the study of flags.

So, this is the thread where you can post everything which comes to your mind related to flags in the NSC universe. From legends and stories behind your flags to historical and sub-national flags or just random "rate my flag" requests, this is the place to talk about it all! :D

and I was kind of bored

I will gladly make a visual upgrade to any flag if only the country owner wishes. Ask anytime.

If you are really bored, then one of the things which I have planned to do for like 5 years now, is to make the Zombiran flag properly symetrical (as when i first made it, it was quickly done in paint and for example the red triangles are all different sizes). So if you wish to do some minor pixel changes and stuff, then feel free.

I don't know if you're talking about the icons or just the whole flag, but the icons of the 4 new nations in NSC (Biflovatia, Smileyland & Folegandria, Vylkuzeme and Luxona) are yet to be made, but I don't know who makes them.

I do. And I've made Biflovatia, Smileyland and Vylkuzeme already, but they need to be uploaded by Juki.

I'll make Luxona later.

And i was talking about the whole flag. And it's just a thing that always bothered me. Flags is the kind of graphics that need to be clean and aesthetic. And the average NSC flag is neither. Major problems:
- overall quality: sharp edges, lack of symmetry where it should be
- pictures (compare the animals of Ansmum and Llama to see what I mean)
- too many flashy, bright, badly matched colors
- graphic effects like gradients, etc. (Bigicia would've been the best flag of the lot if not the random grunge brushes)

Ahh why not :D

So a long time ago there were these tribal villagers who were one of the first ancestors of Stelettio, an ancient island. They were known as the 'Rumani' people.
During the 16th century, 400,000 Rumanis traveled the seas and settled to an island called Elysion.

Elysion had culture unfamiliar to the Rumanis. Back in Stelettio, the god of Sun was worshipped. In Elysion, the god of the moon was worshipped.

Centuries have passed and the Elysion Rumanis lived in harmony. It was not until 1945 when the civil war began in the newly independent nation of Winterlune...

1945 Winterlune Civil War
On the 9th of July 1945, an estimated 1,873,000 Elysion Rumanis were kept prisoners during the Winterlune Civil War in the years 1945 to 1949, some of whom fled to their death. Although these refugees have been classed as political refugees there have been claims that they were also targeted due to their ethnic and cultural identities. Almost 1,000,000 Elysion Rumanis had sided with the attackers from Winterlune which in 1934 had expressed its intent to "fight for the national self-determination of the repressed Elysion Rumanis".

United Sunettia (the nation which occupied Stelettio at the time) and Winterlune have always been in disagreement about the Sun and the Moon. Thus, when a Solar or Lunar eclipse occurred, controversy between the two nations would occur, resulting in violence against the citizens of the two nations. The (at the time) newly seated Communist Party of Winterline declared capture of all Elysion Rumanis residing in Winterlune during the day of the 9th of July Solar Eclipse in 1945.

Recently, the country of Winterlune has collapsed and is now replaced by Alexandria. Mr. Jay, the Prime Minister of Alexandria has voided the Winterlunian citizenship of the remaining 520,230 Elysion Rumanis.​

On the 28th of March, 2013, 520,000 Elysion Rumanis redeem themselves as Sunettian citizens once more.

The remaining 230 Elysion Rumanis embarked on a journey to a land far away, and now reside in the continent of Waiting Lististan. With influence from gods of the Sun and Moon, the Elysion Rumanis worshipped a lone wolf, known as Lucia.

This lone wolf was thought to be the reincarnation of the god of the sunrise. As of (oh crap I forgot when I joined!), the Elysion Rumanis were known as the people of Santa d'Lucia.

Slightly annoying, but not that bad

- pictures (compare the animals of Ansmum and Llama to see what I mean)
Kinda dislike random pics as well


- too many flashy, bright, badly matched colors
Don't see it as a problem at all

- graphic effects like gradients, etc. (Bigicia would've been the best flag of the lot if not the random grunge brushes)
Agree with the opinion that using too much effects is bad and that in a perfect world flags would only have afew different colours on them.

Okay, Edvinola has definitely the best flag of them all. xbow Even though it's stolen from a historical territory in western Africa.

Halito
I swear the quality of my flag has diminished with age :lol: It'll have to be touched up at some point to get rid of all that pixellation (and also the asymmetry), but I'll do that myself :p

HalitoFlag.png


The history behind Halito's flag has never been fully divulged, so here we go...

Halito originally consisted of a handful of small tropical islands off the coast of Yaponesia, inhabited by Yaponesians who had grown disillusioned with their government to the point of abandoning it to create a country of their own. As such, the architecture was initially fairly primitive, and the standard house was made with wood and banana leaves. This is depicted in the flag as a small round window with the harsh sunlight streaming in, framed by said banana leaves. The shade of pink represents Halito's most renowned export - watermelons (and in fact that was the name of that particular colour in MS Paint at the time :p ).

Ansmum's flag is, and will continue to be, a reflection of the nation itself: an irrelevance that serves as an occasional source of disappointment for other serious nations. And long may it last! xcheer1

This is Surstrumpa (Sour Sock), a famous profile in Ugaly. He is a sentient left sock of the same design as the original socks worn by the founder of Ugaly, the explorer Doo E. Fuel. Fuel's socks are said to be the inspiration for the Ugly flag, adopted at the time of the nation's founding in the 18th century.

To this day, smelly feet remains a symbol of pride and beauty for Ugly citizens.
