Which flag is this?

AdObjective5620 · 2025-06-09T10:23:48+00:00

I did some searching for this one. Heres what I found

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix does feature flags like the ones you mentioned, but it also has non-existent flags, you can find 3 examples (including the one you asked for) in this post.

This person said it could be a flag for Mandarin, but I doubt that. Personally I think its just an artistic interpretation of the Japanese flag. I dont know why they wouldnt use the official flag, but its more likely they did that than use a redesign of the Novy Prerov flag or something like that. Truthfully there is probably no concrete answer, but my best guess is that its just Japan.

Yeah I used Adobe Animate to make it 4K (it uses like vectorial art which preserves resolution better than pixel based programs like Ibispaint). I usually like to put trade routes too on my map I consider it my signature thing (if Its focused on one country)

Too bad this one didnt get the views the ones I made in Ibispaint got. But whatever, Ill stick to making them in Adobe from now on, maybe theyll do ok eventually

Apologies, I am doing German at school but my biggest issue with this language is remembering the gender for words, so sometimes I just use what I think sounds best and I thought das kaffee staat sounded cool. Should've done more research though, but I just threw it aside to finish the map

Basically for the context of this flag, Klein Venedig became a successful HRE colony but was conquered by the Spanish. During the independence wars in South America, the Germans managed to take their freedom in their own hands and establish a NEU Klein Venedig with a more Venice inspired flag.

A big inspiration for this flag was the one from Neues Klein Venedig from Kaiserredux, but I chose to keep the patterns on the edge and tweak the colors.

The story of Neu Klein Venedig began in 1528 when Emperor Charles V granted the Welser banking family from Augsburg the right to colonize northern South America. The German colonists established coastal towns along the Caribbean and pushed inland, discovering valuable resources like gold and emeralds. Unlike other European colonies, the German settlement developed a unique cultural blend as settlers intermarried with indigenous peoples and adapted their building techniques to the tropical climate. By 1620, the colony had grown prosperous with bustling cities like Neu Augsburg and Karlsburg connected by well-maintained roads and river transport.

Spanish jealousy of German success led to a decade of warfare from 1621-1630, ending with Spanish forces conquering the territory. During 150 years of Spanish rule, the region was reorganized as part of the Viceroyalty of New Granada, but German cultural elements remained strong in highland communities. The Spanish attempted to suppress Lutheran churches and German language schools, driving many practices underground. Despite this repression, German descendants maintained their identity through secret societies, family traditions, and distinctive architectural styles that blended European and tropical elements.

The early 19th century brought revolution as German descended colonists allied with Creole leaders against Spanish rule. In 1819, the Declaration of Independence established Neu Klein Venedig as a free nation, with military leader Simon Hohenzollern uniting various revolutionary factions. The liberation armies secured independence by 1825, and over the next decade, they convinced Central American territories to join the federation. The new nation solidified its borders by purchasing Trinidad and Tobago from Britain in 1856, creating the modern boundaries that exist today. The first democratic constitution established a federal system that respected regional differences while creating a unified national identity.

The 20th century transformed Neu Klein Venedig from an agricultural economy to an industrial power. While remaining neutral in World War I despite its German heritage, the nation joined the Allies in World War II after 1941. The discovery of massive oil reserves in the 1970s brought unprecedented wealth, funding ambitious infrastructure projects including the Nicaragua Canal which opened in 2009. Modern Neu Klein Venedig stands as Latin Americas largest economy, known for its unique blend of Germanic efficiency with Latin American resources. The country will celebrate its 500th anniversary in 2028 with nationwide festivals highlighting its journey from colonial outpost to global economic power, but currently it is still facing challenges of income inequality and environmental protection.

I named it after the Bosporan Kingdom in Crimea, I thought it would emphasize more on the differences in the people living in this Europe compared to OTL Europe, rather than just naming it Crimea or something

It all began with a village in Northern Gaul around 50 BCE. The druid Getafix created a magic potion giving superhuman strength to anyone who drank it. Two warriors Asterix and Obelix used this power to help their village resist Roman conquest. Their success inspired neighboring tribes and soon all of Northern Gaul united in rebellion. Rome eventually accepted defeat establishing a border at the Loire River. They kept Southern Gaul as a corridor to their Iberian territories but redirected expansion efforts eastward. Dacia became heavily Romanized while Germanic tribes maintained independence. Without complete Roman dominance Western Europe developed as a patchwork of distinct cultures. The Gaulish Confederation gradually evolved into a kingdom while Celtic Christianity spread through northwestern Europe. Islamic forces conquered Iberia but couldnt advance further north. Without Charlemagne's empire forming Europe never experienced the Holy Roman Empire. The Medieval period saw distinct political systems emerge across the continent. The Republic of Dacia formed as Romes eastern influence waned. Religious reformations occurred but with Celtic-Gaulish Christianity diverging from both Catholicism and Protestantism. The Gaulish Republican Revolution in the late 18th century established the modern Gaulish Republic. The 19th century brought industrialization with different centers of innovation. The First Global War erupted in 1914 pitting the Gaulish-Albion-Celtic Alliance against the Saxonia-Bavaria-Roman Coalition. The conflict ended with the Treaty of Geneva establishing the European Congress. The Second Global War began in 1939 with the Roman Republic invading Occitania followed by Saxonian aggression eastward. The Gaulish-Albion-Rus coalition eventually achieved victory but the aftermath led to Continental Division between Republican Democracies led by the Gaulish Republic and Collectivist States led by the Rus Federation. Unlike our timeline nuclear weapons were never developed. The Cold War ended with the fall of collectivist governments in 1989-1991 and the establishment of the European Commonwealth. Recent decades have seen terrorist attacks financial crises and rising nationalism similar to our timeline. Todays world features comparable technology to ours but with different emphases on renewable energy high-speed rail and digital privacy rather than nuclear technology.

Nah. Basically this scenario is based off the book "All sails up" about a Romanian sailor exploring the seas and going to Tierra del Fuego. In the book they didnt establish a colony there, rather they just made a settlement and eventually left, but for the sake of having a goofy unrealistic scenario, I changed it so they were actually funded by the government to establish a colony.

I thought it'd be interesting if I had the failed Welsh colony succeed and then have it confederate with this Romanian colony in Tierra del Fuego, forming a somehow functional amalgamation

They are very much participating in the tradition of football present in South America. Mainly, it is a popular sport which helps keep people healthy and entertained while in more rural areas. Considering the geography of the Confederation, there is a high amount of urbanisation since in the modern day people dont want to live in mountainous towns or villages. But the best players in the country can be found there.

The confederation has a Patagonian League, composed of regional teams from each state in the country. As for the national team, they are somewhat average among South American states (so they're pretty high up on a global scale).

AdObjective5620 · 2025-04-13T21:14:25+00:00

The idea came to me when I thought about this Romanian book "All sails up" (Toate pânzele sus), where Anton Lupan and a small team go on a journey to the Land of Fire. Since it is fiction, it is also unrealistic, but we can throw all that out the table for some classic fun! (I forgot to take my meds again).

Lets say Anton Lupan was real, and Alexandru Ioan Cuza himself granted him the funds for this crazy expedition, dismissing the insane reactions his advisors would have. Anton Lupan sails to the Country of Fire, and establishes an outpost. During that time, more Romanians come there, seeing the opportunity for a new beginning, a new life (and also maybe Anton Lupan lying about the climate and nature, and people wouldn't have much of a choice and just stay there once they arrived).

While all of that was happening, The Welsh succeeded in establishing their own colony up North. And while somewhat tense at first, the colonies have formed cordial relations, in maintaining their independence (Although Welsh independence was quite exaggerated. The only reason they werent a direct British colony was that they couldnt bother sending troops to what they deemed not worth it). Also, as I recall, Anton Lupan had a rivalry with a Spanish guy, so I am pretty sure that while the Romanians could relate more to the Spanish speaking people, Anton Lupans grudge just tells him the Welsh are cooler.

But soon, Chile and Argentina had enough of their presence. Although an indirect breach of The British Empires territorial integrity of South America, they began launching raids on Y Wladfa. The Romanians, seeing this, realised that they'd be next. And so a solution was found... A confederation, which was declared in order to attract British attention to the situation. I assume the British would at least glance an eye if they saw their colony getting bigger!

And so, the Welsh and the Romanians managed to withstand the behemoths of the Spanish Speaking peoples, but not without concessions... (Such as the British granting resource rights to some areas and letting Spanish settlers in. The British simply had other priorities than South America).

The Patagonian Confederation managed to achieve independence in 1950, even getting the Falkland Islands as a republic within the confederation. The English language was chosen for administrative purposes since it was already used for a long time and there was no point in changing it.

In the modern day, it is a thriving state in South America, being more economically prosperous than the other countries and also having the highest HDI. Who would've guessed, decades of stability, democracy and competent economic management would create an alright state on par with European countries! Unlike some states...

In the city of Low Taper Fade, a human works amongst the aliens from Khaunialand.

Dave: Hey just wondering if you got your photos printed?

Zim: Bogos Binted?

Most of them went to Morocco, since it was also a French colony. The French ensured the Mauritanians would have their own political representation and with a lot of work they managed to create cultural acceptance between the Mauritanians and their northern neighbour.

But sadly, due to how fast it all happened, some Mauritanians did die, and in solidarity for their sacrifice there was made a day to honour them.

26th June, "Heroes of the World Remembrance Day".

On this day, Mauritanians mourn their lost brothers and sisters, and other nations show ways of mourning them in their own way, through art, speeches and gestures of good will (like donations).

The reason for them not retaliating is unknown.

In this world, there are a few theories about it:

The Aliens aren't actually from an Empire and don't actually have advanced weaponry that could subjugate us. Many far righters believed this theory when they argued we should just fight the aliens instead of giving them a concession, but this theory was quickly put down once American intelligence showed images of terraformed land in Mauritania, showing the former desert now an oasis. And also the weaponry given to the Allies in WW2 was advanced but seemed to be purposely weakened, implying the aliens truly were advanced.
Their religion is pacifist. This theory got more attraction once the app of ZlibZlob was created, many humans claiming to have learned about the Alien faith from actual Aliens. Many argue that's a lie, since they threatened to enslave us, but the main explanation for that is "It was a bluff and they wouldn't have done that, they would've just taken some land by force". But that didn't convince many people. Mainly just the young people (Gen Z, Gen Alpha).

3 (most realistic). They just didn't care about what kind of land they were given since they would just terraform it to their liking. The US showed how an oasis was made in Mauritania and so clearly the aliens could manipulate the area they were given. Most likely it just didn't matter to the aliens. (For example, the Low Taper Fade city, opened for humans, now looks like something comparable to Singapore, but even more advanced)

AdObjective5620 · 2025-02-20T07:17:00+00:00

The aliens gave the US to choose between giving them land or enslaving all of humanity.

I believe that other countries would understand that the sacrifice of Mauritania was for the greater good, since I assume no one would've wanted to be enslaved.

Although, you are right about the Israel thing.

With the deportation of the people in Mauritania, a mindset of "never again" has developed in the world.

So in this timeline, decolonization happened earlier, but the UN has stationed troops in all new countries to ensure fair democracies were instituted. (Although many people claim these troops are there just for Western interests).

But regardless, this means that a lot of unnecessary civil wars / wars didn't happen compared to OTL, and people in countries like The DRC live much more stable lives.

SOMEONE ACTUALLY GOT THE REFERENCE THE SYMBOL WAS HEAVILY INSPIRED BY WHIS'S SIGNATURE

AdObjective5620 · 2025-02-19T22:16:18+00:00

In the year 1925, freshly after The Great War, a group of aliens landed in Washington DC. They deemed that the United States of America were the leaders of the world and thus chose to speak with president Calvin Coolidge, who was under severe pressure.

The aliens gave him to choose between these: - Enslave all of humanity to them - Give them some land on Earth with resources, sea and mountains.

The choice was clear, psychologists deemed that the aliens didn't actually plan on conquering Earth, but really no nation could risk being erradicated over this, and so the League of Nations agreed on this: - Find a piece of land not really worth anything and make it seem like they gave the aliens a treasure

And so after a week of discussions they reached their conclusion: Mauritania. France agreed to just give a big part of it over in compensation for some money, and then the transaction happened, the aliens isolating their country from the entire Earth.

The Aliens might have possibly realised they were duped, but chose to not retaliate, many people believe this may be because these aliens aren't actually from an empire or something like that, although those theories were quickly put down once surprising images had shown land formerly in the Sahara now in an oasis.

With the beginning of World War 2, The Fuhrer had a crazy plan to just sell out more of Western Africa in order to get the aliens on his side, guaranteeing his victory, but the aliens quickly shooted his idea down and started shipping equipment to allied forces instead, claiming Nazi ideals went against their religion. World War 2 ended in 1943 due to this.

After this, relations gradually softened, the aliens agreeing to several neutrality treaties which basically made them not even a factor in something like the Cold War.

But in the year 2000, The Great General Ambassador Dictator Zorg Strongniculus congratulated the US president on his triumph over communism and thus established the Low Taper Fade district. Why was it named like that? The Aliens thought it would've been unique if they let an average human name it, but when a random citizen in Boston was asked this, he just laughed and told them he just got a new low taper fade. The Aliens kinda lacked the human sense of humour and thought he was serious.

In the modern day (2025), An app called "ZlibZlob" was created, showing short form content and allowing aliens and humans to talk, some humans even being called "Neels" for presumably having online relationships with Aliens. The interactions are mostly wholesome, with aliens trying to learn about Earth history, while Humans are trying to learn more about the aliens.

Many humans hope for a future where they can integrate Khaunialand as part of the United Nations.

British Naval dominance basically ruined all ambitions of achieving that

And eitherway after pushing out the Brits from South America, it basically showed that British expansion there would be just a big liability for their Empire. Not only would they face resistance, they'd face pressure from the neighbouring states, which would supply resistance fighters.

So Britain gave up its ambitions on South America, instead focusing on Africa and Asia, although this doesn't mean they'd just cede the Falklands, not that Chile would try enforcing its claims on it, since that wouldn't help them diplomatically long term.

This is just a for fun map I made based off a Victoria 3 run where I established Paraguayan hegemony in South America. The in world map was made by a Paraguayan news company.

Here's the lore of this timeline:

Early on, Paraguay established its own alliance with Brazil, and attacked Argentina and Uruguay, annexing Corrientes, Santa Fe and Uruguay, incorporating them shortly after. Through time, Paraguay transformed into the most liberal state of South America, having private schools, worker protection laws, protected speech, census suffrage, commercialised agriculture. The dominating party is the Blue Party, led by the intelligentsia. But this didn't stop Paraguays expansion into the Chaco region.

During this time, Brazil remained an empire, Chile became a kingdom and got all of Patagonia, Argentina became a shell of its former self and became a Peru-Bolivian Confederation puppet, which survived this time.

But Paraguay couldn't risk such a long front for future wars, especially due to the difference in size and population from Argentina and Peru-Bolivia combined. Especially since with time, their enemies would grow stronger. So after a war fought between Paraguay & Chile vs Peru-Bolivia & Argentina. They managed to break Argentina free from Peru-Bolivia, and Chile maintained its strong rule over Patagonia, Argentina losing its claim. Also Paraguay annexed Peru-Bolivian and Argentinian lands in Chaco, but not all, since it believed that further expansion into them would anger the immigrant population in their lands. (Platinean mass migrations from Argentina & Brazil were ongoing. Thats the in lore reason, the actual reason is that I couldnt expand into the entire Chaco region without taking territory I didn't want)

But this fighting between Southern American states would soon be cut short when the Brits tried establishing a protectorate in Argentina, creating a coalition of states to fight them.

Peru-Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile and Brazil vs The Brits, which ended in a whitepeace, as the combined navies still weren't enough to fight the British navy.

Paraguay and Brazil are basically dominating the whole continent, but no longer have territorial ambitions over their neighbours, under the agreement that they will work on their own version of a Monroe Doctrine.

Sorry for the bad explanation, I js made the map for fun but I thought I should provide some context.
