New Project I Have

[PolluxDeltaSeven]

Hi everybody!!

Some of you may know the very usefull site "Cocardes du monde entier", aka "Roundels of the World".

While I was reading NARSES topic in "Alternate History" about Italy division, I made some rechearch on Wikipedia and found that Sardinia has its own flag.

Here is my idea: why not building a web site similar to "Roundels of the World", but only with alternate flags and roundels??

I already plane to do some roundels, and I even realised some:
-Independant Louisiana (New France)
-Republic of Acadia
etc (see right here for the other possibilities of this Alternate world!!)
-Independant French Algeria (nicknamed "République Pied-Noir", or "Black-foot Republic, as "Pied-Noir was the name of French colons in Algeria)
-Sardinia; Sicilly, North Italy and South Italy, after the division of the country in the 2030's...
-République de Wallonie (or Royaume de Walonie, I don't know were the King of Belgium will stay after the division of the counrty: in Wallonie, or in the Flanders)
-Independant New-Caledonia...


I figure there are plenty of other possibilities!! What do you think of the idea??
Do you think about other countries??
It could be a good data base in order to put all or astonishing and completely mad ideas!!!

Well I've got roundles for the Communist Ceylonese state, and for both the free & islamic factions from my Indonesia civil war thing.

I posted some samples of things I've got going in the 3rd World GB thread, plus a couple more on my site here.  There's a few more that I'm keeping to myself for the moment...  I need to figure out their backstory

Don't forget San Amerigo and its nemesis, Venecombia (of which I still have to write the story)    

Hey, got an idea for the name, why not "roundels of the alt-world ?"  

[Spey_Phantom]

i designed a few fictional roundels to.

-new ontario
-Leutonia
-Flemish Air Command
-Wallonie
-Guernsey island

im currently working on another country and a new roundel  B)  

[PolluxDeltaSeven]

Thanks you all!!

For the moment, I can see two categories of alt-roundels emerging:
-Could have been or could be countries (I mean old countries that disapeared in the past or countries that will maybe be if some independentist groups manage to create them)
-Fictional countries (countries we create in order to just have more fun than in our limitade poor world!   )

I seriously think about doing something with those alternate roundels. It could be a good data base, not only for roundels and flags, but also for helping our imagination.

Pollux, this one already exist, some members here know the name of this website and its adress...

[PolluxDeltaSeven]

Yes, now you tell me, I remember it.
The site enlist all the countries that did existed but then disapeared, or the countries that near-exist.

What I have in mind is less ambitious, just having a map where we could find flags, roundels and brief history of our alternate countries, including the countries that could exist in the future.  

[Archibald]

Yep, a map sounds cool. Maybe you'll need various maps, I fear some of our states would be located on the same corner of the planet...    
But map(s) would be ultracool !    

[Mossie]

I did some for Sealand, a real if very much disputed 'principality', although it doesn't have a roundel or any armed forces (unless you count a couple of likely lads with sawn-off shotguns!) at present.

[Howard of Effingham]

good idea.  ^_^

there's the national markings on that scottish AF TSR2...  
the DPRofM = democratic people's republic of merseyside [not done yet i hear]
and how could anyone forget the world's only triple landlocked country?  B)
