Description

Flag of the Restored States of America

Shortly after the Restored States Constitution was approved by the residents of New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Maine and the Connecticut Inlet, contact was made with inhabitants of the former Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. These towns and farming villages quickly applied for entrance into this new government and, after drafting new constitutions, were admitted as the states of Quebec and Ontario. However, no official flag had yet to be created by Congress, and most government offices flew the flag of the United States. Representatives from Ontario and Quebec were soon joined by ones from New Brunswick, and together they began to call for the creation of a new flag, one that would acknowledge not only American heritage, but Canadian as well. After a committee debated the issue for several weeks, the flag of the Restored States was submitted to approval by Congress.

The Red-White-Blue color scheme comes from the United States, yet is laid out in the same background pattern and color ratios as the former flag of Canada. Replacing the maple leaf is the torch of the Statue of Liberty, with the single star in its base representing those who had died in the Collapse and the country's capital of Manhattan. The ring of stars around the torch represent each state in the Union.

The flag design currently shown is from twenty years after the foundation of the Restored States, where the former territories of the People's Republic of New England were admitted along their former state boundaries and New Jersey, Michigan, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador had been admitted.

Concept flag for a story series of mine known collectively as Union. Done entirely with MSPaint. Torch design is from the State flag of Indiana.
