So, after a lot of time of not submitting, I decided to submit again.

One day I decided to make a study on flags based on the Spanish Popular Front symbol.

The idea is that in this ATL the Republic wins the Civil War and becomes a kind of sui generis Socialist Republic leadered by the Popular Front. Thus, the three-pointed star of the Popular Front becomes a symbol of the Republic, which is displayed both in the Republic flag, and the flags of the various Socialist Communities. The Socialist Communities are based on the concepts of which were the regions of Spain in the 30s. Don't ask about the timeline much, it is only a excuse for making these flags.

Flag of the Spanish Federal Socialist Republic: it uses the colors of the Second Republic, but with a dominant red.

Flag of Galicia: it uses the colors of the Galician flag.

Flag of Asturias: it uses the colors of the Asturian flag, but readapting the cross into a band.

Flag of Euzkadi: The reason for calling it "Euzkadi" instead of "Euskadi" or "Euskal Herria" is the usage of the first word among basque nationalist circles in those years. The flag is based on the first flag made by the Arana brothers (the current Basque flag was originally only intended for the province of Bizkaia). Also, making an adaptation of the current Basque flag would be a nightmare for this kind of flag model.

Flag of the Leonese Community: It uses the white color of the old Kingdom of León.

Flag of Castile: Even though the traditional color of Castile is red, the pigment used for the flags from the years of the Revolt of the Comuneros aged into a purple. This is the reason why the Spanish Republican flag has purple, a confusion that wanted to represent Castile and the "first martyrs that fought against absolutism".

Flag of Aragon: It uses the four red bars of the Royal Sign of the Crown of Aragon, but with an addition of a black band in order to represent the Regional Defence Council of Aragon.

Flag of Catalonia: It uses the red bars of the Royal Sign of the Crown of Aragon.

Flag of Extremadura: The absence of previous historical flags has made me create a new flag, that represents the two rivers that cross Extremadura (Tagus in the north, Guadiana in the south).

Flag of the Valencian Community: It uses the four red bars of the Royal Sign of the Aragonese Crown, but using a blue band like the one of the city of Valencia.

Flag of the Balearic Islands: It also uses the bars of the Royal Sign of the Aragonese Crown, but in order to differentiate it to the other ones I had rippled them to represent their insular condition.

Flag of Lower Andalusia: It uses the Andalusian flag, designed by Blas Infante.

Flag of Upper Andalusia: It is the Andalusian flag with a red band representing the old Emirate of Granada.

Flag of the Murcian Community: It uses the white color of the cross of the flag of Cartagena, with 7 stars representing the 7 crowns of the flag of the historical Kingdom of Murcia.

Flag of the Canary Islands: Back then, the only Canarian flag was the "Ateneo flag ", a blue field with 7 stars representing the 7 islands of the archipelago.
