Description
I felt flaggy.A semy-plausible take on the reasoning behind the flag of Code Geass' Holy Britannian empire. Primary difference in this are the different Irish flag (as opposed to St. Patrick's Flag, a 17th century invention) incorporating St. George's Cross, the Celtic Cross and the shield of arms and of course the addition of the North American colonies with a flag alluding to the richness of the land in green and gold. Also, there is an explicit reference to France's mediaeval flag of Azure, a Cross Argent (used during the Hundred Years' War and remembered in the flag of Quebec).
Code Geass is not mine.

Now it all makes sense! 
... didn't you loose Scotland along the way?

Celts have no place in the New World Order Bwahahaha. Yes they did. They didn't want to be reminded of Scotland after the burghers of Edinburgh (lol) drove Elizabeth III out of Edinburgh, Scotland, Britain and Europe. Just consider it flipped around by 45°.

Oh... you mean, flipped around by 45° and hidden under the other cross

Yes. What did you think I mean?

you cannot hide something behind another... what if it's not there? what if behind the main cross is the cross of Switzerland? Who's to say it isn't?

Switzerland does because they use a tricolore ITTL.

I would never put text on a flag.

LOL... but you would delusively hide a cross behind another... you fiend!

I see your enthusiasm is not flagging *runs away yelling "don't hurt me I know it was a baaaad pun"*

I should punish you for that Extremely Lame Pun. I really should.
How do you like it?

It is a logical progression and accounts for the darker blue as opposed to the lighter blue originally seen in the old Scottish flag that did not pass to the Union Flag. How's that?

Thanks
Well, the Union Flag wouldn't really have worked with yet another light colour, would it?
