Symbolism:
The blue used for this flag is literally 50% the shade of blue from the official flag of The United States combined with 50% the shade of the flag of NATO, symbolizing the fact the USA was the Pro Right-Wing Liberalism Superpower of the Cold War, the flag of the Soviet Union was red because a red flag is associated with communism and socialism, this flag is blue because the USA as we know it is associated with a right-wing ideology, blue is usually the color of conservatism, but it can be used for liberalism too, this way the blue on this flag symbolizes both conservatism and liberalism, the torch and the scale symbolize the quote "Liberty & Justice for All" in this case the torch is the symbol of liberty and liberalism, also symbolizing the Statue of Liberty, while the scale is the symbol of Justice, hold by Lady Justice, the first variant of the flag uses a symbol that can be more associated with The United States itself rather than liberal democracy and capitalism as a whole, using 13 stars for the first 13 States of America, a variant that looks more similar to the flag of The Soviet Union, while the second variant uses a symbol to still represent the first 13 States, but it could be a symbol of liberal democracy in general considering The United States has guaranteed its independence from Great Britain, while the dollar sign is definitely the symbol of capitalism, American capitalism.
The flags keep the same flag dimensions as the official flag of the historical country USSR.
