Hello everyone!
In the Traditione of the US Navy's Bluejacket's Manual, a Compilatione of the Flags of the Principal Maritime Micronations of the Metaverse has been Created!
http://navycaledon.googlepages.com/flags.html
All Micronations holding themselves significant, up-and-coming, bent upon Grid Domination, or even Small and Pesky (but spirited!) are invited to Participate. That means... thee as well!
Simply send a Fulle Mod Texture to Commodore Sin Trenton inworld with a Briefe Defcription of whose Flag it is, &c &c.
The usual PG and copyright consent conditions Applie; also, No Symbols that would be Unlawful to Difplaye in Europe, for Instance.
============
Maritime Flags
============
In Addition, Notice two Flags in many cases;
- A National Flag for State and civile Use;
- A 'Man O War' flag for military vessels, which is muchly like a Nautical Ensigne.
The 'Man O War' Flag grants 'consent to fire or be fired upon' based upon Micronational Treaty (or, in some cases, breakdown thereof)
Beware flying 'Man O War' flags casually; ye may find yourself fired upon by Complete Strangers, Boarded, Expected to take part in Fleet Actione or find thyselfe blockading an Enemy Porte either by air or sea.
========
Pirates
========
Of course, there is also a section for Pirates, both Commone and Notorious.
Beware these scoundrels, for while some masquerade as Gentlemen they may give No Quarter, steal your Booty and possibly Chatte Up thy ladyfriend while at it.
Dread pirates, indeed! If caught in local waters, anyone flying the Jolly Roger may Finde Themselves facing the gallows, or Davey Jones' locker. (Though, pubs for the moment seeme to be fairly neutral ground...)
==================
Pennants and Insignia
==================
We realise not Everyone will be carrying our usual arsenal of Steampunk Technology.
There are many varied levels of Technical Sophisticatione between Nations. For instance, an Electromagnetic Pulse Weapone isn't likely to do much against black powder and cannon. Yea, we might not even realise it was fired...
Thuse, a Pennant System to Identify and Declare one's weapons Systemes is Included in our naval manual.
Should any aspiring Arms Dealers wish to add a Pennant designating their Systeme, please also be in touch with Commodore Sin Trenton.
A section for other Commone insignia, such as that indicating Ducal Regiments &c is also available.
