Transparency in a flag is new to me. It's surprisingly effective here. Could this be done with just cloth without synthetics by using thinner threads or thread count?

The website mentions silk organza at https://1worldflag.com/flag/ . That's where my mind went initially, some kind of sheer silk fabric. I don't know how durable it would be in the elements though.

That would be the first flag that isn't vegan, which.. doesn't look very cool

So this is effectively the Esperanto of flags?

Esperanto actually already has a flag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_symbols#/media/File%...

He asked about the Esperanto of flags, not about the flags of Esperanto.

I like this. And furthermore, it is my opinion that all current nation states should be dismantled.

>all current nation states should be dismantled. Fun fact. Just people who live in a shitty country want that, maybe instead of change everyone else, change you own country?

I am from so called 1st world, how do you define “shitty country”, are there better ones?

And replaced with what?

That can be figured out after the dismantling process :)

My personal utopian take: smaller communities/city-states that would naturally coalesce into more fluid confederations. A lot of these communities could also be distributed and non-local.

German here, I want the same. We are one species inhabiting a single habitable world in a giant dead void. Nationalism is an idiotic game of no value that causes destruction of resources we need, senseless killing in wars over nothing, and ultimately merely a distraction from everything that’s really important.

I've lived in several different countries. There are nice people everywhere. The country governments are shitty everywhere.
