The true insanity to me is that you're ok with changing something as fundamental as your name but not the uninspired flag. Autearoa could do way better than this

This is an actually good modernistic flag

For an airline frequent flyer card.

As a nordic cross haver, I'm deeply jealous of Greenland and Sápmi. They're the only ones of us who get it (although the sami flag green makes it look a little busy and with more contrast shading it could pop more)

The Swedes and the various separatist "countries" can gently caress right off too, God gave Denmark the flag, all the others are just rip-offs.
Also I'm pretty sure the white represents god's truth or whatever, and the red represents the blood of the Estonians we were raiding converting

You totally stole yours from the crusaders. Now you're blaming us for understanding colour theory and making the thing look good

I hardly think all those people suffering under the evil Danish crusaders appreciated anything about that harsh flag design.

They certainly didn't after we liberated them
if they had any sense :argh:

Maybe they just need an alternate dark version for winter

We did, it got replaced in 1905 with the light blue+yellow version. The original swedish flag was dark navy blue and gold. It looks more regal and dignified but also, you know. Oppressive.

What they really should have done is not call them states, and beat anyone still obtuse about pretending they're like actual (nation) states with individual rights and laws and stuff. Unions are for labour.

i have to respect this for taking the "star inside the crescent moon" variant and making it even more physically impossible. neil degrasse tyson is going to be pissed

And that's why astrophysicists do not get paid to create iconography. The singular value flags and symbols should have is "looks good and can be facsimiled with 5 seconds of stressed graffiti". Anything else can be sorted by post facto justification nerds

Also tricolours are dumb and scandinavian cross flags were a mistake without a federation

It's a colourblind texas flag. It's like building a new car and making sure it looks exactly like a cheap Ford. The others at least have an identity.

It’s a flag that looks like a flag. It’s recognizable, understated, and is going to hang vertically really well. It has a unique design element that feels like it should’ve been invented at some point before this.

It’s just a Good Flag. It’s not a bold statement about a new direction for flag design, it’s just quietly very very solid. And I think that’s great!

Everything you like is everything I want to punish

I mean if the rightmost field is a high contrast colour to the blue, like the white of the polestar, that would make 1953 look better.

You're arguing for the Arabic equivalent of putting Tolkien elven script on a flag. It's an ethos, but are you entirely sure about this?
