The flower shape in the corner symbolises Altharia's national flower, called the goldstar. Originally, the flag was all black, with a large goldstar in the centre. This flag was in use for more than 600 years. When Altharia became a republic, a red stripe was added to the flag and the flower was decreased in size and moved to the upper left corner.

Arjastan


The Arjan flag is a relatively simple one compared to those of most other NSC nations, but the colours are symbolic: black stands for the tough past, red for the heartache of the present and white for the hope of a better future.

Giggshood flag is quite easy to understand. The G stands for Giggs and H stands for Hood. The first and still running president is named Giggs so thats where the name origins from. The 3 stars symbols the 3 big mountains in Giggshood that runs like a stripe across the country just like on the flag.

Gozitania

The flag is a symbol for all this microstate. The light red in the left and right of the flag represents the courage of all the Gozitanians The globe in the background represents that Gozitania must work hand in hand with all the people in the world. The cross is an important part of Gozitania's history as it also symbolises the Gozitanian unique identity. The G letter is the inital of Gozitania. The blue waves in the top-left and the bottom-right of the flag represent Gozitania as a centre for technology. For more details check out the official announcement of new flag.

Besides, the sun consists of 8 triangles representing the 8 ancient tribes, all being equal since they are sitting at a round table. The 4-pointed green star symbolizes the importance of the sea to Luniana, where a lot of seals live which are very important for the tourism in the wonderful and beautiful country of Luniana! Although the ancient tribes fought several wars amongst them, the Lunians are really peaceful nowadays and are animal loving.
