Would the real world accept your NS flag?

Let's say your NS nation was located in say, the pacific or atlantic as an ocean. It's 2004 and you've been around for as long as anyone can remember. How would your flag, which most people would recognize, be accepted?

Colombia would hate us to death.

Because we have their flag. :D

The alternative was having some hot anime chick on it, but I'm not One Infinate Loop.

My flag would probably come across pretty good, as it looks like it might actually be a flag.

I personally think the world wouldn't have anything against my flag. It's clean and simple.

By the way Keruvalia, did you do that yourself? It looks fantastic!

It's kind of large. It might be a pain in the ass to fly.

I'm considering making my flag smaller, but that too is a pain in the ass, heh.

I found out that NS will take a .gif extension pic, so you can make it nicely detailed without worrying too much about size.

I used Adobe Photoshop to make it.

My flag is a real flag too, the Eureka flag and a part of Australian history. Well, sort of. I did a google search and found an Australian newspaper which thought that Labour are communists and he had imposed a USSR style hammer and sycle on the image of the Eureka flag because of course all labour movements are communistic. :rolleyes: Eureka flag (http://www.ausflag.com.au/flags/images/eureka.gif)

My flag is a psychedelic one, it says love on it and the o is a peace sign. It might offend extremist, radical, conservatives, but other than that, i think it would be fine...lol.

'Tis based on a real flag, with colours more relevant to my NS nation ;). The original blue and white version of this flag was used by a group of Australian miners in the mid 19th century as they striked and clashed with police. It's basically the Australian version of the US confederate/rebel flag, without the whole slave controversy.

I think it would be accepted...in certain circles :p

Mine would be accepted, seeing as it's just one of the stock flags and it already belongs to some real-life country or other...

Meh. I should make myself a flag.

They'd prolly think I was a UN puppet with my flag (the UN logo)

And then my other nation, Super-power, would probably be percieved as a bunch of rebels, as my flag is that of the rebel group (from a sci-fi) Anti-Earth United Government (AEUG)

I certainly think so. It's nice, clean, symbolic and easily recognised. Looks like something out of a sci-fi, though - but that was my intended effect!

The original version was created by me (a 10 minute job in MS Paint), but this one was made by my region leader, Thracia.
