Forum:Flag Decision

Although I shouldn't be worrying about this right now, I cannot seem to figure out which flag I want to use to symbolize a China that has an Emperor, yet is democratic and socialist. Here are the candidates:

1.



This flag is of my creation, and simply blends the old Qing Flag and the ROC's flag. I was going to colour the background blue, but there would be no contrast. I also invision this as the flag of the current reigning house, the House of Zhu.

2.



This flag I found on CivFanatics. If I decide to make this the flag of China, the White Sun obviously represents the Kuomintang and Democracy, blue represents, I dunno, the red represents the blood sacrificed for the creation of the new empire and socialism, while the yellow represents the monarchy.

3.



Another flag by me that is influenced by the Wuchang Uprising flag and the Kuomintang flag. It symbolizes the revolution, and the sun in the middle represents the republic, while the yellow and red represent monarchy and socialism, aswell as the blood spilled in the revolution. It's a rather ironic flag, as the original was used to dismantle the centuries old monarchy in China, but could become it's symbol.

It should also be noted that present-day China is a federation composed of China, Yunnan, Hainan, Taiwan, Manchuria, Inner Mongolia/Mengjiang, Tibet, and Xinjiang. Each republic in the federation has its own flag, and here is the flag for the Chinese People's Republic.

Another flag made by me, the star reprents socialism, the blue represents democracy, the flower represents the monarchy, and I don't know what the purple symbolizes, I just liked how it looked.
