Flag of the Chinese Union by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

Flag of the Chinese Union in the IOT spin-off Multipolarity II.

The Federal Union of China is the descendent/full realization of the Co-operative Federation of Xinjiang from the original Multipolarity, and as such, is the ideological opposite of christos200's factions, representing popular democracy and international co-prosperity. It emerges during the epilogue to MP1 following Operation Shah Mat, in which the Otto régime is ousted for good. Following the GUNS War, it becomes something of a global moral authority and vanguard of numerous international projects, the most important being the International Space Programme and the Global Climatological Commission, which it tries to keep afloat during the intermittent catastrophes in the 820-year interval between the two games. Like its precursor, the Union has close, semi-official ties to the Scarlet Lancers, and the Red Lotus operates as "Director-General" of what basically amounts to a shadow government.

The design quite clearly borrows from the flag of the Republic of China, which other players often used to denote CF Xinjiang during the first game; not-so-coincidentally, christos used the PRC flag for all his factions. I decided to play along and adapt it for MP2, somehow creating this. My only real 'vision' going in was wanting to play up the blue theme. I like it; shame it was squandered on so underwhelming a session.
