To review from my previous post,

  • 7 Stripes for 7 Articles instead of 13 for 13 colonies.

  • 27 Stars for 27 Amendments instead of 50 for 50 states.

  • Colors borrowed from Plains Nations cardinal direction colors as a way to include land recognition in the design.

I originally tried using The Statue of Liberty’s Torch as a visual divider between both sides, but some folks opined that it was a bit too hard to discern, so instead I leaned a bit more into the land recognition aspect and borrowed a Northeastern Nations bit of iconography, the broken arrow being a symbol of peace, and a two arrow exchange representing war.

Decided to pull a Venice and include a peacetime and wartime variant of the flag just to be quirky:P.

    I liked the Liberty torch/arm as a visual divider better, though I am intrigued by the idea of including a Native American element.
