Description Here goes one that I had a lot of fun with, the flag has a lot of influences from the Sultanate of the Maldives but also from the flag of the Mughal empire! (I originally planned it to be green but I felt that was a more Muslim related color)
I also wanted to add text to show how badass it could look but Malayalam is one hell of a script.

Description:
At a land at the southern tip of the Akashic subcontinent, a populous country has carved itself out by the passing of the centuries, formed of many former trading civilizations it has prevailed.
The name of the language comes from Hassanian Barr, meaning (dry) coast, and Baralamese Alam, which means place.
It currently is under Naldenish control and it's the most valuable jewel of its crown because of the amount of spices and workers come from here; but Vanchibhumi is tired of being the lack of representation, and the GUPPAN lures every time closer to the government, inciting a coup d'etat against Vicarian forces.

Winning Vanchibhumi could mean a restructuring of Tianxia as a whole and even the launching of influence in places further away like Nemouria and Austronafusia, and anywhere that has Vanjian diaspora.

The flag bears a thurible with burning flames on top, this represents the nation’s humble beginnings but the artifact also contains Islamic crescents and a star, as is customary in Muslim-majority countries, though Syahbandar is composed by many ethno-religious groups.

The swallowtail design, usually related to Volnians in Vicaria, is here l associated with the type of leadership.

Princely states and vassal kingdoms get this sort of flag. The orange color is both a representation of the Vanji and the Naldenish, and the black and white horizontal band on the right is the Zamorin’s personal banner.


(Based on the Kingdom of Travancore, the Zamorin of Calicut, the Malabar coast)
