 What's weird is that there are maps of krypton in the comic as well, and none of them match the planet on the flag.

Unless the maps were in the same issue as that flag panel, they probably weren't as finicky about details back then as today's nerds.

Found this one. Native American flags are interesting collections of alternative symbology and different approaches to graphic design, and this flag breaks a few flag rules but is very striking. Possibly this is also another case of this just being a seal made into a flag, but I feel like the rules of seals are also against using maps. That is a map of their reservation but also an eagle.  Yeah, the reservation is around a river called Bad River, I don't know why. The full federally recognized english name for them is the Bad River LaPointe Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians. They call the river the Mashkii ziibii. But also if you look at a bigger version of the flag, it seems like all of the art in the lower half of the circle was drawn at different times or drawn from different sources, they've got really different line thicknesses, and the fish looks like a photo just dropped in there.

I recently visited the US Naval Academy and this flag code was on the wall in a bathroom. Surely this is the right place for some bright spark to figure out what it means?

Pretty sure it's an attempt to render ICS maritime signal flags using just black and red, but I think they're going for "beat."

It's pretty bad but it's made worse by the fact that the colorist clearly gave less than no shits. "Oh gently caress I ran out of colors. Uh... this one on the other side of the red is also light green. Perfect. Print it, I'll be in my office with another mid-day scotch".

I find it ironic that many of these professions demand their own color of thin line, when a good chunk of them wouldn't respect which letter of LGBTQ someone would self-identify as.

in 2018, when I worked at Paradox (a Swedish video games company making map-painting strategy games), I was responsible for making content for Mexico in the Second World War game, Hearts of Iron 4. The flags made for Mexico in earlier games appeared to be fictional, so I resolved to do some research and change them where it made sense. In HoI4, flags usually depend on government/ideology type. Politics is split into 4 ideologies, which are meant to help direct geopolitics and wars of aggression: democratic (sides with America/Britain), fascist (sides with Germany/Japan), communist (sides with USSR) and neutral (avoids joining the major geopolitical blocs unless attacked). It's important that different ideologies in the game have different flags and names, because they can exist at the same time if they are in a civil war. Mexico starts as neutral, since in 1936 it was a one-party state with sham elections that had just left a period of intense civil war (religious dissidents and regionalists fighting against the atheist central government of president Calles). They begin with the 1934-1968 flag:  Mexico If Mexico stays utterly stagnant they might keep that flag, but more likely the player/AI will pursue some programme of reforms to change the internal politics of the country. Historically Mexico gradually liberalised politically and economically, with the civil war-era generals retiring and the tendency for military coups being replaced by genuine elections. In game, the democracy path would result in the 1975-present flag:  The United Mexican States Alternatively, if the player decides to side with one of those civil war-era generals (like Calles or Cedillo), they create a revanchist fascist state, using an earlier flag (1823-24)  The Mexican Junta Moving on to the less official and fictional flags, what if those religious dissidents came back with a vengeance? Probably unlikely in reality, but HoI4 players love weird alt-history. If the Cristero movement takes power, it can either set up a democratic system using a fictional flag based on the cross of Saint John (which I think was related to the Knights of Columbus, an American organisation that had aided the Cristeros and helped the government sign a peace deal with them):  The Mexican Republic This flag doesn't look super great in-game, because the gold cross isn't very distinct from the white on either side. The Cristeros could also set up a more hard-line government, seeking revenge for the injustices that received, and persecute the atheists, represented as fascism in-game. Their flag is based on a real Cristero flag, seen in a photograph, but with the Mexican coat of arms removed so that the Lady of Guadalupe is comparatively larger and easier to see.  Catholic Mexico Finally, what about communism? Of the two paths I made, the agrarian socialism path is the more realistic. The incumbent president, Lázaro Cárdenas, had a power base amongst urban socialists, trades unionists and peasant organisations unhappy with being sidelined under the more authoritarian predecessors. Historically, Cárdenas wanted his ideological ally Francisco Múgica to succeed him, but the party settled on the moderate Manuel Ávila Camacho as a compromise between the left and the right of the single-party state. If the player pushes ahead with Múgica and genuinely transforms the country into a communist society, I decided the flag of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation would be pretty appropriate:  The Mexican Socialist Republic Alternatively, a more conventional Bolshevik-style communist government can form if the player empowers USSR-aligned communist militias (the Red Shirts). I figured that since the events of the game are happening before the USSR swept through Europe and popularised the "old tricolour with a communist coat of arms on top" motif, Mexico might use something more original.  The Mexican Soviet Republic This flag is based on a 1994 Communist Party logo, minus the text and hammer and sickle. It looked better in my head. The 2d artist made the black borders a little too thick, so it looks bad in game. Players hate this flag. Finally, there's a flag that isn't meant to appear in-game, but I added as a kind of easter egg:  The Third Mexican Empire It only appears if Mexico has a neutral puppet government installed after pursuing the Cristero or agrarian socialist paths (not intentionally, just due to how cosmetic country tags work behind the scenes). I hope you enjoyed this flag chat.

gently caress players, I'm really fond of the  mexican soviet flag. The actual USSR and constituent republics had some pretty uninspired flags themselves.That said, Victoria modders are queen and empress of the flag game.

Got to say, whatever their politics, those fascist Uyghurs have a pretty striking flag design. I'd have gone with a slightly darker blue, though.
