why isn't there a good anglosphere flag

Here Here!

I may just have to make one, considering my sci-fi universe im making. Anglo Federation FTW

Ill post it here when I finally get around to doing it.

With the exception of Canada and Ireland, all the English-majority nations are represented in this one flag.

You forgot Poland Australia/New Zealand.

Also MartinLuther's third flag is passable for an Anglosphere Flag (barely) but I'm sure somebody here could do better. The one with Ireland's flag in the top right is absolutely terrible though. At least USA/UK/AUS/NZ have similar colours, adding Ireland's flag with completely different colours is going into Pensacola territory.

Challenge accepted.

It's an MS Paint bodge job so the stars aren't quite accurately placed but a quick run down of the various components:
Union Flag for exactly what it stands for
Thirteen stars for the original thirteen colonies of the US (fifty would be way too busy)
Central star is a Commonwealth Star for Australia
Remainder are for New Zealand
Vertical red stripes outside of the St. George's cross are for Canada (I had considered making the top star a maple leaf but it wouldn't have looked as good and the America's Hat joke is somewhat overdone)

Pretty dang good, Filli.

The bottom right to top left red line doesn't match up.

Yeah, that'll make for a nice flag once a couple of discrepencies are fixed up.

Thank you, my prior experience with flag making is more or less non-existant

The bottom right to top left red line doesn't match up.

That's how the Union Flag works.

So it's a hidden swastika.

No, the inner edge of the red stripes touches the centre, there would be no legs.

On an interesting sidenote I did manage to find two swastikas hidden in the Stars and Stripes.

1802 and 1805 flags

EDIT: Just realized Brazil has the same diamond shape that Napoleonic Italy did. It therefore most likely came from Brazil, in hindsight.

Dammit man, that's a lozenge!
Anyway, here's some Kaiserreiching

You forgot Australia/New Zealand.

The union jack is in their upper left cantons of those two nations. Not forgotten.

But the Union Jack doesn't represent Oz and the Kiwis. It represents Britain and Australia/New Zealand's ties to Britain (not the nations themselves).

Just add a kangaroo with a kiwi in its pouch.

Only if we represent America and Canada with an Eagle mating with a Moose.

 

[Double A]

You mean an eagle wearing a moose for a hat.
