Sounds interesting. Reminds me of the Holy Roman Empire. Or was it the Habsburgs?

Figures. Although if the War still played out like OTL, it'd still end up British/Australian.

I like it! Although I agree with Antrodemus' comment; it is very Habsburg. If it wasn't supposed to be, I would maybe just change the backing to white/red.
My this is going to be a close contest O.o

It does scream "Habsburg" doesn't it!
The Hanse and its member cities are also prominently associated with red and white flags, which might be a problem unless you've gone all alt-history on us.
