Hi there, everyone! It's become quite trendy to do regional maps using the flags of the nations that inhabit the region now. Though I am still 100% committed to using our wonderful, hand-crafted map of unparalleled detail, I think it would be cool to have an additional regional map that shows-off the various flags of the region. To show you what this would look like, here's a real-life version of Europe: And here's one of Fereldan (part of Avaerilon) that I made earlier:So, what do I need from you?I need as high-resolution a copy of your flag as possible, in .png format, please, if at all possible. You also need to be on the Regional Map; if not, go right ahead and sign-up! To do so, see this page.I've already made some good headway, though the process if still quite labour-intensive. The sooner more of you send me via private message images of your flags, the sooner we'll have this shiny new map up-and-running. Post below to confirm if you've sent me an image of your flag, and also if you'd like to leave a comment in-general about this little project. Looking forward to mapping you!

Here's a sneak preview of the WIP map- or at least part of it ;)

I have a fairly hi-res version of the Caschian flag for you to use. :)

Thanks :) I tried looking too; odd that Wikipedia doesn't have have a large .svg or .png.

After much debate, it has been decided that the official flag of the UDS will be an image of the quaternary structure of hemoglobin. The structure of the protein serves as a great highlight of the complexity and aesthetic quality of the well examined universe, and symbolically serves as a reference to blood and oxygen, making it a representation of human passion and energy as well. The choice has been met with some opposition by scientists who are not biologists or chemists, and traditionalists who wish for a more conventional flag design. Regardless, the change was passed by the Civil Affairs Assembly by a margin of 54.7%.

Lovely; I think this will be the first flag in history to have a haemoglobin on it!
