See the flag!

[Jonas]

I didn't find a flag of Automatica in the archives, so I made one myself.
Like most of you will see, it's based on the Audentior flag. The reason is was the first Apollo nation and Automatica was a former province of it (atleast, that's what I think it was).

[Gaius Vesennas]

I like it. Hatsikidee

[Andreas the Wise]

I like all the new Antyan flags. How many did you make, Jonas?

[Jonas]

I made this one, Gaius the one of Vervollkommnung and the others are the historical flags.
The flag of Schlangen is made by Gryphon, but was never decreed. On the wiki I also placed the historical flag of Schlangen (this one was a newer version).
And the flag of Blackrock comes from their old website. Looking trough archives and old sites has advantages.

I am torn between pleasure that the Audente flag is still in use, and rage that you are conflating Automatica and Audentior.

Automatica is currently being remembered elsewhere, Scott...

I'm not conflating Automatica and Audentior! I made this flag because I nowhere found a flag of Automatica. So I made one, based on the first Apollo nation.

That's like, some day in the future, someone wants a flag representing the United States, so they take the flag of Soviet Russia because they know it was from around the same time period.

Anyway, you know how the Center for Disease Control keeps a vial of smallpox around, not because they're not grateful that smallpox has been vanquished, but just because, if in the future they ever need smallpox for something, even just to look at it and remember how awful it was, it would be a shame to have the information that smallpox represents vanish from the world forever? Well, on the same principles, I have a cache of Automatic material. I don't have the flag itself, but I do have some old buttons based on the flag.

The old Automatic flag was the European Union flag with red stars instead of yellow. As with the following button, behind the word "land":

Hmm... I think Bill has some old Automatic stuff too... all that MagiGAPR propaganda crap. Ask him about it, Jonas.

[Jonas]

I need to talk with Bill... or at least he needs to send me some of his stuff. I'm searching after a picture of a MagiGAPR if there exists one.

I know how the Automatican flag looked like, but I don't like it (and our Antyan flag is already a sort of EU-flag). And to avoid confusion I made this one:


If count Vesennas approves it, he can decree it.
