Heavenly Kingdom Dynamic Names and Flags

Since the 1.7 update the Heavenly Kingdom seems to now have a decent chance of winning, so I decided to make this little mod to add a bit more flavour to the country, and specifically avoid situations such as having the "Heavenly Kingdom" be a republic with state atheism. This mod adds new dynamic names and flags for the Heavenly Kingdom.

-Flags:

• Theocracy: Meant to represent a banner used by the rebellion. Note: I've seen some conflicting evidence about whether this banner was actually used by the Taiping or whether it corresponds to a different rebellion. Unfortunately English language sources about the Taiping are scarce so I haven't been capable of finding anything better.
  
• Monarchy: A slight variation of the previous flag.
  
• Inclusive Monarchy: Another variation of the previous flag. In this case, the use of yellow is meant to be reminiscent of the flag uses by the Qing, with anti-Manchu sentiment having faded away.
  
• Republic (Base flag): Basically the flag found in the base game. It is based on a simple triangular red banner used by the Taiping.
  
• Inclusive Republic: A historical flag, although it wasn't used by the Taiping. The colours are meant to represent the different peoples of China, while the cross emphasizes a Christian nature.

-Dynamic Names:

• Theocracy: "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", the historical name.
  
• Religious Monarchy: "Taiping Heavenly Empire", meant to represent a slightly more secular government, with a return to the use of the title of emperor.
  
• Monarchy: "Sinite Empire", meant to represent a government where religion takes on a lesser role, "Sinite" is used as the denonym for "Sinim" (see next point).
  
• Other (Default name): "Sinim", meant to be a variant of the word "China" with (Abrahamic) religious connotations. It's a transliteration of a term used in the Old Testament that has sometimes been interpreted as referring to China. I think it's fitting that the Taiping could choose to replace the international name used for China with something like this to attempt to legitimise themselves as a Christian country in the eyes of the Europeans.

Should be compatible with any mod that doesn't change the flags or dynamic names of the Heavenly Kingdom.
