Flags

[The Right Excellent Mayor 5]

All of us, I think, have deeper ideas for our regions and cities than the casual player, and thus we have things like "counties", or even countries. In my case it is a country, complete with a history, a capitol, a monarch, a parliament, etc. Here is the flag.

Symbolism/Explanation:

The Cross of course represents Christianity, while the Cresent is the symbol of Islam. While Berlin is a Catholic kingdom, the Cresent is meant to represent the marriage alliance between Berlin and Saui Arabia, in which King Brandon married an Arabian princess, who even, with her father's reluctant blessing converted to Christianity. Furthermore in the Third World War in which Berlin, Saudi Arabia, and other Islamic forces were united, despite religious differences, for common cause against the New World Order, so this symbolises that union. Brandon, however, with Louis XX, was made King of Jerusalem, the traditional kingdom that existed before the crusades, but in order to maintain peace the Muslims are allowed to practise their religion, and indeed live rather peacefully together, conducting their buisiness and maintaining friendships, though only the heirs of Berlin and France have right to rule the kingdom. The fleur de lis is of course a symbol of the Blessed Trinity, and the dragon a symbol of strengh, ferocity, and bravery rather than the evil symbolism sometimes attributed to it. The fierce unicorn symbolises the Arab marriage union because of the horse, as well as bravery, and purity, for the unicorn it is to be remembered is a symbol of purity and can be only caught by a virgin.

I plan to do a city journal on this, too, but in the meantime here is this and give your own flags and any brief explenation.

EDIT: Yes, I am using the Berlin map from the original game. Thus the name.
