Glorious new update

Thanks for the update!!!!!!!

that was fast

@Zandrus A few weeks late but from what I remember it was just a few normal flags like Lebanon that I updated after doing the Kaiserreich versions.

What did you add in this new update, friend?

@hanwoo1936 Thank you for the input, I am always welcome to any sort of suggestions or critique as a fair bit of the flags have been helped with it.
As for the country names sadly it has been something bothering me for a few years is non-English versions as I only do the mods alone there isn't anyway I could effectively translate them using a basic site or AI would feel to disingenuous and would likely cause many issues but since the mod is pure localization I am 100% fine with any edit mods or translations,

Hello, first of all, thank you for the detailed response. I hadn't looked into it very thoroughly, so there were a lot of errors. I wasn't used because I'm not very familiar with English, but I guess I should subscribe to the Alpine: Country Names mod and start with the translations...
Anyway, thank you! I always use the mod well!

5. For democratic Laos it uses the kingdom flag as it was a constitutional monarchy with elections from 1951, as for the fascist flag the only info on that variant was a single version from 2014 from wikipedia which has no historical source except a defuncy paradox forum post likely a ficticous version made for an older game.
6. British Malaya is fixed with the country name mod as it is renamed to the Federate Malay states which makes more sense as non british malaya even in base game is the Federation of Malaya
which was preceded by the Malay Union which inturn was preceed by the Federated Malay States, also the Shenton Thomas thing was probably a misunderstanding from early Hoi4 devs to streamline the territory not to mention 3 of the other leaders where involved in the Malay states rather than singapore or the straights settlements.

@hanwoo1936
3. Saudi flag is the post 1938 one as it was used throughout the entirety of the war and is more relevant to the 10 years of game time it would exists as to the 2 the other would in Hoi4's time frame, unless pdx adds a cosmetic for a flag change in a future dlc or update then it will likely stay.
4. I will change Burma flag, did it initially to counter the broken scripted effects but doesn't really matter as it is less jarring than Canada or India for example

@hanwoo1936 A few of these problems can be resolved with the country names mod which whilst not required to function I did makes as one anyway as it fixes the growing disparity and accuracy and anachronism in some cosmetic tags also for the ones you suggested.
1. Reichskommisariat flags differ as with the country names and flags I've made the more accurate to the actual "new order" plans of Germany with the historical and planned general ost territories as kommisariats and the other subjugated nations either protectorates such as britain and kolonies for regions like africa which where to be put under more traditional economic colonial rule.
2. The colours for Fascist Serbia differ as from what I can find the brighter yugoslaviaesque colour scheme was only standarized with the formation of DFR Yugoslavia to match the other nations flags if any real pictures or documentation of it matching those colours can be found then I will change it.

6. British Malaya's Democracy flag is incorrect. The current flag for British Malaya is that of the Federated Malay States. However, considering the mention on the Hearts of Iron 4 Wiki that British Malaya was inspired by the Straits Settlements, the fact that the in-game leader of British Malaya is set as Shenton Thomas(who was the Governor of the Straits Settlements) and that its capital is listed as Singapore, it seems preferable to change the flag to that of the Straits Settlements. I've attached a link to the flag from that period for your reference.

Since comments over 1000 characters won't post, I split it into multiple parts. I always use your mods well. Thank you!

5. I would like to see the flags for Laos's different ideologies corrected. For Democracy, I may think it should be the same as the Communist flag; for Non-Aligned, it should be as in (1); and for Fascism, it should be as in (2). The Non-Aligned flag is almost identical but slightly different... I've attached links to the (1) and (2) flags for your reference.

3. Saudi Arabia's Non-Aligned flag is incorrect. It might be a minor difference, but... I've attached a link to the flag from that era for reference.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Saudi_Arabian_flags#/media/File:Flag_of_Saudi_Arabia_(1934%E2%80%931938).svg

4. British Burma's Democracy flag is incorrect. Historically, the 1936 flag of British Burma was identical to the UK's. However, considering in-game convenience, replacing it with the newly created 1939 British Burma flag would be preferable. I've attached a link to the flag from that era for your reference.

Hello, thank you for always providing such great mods. I'd like to propose a more realistic approach to national flags.

1. How about replacing all Reichskommissariat flags with swastikas? Historically, Germany used the swastika on its Reichskommissariat flag, so this seems more realistic! Most Reichskommissariat already have swastikas as their flags, but the Reichskommissariat Großbritannien and the Reichskommissariat Nordamerika, among others, have their own unique flags.

2. I wish the colors of Serbia's Fascist flag were a bit darker. The current flag is too faint. I've attached a link to the flag from that era for reference.

I like your Latin America additions, Xander! Great job as always!

Hey boss man, I made a mod using your one of your Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth flags; all it does it make one of them set for the neutral party (it was set other parties) I can add you as a collaborator if you want! I do have a link to here on the desc

Very cool update!

Yeah, it's a shame it could be the red banner field with the gold cost of arms the Communist Argentina flag had, for a placeholder atleast.

The issue now is Paradoxes Mesopotamia flag with nothing. I have a feeling the Assyria flags would make sense but, that's just a repeat basically.

@Zandrus I did change Brazil's but for Argentina there wasn't too much I could find that' wasn't severely anachronistic or fictional and unlike Brazil there really wasn't any historical flags they had to easily work as a basis.

I have a question, why do you keep the Brasil/Argentine South American flags be the same as their original ones they have?

I love the Fascist Uk flag

@XanderWalrus

Disregarding the horrible ahistoric decisions by Paradox on using Mola of leading the Falangist directory/path, my PC has unfortunately taken another hit recently.

I will scour many sources for flag proposals, but I do know from Stanley Paynes "Falange" book, that the flag of the Spanish Empire with the Falange arrows in the middle would not be accepted, as the Falangists despised the red and yellow Bourbon flag, more than likely using their party flag.

I will keep pursuing the Falangist national flag (of the Spanish Empire) proposals, especially of Jose Antonio's own mouth and realistically, considering the martyrdom they would subscribe to that flag proposals to honor his memory.

@Zandrus I have no plans to change the flag of the Spanish Directory as that was the one used by the Spanish State whilst Emila Mola was "the Director" and his plans for a regime based upon the republic it's likely the initial nationalist flag with the same symbolism of the republic would remain. As for the Falangists flag if you can provide the sources for the proposed flags as from what I've see had him only present with the party flag.

Hello Xander Walrus, I am wondering if we might see changes for the Spanish directory/Spanish empire flags to be changed, and using the Falange Flag for the Empire, if not finding another that may be based on Jose Antonios proscription of a flag (supposedly it would include the gold field and 4 red band flag as a base and more likely the symbol of the falange in the center), while keeping the other Spanish flags just as they are.

I don't think the real life reichskommisariats used the TNO flags. Especially for ones like Norway and Netherlands

can you please make tno reichskomissariat flags?

I also wanna point out that indeed, F and Non-Aligned Korea are siblings of the Yi Dynasty, so F Korea flag should be the same as the Non aligned flag.

I would say this flag is better for a different MPR flag.

Your flag would only exist for 4 years, while this one is 5 years, and lasts through the intense wartime period.

But its taste I guess?

@Burleon That's more of an issue on pdx's part as there is an actual cosmetic tag for a monarchist Greece whilst democratic and fascist but it's only applied for the constitutional monarchy focuses, I could change the default tag to be the Kingdom aswell but that would me if it ends up fascist as a republic or if historically puppeted by the Axis it will not longer be the "Hellenic State" but the kingdom, sadly either way will have to compromise the other.

Just a little tip if you can fix it, when you play fascist Greece ( not the Byzantine path ) there is a event where you can keep Metaxas and the King or go National Socialist and abolish the monarchy, can you make it so if you go fascist metaxas you keep the monarchy flag? I'd make more sense

mongolia flag should be this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mongolian_flags#/media/File:Flag_of_the_Mongolian_People's_Republic_(1930%E2%80%931940).svg

I got it, thanks. I didn't know about those Greenland flag proposals.

@Zandrus The two coloured Greenland flags are based on generalizations of earliest proposed colour schemes for the flag, democratic and communist are just simple edits based on the older coat of arms.

@Zandrus I did this to create a consistency for West Germany having both Non-alligned and Fascist with the tricolor as I wanted to avoid for example a fascist East Germany and Non-Alliged West Germany sharing the same flags, the same goes for post civil war Germany if you go that route.
Although an Argument could be made as you said West Germany having this flag although if we talking Alt-history like the scenario I mentioned it doesn't necessarily mean that the formation of a fascist/national socialist East German state to have Remer form the party there instead of Hamelin,I think it's a good solution to the initial flag problem.

Hello, the DDR fascism flag is from the SRP party, the West German Neo Nazi party that was founded some years later after the war, by Remer.

the Fascist West Germany would make sense for having this flag!

Fascist East Germany might need another flag, considering the NDPD, it may be the Black-White-Red flag.

Why is the Greenland flag like that? I have never seen this flag used before historically.

no its a canolie

@MrBacon9669 Is a hot dog a sandwich?

does this mod lgbtq+ friendly

for this mod

does the german military dictatorship under erich raeder in gotterdamerung use the kriegsmairne flag or the regular german empire flag

@Torquemado Updated the democratic flag to the Ikurrina, I left non-alligned as there's no separate cosmetic tag for Navarre/Monarchist like with Catalonia > Aragon although I could change it for sake of accuracy.
However I could not find any info/flags for Fascist or Nationalist aligned Basque only the Franco era Navarrese flag although that could also be changed to the Ikurrina if wanted as it's not an egregious/inaccurate change.

Basque country has the Navarra flag. Correct flag is the Ikurriña. (Spain)

@donald.grape There are various other flag mods and even vanilla if you want cooler/anachronistic flags, the aim of this mod is to be as objective to history as possible regardless of any preferences.

Understanding the history does not make it less hideous. Maybe you could somehow separate the bird from the waves? I mean, come on, it doesn't have to be 100% historical.

@donald.grape I changed because from what I could find the Zambia flag was adopted from the UNIP which didn't exists earliest until 1959, and there where no flags adopted by the Northern Rhodesia Congress so the closest I could get to a non-anachronistic flag was making one based of the emblem of Northern Rhodesia similar to what KR does the only alternative I could do is just use the actual blue ensign flag they used but that would lack context if they where independent or subject of another nation than Britain.

Could you change the flag of Zambia? It's hideous. I would go with the default design.

The facist Netherlands flag should be as in the orginal game. Orange, white, light blue. (prinsenvlag) Before 1937 it was debated the dutch flag should be either red,white, blue or orange, white, blue. (democratic) But facist Netherlands is for certain orange, white, light blue.

@Dashan9301 This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile but put off assuming Paradox would add a scripted effect that set a cosmetic tag for Britain without Ulster and then adding the flag for that so there's still the communist flag for Britain with Ulster/Ireland for any potential alt-history scenario, but given that people having been asking for that feature for 6-7 years I doubt it will get it added so I'll just add the flag without the saltire to the mod to prioritize accuracy.
