Gethic flag by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

The Gethic Hand was Ailedhoo's country in several IOT games, based on his faction in NationStates. It was first referenced as early as IOT9, but is best remembered for its appearance in KaiserIOT and its sequel. While its exact origins vary by installment, the common thread is its founder Vinsin Vancore, a mercenary radicalized by one Lloyd Gethic, who in quintessential totalitarian fashion preached that the only way to ensure global peace was by ruthlessly suppressing all dissenting opinion. The Hand was arguably Ailed's most nakedly villainous faction in any game—Mandatum at least had some semblance of a conscience, and even the mass-murdering Iccans tried to counterfeit a moral imperative.

Uploaded to the now-defunct IOT Wiki in 2018, replacing Ailed's original raster and normalizing the flag's dimensions. The symbol isn't a double X, but Vancore's monogram mirrored on the Y-axis; it was loosely based on the not!swastika seen in General Midwinter's logo in Billion Dollar Brain.
