Prydania:
Unified Tribes of Lakotah

Seal


The symbol of the Unified Tribes of Lakotah consists of a sun with eight rays, representing the eight nations (not to be confused with tribes, of which there are many more of) of Lakotah. The sun sits atop branches of grain, surrounding the symbol of the pathway of the universe, an ancient Lakotan concept representing communal and spiritual harmony.
The continuity of the United Tribes government was briefly interrupted in 1854 when General Iyotake Hunkesni seized the office of Chief Facilitator following a coup. He dissolved the Unified Tribes government and replaced it with the centralized Grand Republic of Lakotah regime. This led to the open rebellion and secession of the ethnically Prydanian provinces of Dixie, giving birth to the CSSD. The war ended with Dixie's independence in 1857. Hunkensi's regime would collapse by 1862, leading to the re-establishment of the Unified Tribes of Lakotah. Hunkensi's regime didn't abandon the eight rayed sun seal, but incorporated it into a thunderbird, a creature from Lakotahn mythology.



Flag


The flag of the Unified Tribes consists of the sun emblem on a dark blue field. Technically speaking the blue flag is simply the Unified Tribes' civilian flag, while a dark red version is the nation's wartime flag. In practice the red flag is used exclusively by the Unified Military of Lakotah.



The flag of the Grand Republic of Lakotah (1854-1862) took the dark red military flag and coloured the bottom half black. The GRL flag is mostly used by fringe far-right nationalists in the present context.



Chief Facilitator Standard


The standard of the head of state, the Chief Facilitator, has the Seal of the Unified Tribes centred on a golden banner, trimmed in dark blue and dark red. This represents the Chief Facilitator's dual role as head of the civilian government, as well as commander-in-chief of the Unified Armed Forces.

Military Insignia


The eight pointed sun serves as the military marker for the Unified Tribes.

Prydania:
Allied States of Bustos

Coat of Arms


The coat of arms of the Allied States of Bustos is a rampant golden lion on a dark red shield. The shield is topped with a crown, symbolic of the Bustos family's royal lineage, which dates back the Dunedain Empire.
The family crest of Bustos dates from the family's time as a royal house, maintaining the crowned lion crest. The red colouring on the lion, as well as the blue and white striping, once represented the land under the domain of the Bustos monarchy. They now only represent the Bustos family proper.



Flag


The flag of the Allied States of Bustos could be considered a banner at arms of the national coat of arms. The golden crowned lion on red is present, but it's been streamlined in design. This was done as the Bustos family shifted their powerbase from the monarchy to their corporate empire. The family emblem was stylized as the corporate entity's brand expanded.

Prydania:
Republic of Megatridimensional Order

Coat of Arms and Flag


The emblem of the skull and crown originated during the Anarchy in Prydania that lasted from 1351-1369. The rebel forces, a coalition of rebellious peasants, merchants, and sympathetic nobles, adopted the skull as their symbol and purple and green as their colours. The rebels retained this symbolism after their banishment following their defeat. They would come to represent the state these banished rebels founded, the Republic of Megatridimensional Order.
The Syndicalist Party in Prydania would adopt the colour purple along with Syndicalist red to show solidarity with the spirit of these early rebels.

Prydania:
Tiberian Confederacy

Coat of Arms and Flags


The coat of arms of the Tiberian Confederacy combines the black eagle, long a Tiberian symbol of sovereignty and might, with the crossed faces and sword, the emblem of the National Salvation Front. The NSF, serving as the political arm of the Confederated Military, acts as the sole political organisation (they dislike the term "party") of the Tiberian state.
The national flag consists of this emblem in a golden triangle at the fly of a red banner. Red is a traditional Tiberian colour representing stately authority. The military flag places the coat of arms on a red field, bordered by gold. This general design is used as the flag of the Consul of the Confederation, only squared off in proportion rather than rectangular.
This similarity between military and Consul flag is due to the Consul serving as Supreme Commander of the Confederated Military, a role that takes precedence over office of Consul during a time of war.







Military Insignia


The Tiberian Confederacy uses a segmented and angled gold square on a red field to mark its military vehicles.

Prydania:
Divine People's Republic of St. Oz

Seal


The purple lotus and the central emblem represent the Ozian Gaean religion. The uncompleted taijitu represents the Ozian belief that balance in inherently unachievable.

Flag


The purple colour is considered sacred to Gaea. The cogwheel, compass, and hammer symbol is the emblem of the Ozian People's Party, the ruling party of the Divine People's Republic.
