Most of that seems easy to solve, just take whatever people fill in during the census at its face value and only update after each census. Stateless nations may be a problem, but I'm sure we'll find a way But what if a significant portion of a state chooses their state as their ancestry? for example let's say the plurality of Texans report their ancestry as Texan / Texas.

2100 is, has been said, a credit union, 1154 is a pharmaceutical company, 944 looks like an animation lifted from an episode of Scooby Doo, and 1953’s color palate is depressing. Ban flag nerds from flag competitions IMO.

Phlegmish posted:I really like that suggestion, only issue I see is that half of the states would be German, German, and German States that end up with identical flags are immediately merged into a single state. MMA-style fights are held as needed to determine which governor, senators, etc. remain in power in the new superstate and which are exiled to Guam.

Colorado's flag is corporate logo garbage, but somehow so bad that it loops back into charming. and honestly it probably helps that seeing the coloradan banner in the modern US probably makes people think of pretty mountains and original weed state.

Each state flag displays a number indicating its order of admission to the United States. The background for all of them is blue, but the shade indicates the first letter of the state. Alaska’s flag has a 49 on a very pale blue. Virginia has a 10 on a very dark blue.

A standard cheap flag is already transparent. The US flag is a very good example, because the sun coming through the stars forms a cross of light and inspires a million southern evangelicals to cry about eagles and troops and 9/11. I'd post a picture here of the cross coming through on the flag, but googling USA flag cross just turns up a million tacky decorations.

Each state flag is the shape of the state, and will consist of a single field in the color of the state food, containing an image of the state bird and one to three stars, number based on circumstances of admission to the union and placement based on predominant biome. I will be taking no questions at this time.

SlothfulCobra posted:I don't think any of these finalist flags are very iconic to Minnesota as a whole, none of them really seem very iconic in their own right or have all that much symbolism to the land of lakes. the symbolism is that minnesota is the headwaters of the Mississippi river, which is an extremely important body of water throughout the history of this land. i don't know if i like that flag overall but its symbolism of the Mississippi and the Northern Lights is spot on the river was important before europeans showed up too, so it also has some symbolism in trying to say "oops" for the turbo racist current flag
