JEDCJT Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Realizing that a new Flag would be needed to replaced the current one, which is the official flag of the Country of Byzantium, Parliament has established a new commission to create a new Flag "more fitting as to better reflect the status of the United Kingdom and its four Countries." This was apparently done to counteract the perception of Byzantium's 'domination' within the UK. "The current flag of the UK is that of Byzantium's. Does that mean we are actually under Byzantium's dominance, and it is actually Byzantium that pulls the strings of the entire UK?" One Greek MP complained in a session of Parliament. After days and weeks of deliberations and revising, the commission, under the aegis of the UK Flag Commission, finally unveiled the new Flag. "The purpose of the new Flag is to symbolize the equal status of all Countries within the UK. Elements from every Country flags were carefully considered as they went into the design of the flag." The head of the UK Flag Commission, Henrik Aaron, stated today to an audience in Constantinople. The new Flag is as follows: With that, the new proposed flag is now up for public scrutiny. The UK populace will vote whether to accept or reject the proposed flag, or if some modifications should be made. The current UK flag. It is also the flag of the Country of Byzantium. OOC: I made that flag on MS Paint (the first one, that is). Also, the quorum will be 25 votes. =3 Edited April 7, 2009 by JEDCJT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Wilding Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Alvonia wonders if the UK Flag Commision will create a flag for Atler's new regime... Atler praises the flag in his latest speech and calls it "a great flag for a great nation". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 The New flag is too...british. For a nation whose lands reside in the Old Eastern Roman Empire, your english influence isnt apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manetheren Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 No. The various symbols in the new flag are essentially meaningless to the people, while the current flag represents them. What, for example do the various colored crosses mean? They have no historical context like the current flag does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergerberger II Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 OOC: I really do hope that you know that the flag of the United Kingdom is compromised of the three flags of England, Scotland, and the Cross of St. Patrick. It has significant historical value to anyone in the United Kingdom, and represents all three parts of the UK quite well... IC: We do not support the making of this new flag to be the that of the UK. It has no representation of the UK, while the current one does represent it rather well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedran Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 OOC: Unless you are planning to conquer the British Isles, the flag should stay as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEDCJT Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Polling has been closed. Voting has now ended and the results are as follows: approximately 58% of the UK population voted against the new proposed flag, while 33% voted their support and 8% supported the proposed flag with modifications. After deliberations, Parliament has now decided to reject the proposed flag and to retain the current flag. “It’s only a flag, who cares about how it looks?” James Mehmed, a Liberal MP, stated in Parliament to disappointed Greek and Transcaucasian MPs today. “What is more important is what the flag represents, and the current one does that pretty well.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris of Khi Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I hate both designs... they kind of suck in my opinion, you should try a new direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
