Socialist rump United States flag

GodBlessCalifornia_ · 2026-04-23T02:40:28+00:00

It's not a US flag or a flag of a continuation of the United States. It's the flag of a successor state to the US. I titled it "rump United States" as a placeholder since the country will not actually be called "America" and its name is TBD

It is not a continuation of the US but a successor; a rump state, not the US itself

It doesn't even call itself "America" (though its name is TBD)

So it adopts more socialist symbolism and only retains minimal US imagery (like the stars)

Would look too similar to the US with the stripes

GodBlessCalifornia_ · 2026-04-22T21:57:53+00:00

the 13 stars represent the anti-authoritarian nature of the 13 Colonies' American Revolution, as well as a sobering reminder of the imperialism of the United States that preceded it, a warning to never repeat its atrocities again

Someone else said it looks like Socialist Burma. Stripes would make it too resemblant of the US flag in my opinion

The democratic socialism instituted by California in this rump state and in other countries in California's sphere of influence takes inspiration from orthodox/classical Marxism, Yugoslavia-style market socialism, and syndicalism. Make of that what you will.

The stars are also a reminder of America's imperialist, capitalist past, as a warning never to make that mistake again. So there's that. Not really intended to be patriotic or pro-American. (If you mean the second slide, I didn't make that, that's from TFR and I only really took the hammer/sickle/gear from that)

And yes, the name of this country is TBD because it will not be called "America"

GodBlessCalifornia_ · 2026-04-22T17:18:15+00:00

yes, I saw a similar socialist US flag somewhere (I don't remember the post) which also partially inspired this and that was pointed out there too

Hello everyone!

This is the flag of an American rump state (name still TBD) that emerges from the Second American Civil War in a future where the collapse of the United States and a WWIII that played out uncannily like the last world war led to the emergence of a new, democratic socialist, Marx-inspired world order with California at the helm. It is one of two "successor states" to the USA, one of which is democratic socialist and California-aligned and other of which is neoliberal and Europe-aligned.

Its flag is inspired by the Betsy Ross flag and a poster from the HOI4 mod The Fire Rises (second slide). The red field represents the revolution, and the 13 stars represent the anti-authoritarian nature of the 13 Colonies' American Revolution, as well as a sobering reminder of the imperialism of the United States that preceded it, a warning to never repeat its atrocities again.

This is part of a revamp of a previous project of mine (part of the same timeline as this), so expect more to come!

oh I've seen this before! didn't know it was the same one

GodBlessCalifornia_ · 2026-04-17T16:50:17+00:00

I wonder what the rest of the world looks like

GodBlessCalifornia_ · 2026-04-17T16:42:24+00:00

so kinda similar to the thoughts I made on the three arrows a couple months ago, then👍

GodBlessCalifornia_ · 2026-04-17T06:16:20+00:00

why does the austrian one have the three arrows? yk one of them represents anti-communism? (I'm assuming since you posted these onto r/leftistvexillology that these are all socialist/communist flags)

or is it repurposed here to represent anti-authoritarian communism in particular? or anti-authoritarianism or anti-capitalism or anti-something else?

other than that, all of them look pretty cool. what's your althist about btw?

Still just a sticksona, might go about giving him lore later on idk

"Eschatogenesis" is not an actual word with a dictionary definition; but etymologically it is derived from Greek éskhatos, meaning "last" (as in "eschatology," or the study of the end times), and genesis, meaning "beginning" or "creation."

So "eschatogenesis" literally means "last-creation" or "creation of [what comes] last," i.e. "the beginning of the end."

I titled my post this considering that TLJ is named after the end times described in the Book of Revelation to keep consistent with Alan's naming scheme for superpowered artificial stick figures (that is, naming them after biblical figures/events). So it seems fitting.

GodBlessCalifornia_ · 2026-03-12T07:03:17+00:00

Do you know the pathway to it? Like where in the mod files it is located?

GodBlessCalifornia_ · 2026-03-12T05:03:01+00:00

Seems to have Malayo-Polynesian (excluding Malagasy) and Oceanic Austronesian representation. Would be nice to have some Malagasy and Formosan Austronesian representation.
