Look at the Arabian peninsula.

See that point between Hedjaz, Damman, Oman and Yemen?

That's some fine-lookin' borders there. Other countries take note.

You are wrong, these borders are terrible. Does Yemen border Damman? Does Oman border Hedjaz? Can you go from the first of either of these couples to the second or vice versa without stepping into one of the other couple?

Somewhat tying into flagchat and Burgundychat, the red flag doesn't even become a socialist/communist symbol until the 1848 Paris commune. If the social unrest in Paris in 1848 (if any happens) is explicitly anti-Burgundian, I feel like the red flag could become a French symbol (as opposed to the tricolor) while the sky's the limit for communist flags' colors.

You had better keep Sultans of Azerbaijan updated once V2 gets going. I'm making a ruler personality system for V2 pretty much entirely for that purpose.

Here's flags for Cascadia. I assumed that the area was settled by swedes unlike the Norwegian Vestland and Christania, so I went ahead and made them with that in mind. This Swedish probably is absolutely terrible since it's mostly google translate.

Democratic Cascadia. Can you guess the reference?

Monarchist and Republican Cascadia:

Going with the "no hammer and sickle challenge," this Communist Cascadia uses the prebolshevik flag syle of vomiting words everywhere at you:

The fascist flag was very uncomfortable to make, but it's finished now:

Any suggestions on what I should try and make next?

These are awesome. I'm personally hoping we lose Anatolia and end up keeping the Caucasus. A pillar seems to be a nice unifying symbol of that region, so maybe a Phoenix atop a pillar is we only have the Caucasus and some small outlying territories?

Considering that Mysore didn't own Mysore, changing it to Nagpur makes a lot of sense.

Parts of Burma, all of Bengal and a big chunk of Eastern India, (a rather rump) Brazil, two stretches of West African coastline, and various and sundry islands. Given that Espanya and Portugal have been hammered pretty hard in the colonial empire field, Italy probably has the world's biggest colonial empire.

In V2 there aren't state/province religions (though each nation has a "permanent state religion" that is the favored one when moralism et al are the law of the land, a stupid hardcoding limitation imo). Instead there's the POP system, which allows for a detailed census of the nation. So yes, there will be Sihks in India, regardless of whether there's an official Sihk state.

These are wonderful. Wiz, please use one of these.

I know people were complaining about the use of a sickle and hammer for Communism so perhaps fire could become a symbol for the far left instead? It might serve as a representation of enlightenment or the fires of revolution that brought them into power.
