PAIR ONE
A European Empire against Canada!
The Habsburg Hegemony
The Habsburg dynasty grows to control all of Europe and by the 20th century most of the world.
=========================================
Canada
The British annex Alaska after the Crimean War. By the 20th century former British Caribbean holdings are brought into the growing Canadian state.
PAIR TWO
A modern era Roman Republic against a post-apocalyptic city-state!
Fourth Roman Republic
Rome gets knocked down but never out. The Fourth Roman Republic has a lunar colony and controls a large portion of the world. Only the Chinese can dare challenge them.
=========================================
Thycena
Also an independent city-state that survives on the equivalent of South America in a post-apocalyptic world.
PAIR THREE
Communist France against a central Asian kingdom!
The TRD
A short-lived communist state that encompassed France, Spain, and Italy.
=========================================
Polish Kingdom of Western Afghanistan
Poland gained early independence from the Russian Empire and colonized central Asia. Now the colony is independent and preparing for a possible assault by a westernizing China.
PAIR FOUR
Freedom vs Anti-Freedom!
Federation of Free America
A politically stronger South causes a group of Northern states to secede from the Union in 1860. They fight a war in an attempt to maintain their independence. Will the succeed?
=========================================
Sino-Soviet Alliance
Russia and China don't split and eventually become one powerful bloc that may allow communism to eventually dominate the world.
1 Canada! The flag visually represents what it should, I like the back story and there is always the question of how Hockey would look merged with soccer.
ReplyDelete2 Fourth Roman Republic, for the Latin on the flag and the back story.
3 Polish Kingdom of Western Afghanistan, The back story seems richer (and longer) and TRD had a weak first round match up.
4 Federation of Free America, because it looks cooler and took more imagination.
Thanks again for your interest. Unfortunately I had to cancel this Top Flag Championship. At the time my readership wasn't high enough to get enough comments. Hopefully next year will be different. Out of those four you chose which is your favorite?
