Personally, I prefer this variant.

I'm gonna toss my vote in for this one.

Those flag options raise the question of what sort of government United Forenia has. Personally I'd prefer a flag that doesn't too strongly push us in one direction or another- if only because if we, for example, choose an obviously communist flag and then ally with the axis... well, it'd be awkward.

Just because the design might mirror what one nation uses does not mean we share that ideology.

[Powder Miner]

Flags aren't meaningless designs, Zanzetkuken, and some flag designs are very clearly ideological.

Yeah the last two of Kot's three are very communist which would wierd if we allied with the axis. But the first one looks very nice and neutralish.

The first one is based on a nazi flag.
:/

Gonna be honest, I really don't like the idea of allying with the axis, so a blatantly nazi-based flag doesn't appeal to me... and probably wouldn't be particularly welcome on either bay12 or SB moderation either, for that matter.

I'm probably not going to be an active participant, but I think we should stay as far away from the Nazis as we can, when it's possible (and it certainly is possible, right now).

On an in-character note: why would Forenia create such a blatantly Nazi-inspired flag, anyway? It'd be kinda weird—imagine a country was founded today and its flag was a palette-swapped version of the Stars and Stripes.

Actually it's more it just takes elements from the moskurg flag. Which does, coincidently, lend itself to styling like the german flag around that time.

[evictedSaint]

Moskurg and Arstotzka always struck me as very dictator-y countries.  If we are on the allies side, we'd probably be analogous to Russia in regime.

That being said, someone has to be the "bad guys" - I don't see it any different than playing as the Germans in Call of Duty or Battlefield multiplayer.

Besides, going with the axis means we have access to some nice stuff

There's a timeline being assembled, and suffice to say, we've pissed off the Americans quite often and helped the Central Powers and Axis a few times.

[stabbymcstabstab]

and besides haven't we already supported the Axis fairly majorly. I mean christ isn't Germany using one of our Assault Rifles as their main rifle?


Edit: ninj'd

[Powder Miner]

Well, having binged the entire thread these last couple days I can assure you that it isn't as one dimensional in the Nazis' favor as some would have you think. But also, you know, I just really don't want to side with the Nazis.

[Taricus]

And why's that? You want to be with the OTL's winners?

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Here's the timeline being worked on.

Not fully done, and Asea triggered a glitch that caused some data to be lost (now got a backup made, but someone may want to look over the current), but a good chunk of this Arms Race's information is in there.  Only dealing with when things first showed up rather than tracking every single design and revision to keep things simple.
