddly familiar cross, means roughly the same thing. I don't know what the other stars are for, but without it there's awkward empty space. They could represent sub-colonies founded outside the US by Filibuster Generals.

E. LOL just stars and bars.

F. A "Blue Bonnie" type flag for the historical purists.

G. Same, but with a pretty tree.

H. Same, but an inversion of the sword and star thing the first flag had going on.

I. Based on an actual confederate flag, just to show how UGLY a truly history-based flag would actually be.

Any additional commentary, criticism, questions, etc, add here.
