My first flag post. This flag is being used for an alternate history I am working on involving a "Latin" Empire in the Mediterranean. This is the flag of that empire in 1500 A.D.
Sorry, if it's a bit big.

Looks like it's staring menacingly toward the bottom of the flag.

The Latin Empire is formed by a resurgent byzantine empire that readopts the latin language as the main language of the empire....hence the name. Admittedly I didn't know the origins of the Eagle. I am not a huge history buff or have an extensive education in the subject although I am trying to find out more as life goes along. I may have to edit the flag now knowing the origin of the Eagle. The other symbols on the right side are the symbols of the Empire's church which because of the empire's location includes influences from Judaism, Catholicism, Greek Orthodoxy, and Islam. Admittedly its not one of the more realistic alternate histories discussed in the alternate history thread and its quite implausible, but so far I am having fun with it.
This flag is actually designed in 1500 after the creation of the prince's lands from the royal territories. Originally the flag included a different version of the eagle, the flag of Alexandria, and the yellow line on the bottom wasn't there. In later versions I've made I have stolen the sun on the Philippines flag.
Note: I've been using a victoria 2 map for the world mainly because I plan to eventually transfer it to a more proportioned and informative map with rivers at the very least on it, but I really have no excuse for using it other than laziness I guess. I could post that in the alternate history map if people are interested or if anyone has interest in the other flags I'll post those here.
Side Note: This originally diverged from a round of Crusader Kings (insert cheesy advertisement) and I was playing a greek dynasty and after reuniting most of the byzantine empire, conquering the Levant, Egypt, Italy, and a large part of the balkans I started exploring the idea of what could happen...and the Latin Empire was born and since then......I've gone a bit overboard in the alternate history without a lot of explanation which I'm slowly working on.

Let's talk Michelle.
My flag for my Union of Syndicalist African Communal States in INES III. Pretty poor design I guess, but I figured I'd throw it up here. It utilizes the labor symbol, instead of the cliche Hammer and Sickle (it is a Syndicalist nation after all), and I used the Pan-African colours. Red however, was obviously extended to represent the political alignment of the nation.
Pretty easy to make, pretty low quality, but it gets the job done.

This is the Empire of Spain's kick-ass flag in Capto Iugulum.

Would someone mind enlarging the flag for Venice in EU3 for me? I need it for SKNES.

You do know that Castile is called like that because of the Castles that were being built to protect the territory from being attacked by the Moors, and that it did not happen until some time after the Reconquista happened, right? Not to mention, that Castile was a Christian nation, so it would be unlikely for the Arab-speaking Moors to name a kingdom of theirs after a Chrsitian nation...

I know, but it's like that in the NES
It's good to see that the Castilian Muslims speak and write in modern English. It is the best language in history, after all.
