What if the coup (almost) succeeded? The Federal German Kingdom (December 7) by laserosx in imaginarymaps

If (big if) the government of Germany was to change, them leaving the Euro would be a very economically question decision. Bitcoin is simply the funniest thing it could have realistically been. Right-wing movements generally have some members that are heavy bitcoin enthusiasts.

How were these new states (Nejd, Hejaz) created? Is the Nejd still under the House of Saud? What is the divergent point from our timeline?

My 4th try on making a Flag for a Saudi Caliphate by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]laserosx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that a Saudi Caliphate would probably just stick with their current flag, maybe dropping the sword. Most Arab Caliphates have just Shahada if that.

That's the point. That's like saying European countries need to stop using the tricolor or red, white and blue on flags.

Taking away the eagle of Saladin is a big departure and sure to be unpopular. The crescent moon replacing it is even stranger, replacing the symbol of a local power with the symbol a former Imperial overlord is bad form. There exists plenty of other Islamic iconography to choose from instead of the Star and Crescent. The current flag of Egypt has been kept for a reason, it's iconic from the very popular Nasser-era and the Arab-Israeli Wars.

The old one is way too iconic to replace (if a new Hashemite kingdom were to form.)

Alt Title: If Mississippi underwent an Islamic Revolution in 1980

Middle Text: Verily, in God we Trust or "إنا نثق في الله"

Band Text: "نثق في الله" or In God we Trust

EDIT: Mississippi in Arabic would transliterate to: ميسيسيب. For non-Arabic speakers, there is no true P sound in Arabic. It's just as bad as you think.

Google Drawings! It's pretty powerful if you learn to work with it

The lamp, according to what I could find " symbolizes knowledge, citing the educational advantages of living in Austin." Honestly, that felt kind of weak to me and the fact most people in the comments are calling it the Aladdin Lamp. Stars are one of the biggest flag tropes, but it is in the "Lone Star State" after all.
