This registry will include a record of your nation's flags and the meaning of them.

If you want yours spoilered and recorded in this OP then post your registry below followed by a plea for records keeping.

This is also the place to share your historical flags.

I will try and create a timeline type record if you wish.

Please spoiler large images!

The 3-3, overal 6 tribes in the middle crossing each other represent the 6 tribes that were united under Ahet-Apep I. and eventually formed Apepistan.
The 40 rays of the Sun represent the 40 tribes that joined later to the United Kingdoms.
The dragon-serpent in the middle is the national symbol of the United Kingdoms of Apepistan, which is guarding and holding together all the tribes. The flag is altered after a certain number of tribes have joined the United Kingdoms, because all of them need to be represented on the flag.
