@bingandthebong It's based on Ephrem Côté's proposal for 1939 and is probably the closest to an independent flag that isn't just reusing the ensign or an anachronistic modern flag.

great mod only gripe is why does the independent canadian flag look so weird? shouldn't it just be the standard maple leaf?
XanderWalrus  [author] 17 May @ 4:18pm 
@nicnicbasket Must be a base R56 issue or your Hoi4 installation, this is as stated in description is only TGA/GFX files which should not effect game code at most would show a missing image.

what is going on with the independent canadian flag
XanderWalrus  [author] 27 Apr @ 11:02am 
@Yared I forgot to comment shortly after sorry, I updated the flags so they should hopefully appear if not might be an issue with the name tag of the flag which I'll have to check the R56 mod for.
Yared 25 Apr @ 11:39am 
@XanderWalrus there's no flag
XanderWalrus  [author] 25 Apr @ 1:50am 
@Yared Is no flag showing at all or is it an incorrect flag?
Yared 23 Apr @ 1:57pm 
why darfur doesn't have flag? :steamsad:

@Кацураги Will change SAM flag to the proper kingdom flag

UAE and FER will change these are wrong cause I ported them from the vanilla versions of the mod and must've forgotten the GUK existed and Trucial states being democratic

BAS same as previous two ported from vanilla mod and I know at somepoint like my mods in R56 it was West Indies Federation but guessing they change it to Barbuda after adding the Carribean formable.

BUK yeah think that ones more subjective cause of how weird the actual Bukhara flag was being a weird verticle rectangle.

If any more you find or think worthwhile feel free to post always open to adjustments.

SAM_democratic, communism, and neutrality - Reverting the Democratic and Neutrality one to the one used in R56 is historically accurate, as it was used both by the Kingdom of Samoa (And on its coat of arms) and by the Mau Movement, a liberation organization.
Communist flag doesn't make sense since it uses the Southern Cross, and Communist States are usually athiest states, so...

UAE_democratic - The country's name is the Trucial States in game, so using the Trucial States Council flag would be more appropriate

There were a lot more flags that i think are innacurate but i feel as they are more nitpicks than actual innacuracies (I may also have bias since my friend made a lot of flags for R56 (Mostly Central Asian and USSR flags) xdd).

@XanderWalrus
BAS - BAS's tag is represented as the country of Antigua and Barbuda in R56. Changing the flags to represent Antigua and Barbuda would be more appropriate than showing the West Indies Federation flag.

BUK_neutrality - (Might be opinion based) the flag made in R56 suits the country more, even if its a minor change.

FER - Using the Green Ukraine flag is VERY strange considering Green Ukraine is a releaseable tag in R56. also the version of the flag used is incorrect. Look for GUK in the flag files for the accurate depiction of the flag.

KYR_neutrality - The flag has a nationalistic history and the text especially makes it all the more fitting more to a Fascist flag. your probably better off using the R56 one or the Turkestan flag (Even tho that itself is also sort of innacurate).

@Кацураги Also if you find any more potential fixes please let me know.
XanderWalrus  [author] 16 Apr @ 7:54am 
@Кацураги Changing the Mariana Islands flag thanks for additional info I try to prioritize earlier flags but if context changes it like you added for the 5 territories I'll change it.

Updated Micronesia flag to the Federates States (4 stars) for democracy and communism can do for ideologies, thinking that the South Seas flag is fitting for fascist/neutrality with that alligning more with Japanese influence for that period but can also see and argument for the actual flag.

I try to make a good balance between, accuracy and context so sometimes mistakes slip through especially with releaseable nations I'll always change flags if I find the reasons for it objective like the two you suggested.
Кацураги 16 Apr @ 7:36am 
@XanderWalrus That doesn't really justify it's inclusion. the flag is supposed to represent the 5 territories of the Trust Pacific (Palau, Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Guam, and the Mariana Islands). Again, i would suggest adding back the old flag(s).

About Micronesia, you should revert it back to it's modern day flag. I've altered Micronesia in R56 so that it only cores it's modern day borders, which is also what it's modern day flag represnets (The 4 Stars representing the 4 districts).

These are only a few of the issues i found in the mod. If you want I can point out more innacuracies that you can be able to fix, as labeling it "Historically Accurate Flags" and misrepresenting a lot of nations isn't really historical if you get what i mean xdd
XanderWalrus  [author] 16 Apr @ 6:40am 
@Кацураги GUM tag uses the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands flag as it was the earliest used by those islands also used for the tag in vanilla there is the flag of the Northern Mariana Islands
but that was used after the aformentioned flag and FSM I'll change the democratic and communist flags to the Federated States of Micronesia flag as the South Seas mandate was the majority of the same territory.
Кацураги 16 Apr @ 1:20am 
A lot of the flags you replaced should be returned to their previous versions.
For example: Mariana Federation having the US-Micronesia flag makes 0 sense, and so does Micronesia itself having the South Seas Mandate flag make 0 sense as well..
XanderWalrus  [author] 14 Apr @ 10:20am 
@Switching Doom It has R56 as a dependency so shouldn't matter but to be sure I'd have it after/below.
Switching Doom 14 Apr @ 9:51am 
do i place this mod over r56 or under?
XanderWalrus  [author] 16 Mar @ 12:09am 
@Yared Ah I just meant I took a look at the base flags for R56 and changed the ones in my mod based on that and updated it, I definitely could've worded my original comment better.
Yared 15 Mar @ 7:37pm 
@XanderWalrus sorry for the dumbass i'll sound, but what do u refer with taking a look to the base rt56 and how i do it?:steamsad:
XanderWalrus  [author] 14 Mar @ 11:37am 
@Yared First one should be fixed after taking a look at base R56, for the Syria flag that's something I can't do as I just change the already present GFX and cosmetics, you'd have to ask the R56 devs to add a set_cosmetic_tag for that after the end of the civil war.
Yared 14 Mar @ 11:01am 
why haganah and the army of the holy war have the israeli and palestinian flag? also, fascist syria flag should only be at the civil war, after that the flag must be the road to 56 flag.
XanderWalrus  [author] 17 Dec, 2024 @ 6:15am 
@FILYA The flag remained the same when porting from my vanilla flags and country names mod as there was no historical context for the restoration of "Gallia Belgica" and as there aren't really and flags from the time or fictional ones I could find, for the R56 flags I kept the same Burgundy flag.
FILYA 16 Dec, 2024 @ 5:28am 
When transitioning from Burgundy to Belgica, the flag did not change.
Linus Theft Tips 8 Dec, 2024 @ 10:50am 
It's peak, only complaint is that it replaces all the RK flags with the regular german one. While accurate, makes looking through/managing my puppets a waking nightmare.
Cleveland 5 Dec, 2024 @ 2:11pm 
Thank you for the great mod.
XanderWalrus  [author] 15 Nov, 2024 @ 4:23am 
@helist It will work with 1.15 all the flags will be fine except the new ones which will be vanilla I'm currently work on updating them so by end of today hopefully should be done.
patih 14 Nov, 2024 @ 9:27pm 
compatible with 1.15?
Ruthlessant 5 Oct, 2024 @ 12:00pm 
UPDATE PLEase

Why Napoleonist France has default flag?
XanderWalrus  [author] 15 Jun, 2024 @ 4:11am 
@Revolver Somewhat bug Democratic and Neutrality intended but Fascism uses it as there's no real existing alternative I could find apart from the BUF flag that was used by Fascist Pan-European movements post war as for Communism a similar thing I've tried making some but couldn't get any that didn't look too generic or unrealistic will try working on it.
Revolver 17 May, 2024 @ 11:23pm 
Bug: EUR every ideology has the same flag.
Magic Man 4 May, 2024 @ 1:24pm 
can you make one for ottoman empire
TSっ娘を愛している 30 Mar, 2024 @ 10:02pm 
update please
That One Idiot Who Always Dies 26 Mar, 2024 @ 4:02pm 
Can you update this pwease?
e4w6 11 Mar, 2024 @ 8:29am 
could u please update? because rt56 had an update
Eason_nosaE 22 Dec, 2023 @ 4:10pm 
Thanks for the mod. Simplified Chinese shouldn't appear in the Chinese warlords' flags. Plus, using this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapok_Flag for democratic and fascist Guangxi Clique may make more sense.
AceAshly 17 Dec, 2023 @ 12:49am 
update plz
Riamkau 10 Dec, 2023 @ 10:22pm 
nice
Nender 29 Oct, 2023 @ 3:21pm 
Shouldn't the fascist Iraq flag be the Ba'athist one?
XanderWalrus  [author] 15 Oct, 2023 @ 1:06pm 
@Kingdom of Yugoslavia nvm stupid error on my behalf I can specify the flags for each king, but the same idea still there of the tricolors usage over the kings standard.
XanderWalrus  [author] 15 Oct, 2023 @ 1:04pm 
@Kingdom of Yugoslavia I can't specify to keep a specific flag for each king only Napoleon and the others, plus the existence of the compromise tricolor was in later use than the standard of the kings and the Action Française used the tricolor and variants of it in their imagery in the 20's and 30's.
Kingdom of Yugoslavia 15 Oct, 2023 @ 12:00pm 
honestly it'd make more sense if you kept the bourbon flag for when france goes legitimist
George F. Breathless 6 Sep, 2023 @ 7:42am 
There's a problem with the small version of the Portuguese flag.
theanswerisme 2 Aug, 2023 @ 12:35pm 
@tall cate , stupid idea, with peace and love, you have to understand Browder's CPUSA, he presented Communism as the natural next step for America, not a brand new thing.
tall cate 13 Jul, 2023 @ 8:09am 
could you make it so the communist america flag is unique and communist? but like better colors?
XanderWalrus  [author] 10 Apr, 2023 @ 1:57pm 
@Gamanade Error with the descriptor file new update should fix the issue
kliest_ 10 Apr, 2023 @ 12:28pm 
The mod does not work.
