Description
Yet another flag from the Weekly Flag Challenge on AH.com, and another one that won me a challenge! The next two I put up will be ones I submitted and did NOT win with.

This challenge was:

"FLAG CHALLENGE #148: Round Flag on a Square Pole

Come up with a flag for any sort of entity that is non-standard shaped (i.e. not a rectangle)
This can be a country, subdivision, or even a political party, it just has to not be rectangular

Submissions Open: Now
Submissions Close: 25th July 2016
Voting Period: 26-2 August 2016

And my added description was:

Officially the Republic and Nation of Japan (日本の共和国及びの状態), the Japanese Republic was formed from the occupied islands of the Japanese Empire. After the failure of the Manhattan Project, the United States and the Allied Powers would begin a bloody and brutal campaign to invade and pacify Japan, finally succeeding in 1948. Under constant watch, the culture of the Home Islands was transformed, and the Allied Powers made sure that Imperialism was stomped out forever from the Japanese psyche. For a time, the blue-red ensign, officially the flag of the Allied Occupied Territory of Japan, became the official flag of the Republic. As greater autonomy to the American puppet state was ceded, eventually the Hinomaru, a symbol of the Japanese people, was added to the flag, representing the transition of Japan from its bloody past to a bright new future, the sun rising ever higher. The Japanese Republic is ruled by the President and the Republic Diet, with the Supreme Commander of the Home Islands (formerly the Supreme Commander of the Allied Occupation of Japan) having veto ability and the power to declare martial law. Typically a 'non-biased third party' (read: foreigner), in recent times the SCHI (often referred to colloquially as the Shogun by many Japanese) has since been chosen from the upper ranks of the Japanese Volunteer Defense Force, whose joint operations with the American military ensure that only those with no nationalistic or dictatorial aspirations are ever granted the rank.
