Description
IRONMAN COMPATIBLE - will work with every version of the game
_____

Intended as the most comprehensive and complete flag pack on Steam Workshop - prioritizing historical accuracy with vanilla feel over meme flags.
Made by historical accuracy WW2/flag fanatic who isn't able to play vanilla hoi4 because of its many inaccuracies.

1492 flags including:
- all vanilla countries,
- formable nations,
- newly added countries from all new patches and DLCs,
- some completely new flags that were not included in vanilla hoi4 (like the Franco-British Union).
Feel free to post your opinions and suggestions in the comments down below.

Flag sources:
- en.wikipedia.org/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_national_flags
- reddit.com/r/vexillology/
- in some cases I made the flag myself from the scratch

Special thanks to:
- Project FLAGS author for some obvious inspiration on some more exotic flags - link to the mod:

- Adiya's Historical Flag Pack author for the idea and for making the first flag mod for hoi4 that I ever used - link to the mod:

FAQ:
- Why X flag looks like Y when it should look like Z?
-- I've made/selected/chosen all of the flags in the mod by myself. Post your observation in the comments - if it's my mistake I'll correct it.

- Why did you upload the mod when there are already so many flag mods for HoI4 on Steam Workshop?
-- None of the mods I've seen were as comprehensive as this one. So far only the Project FLAGS seems to be on par with this mod - as both replace all vanilla flags.

- Why does this X african/formable nation has a flag like this?
-- Most of the african and formable nations didn't exist by the time of WW2 so obviously I had to use later flags from '60s or '70s.

- Why doesn't flag X change between democratic/neutral/fascist version?
-- Because historically it never changed even when government has changed. For ex. Romania, Japan, Italy etc. were using the same flags even after the change of government.

- Is there some sort of censored version without totalitarian symbols?
-- There was, but I stopped updating it... :(

- I like Project FLAGS mod (or any other similar mod) more than your mod.
-- Good for you. This mod is only intended to give you an alternative.

- Some communist flags are really strange...
-- Give me the idea for replacement then. I am open to suggestions.

- Why Austrian fascist flag is literally German fascist flag?
-- Because the Austrian fascist party is the DNSAP (an Austrian faction of NSDAP). Fatherland Front is not fascist in the game - it's non-aligned. Austrian flag under FF is already included in the mod. It's intended to be like this and flags in this mod are historically accurate. I don't care if they're "boring".

Thank you so much. Our Chinese people used to think that rising sun is the official flag, because it was really common in every where during the war. And also representative of that history. But I am not sure if it should be in the political occasion. However, it still beautiful. If I can see that in game on Japs army. It will be better~:steamhappy: (like this mod)

Because it was not a flag of Japan - only it's navy/military.

This was one of the first mods I downloaded when I got HOI4 and it helps me feel more immersed :steamthumbsup:

Love the mod. Any chance we could get a more "German Confederation" style flag for a democratic HRE? I was pleasantly surprised that democratic Germany can make it now, and I thought it might fit better.

Just wanted to say thank you for all your Immersion Pack - Ironman only mods. They add back that realism I wanted.

After testing them out and using them, I can not go back to the vanilla way of things. Mods like this make it more immersive to play the game and makes the war impactful, the way it was back then. That intensity should be felt in HOI4, to get the total affect.

Thanks again.

I removed white borders from the Stasserist flag and changed the shade of red to be darker (the one from the original German Reich flag). Hopefully it will make it more immersive.

@CSRZ This is pulled from the BF manifesto.

"The Black Front... fights therefore with relentless severity against the fronts of The System, regardless of whether it is the black-white-red flag of Conservative Reaction or the black-red-gold flag of Liberal Reaction which flutters above them... end on the day the system is overthrown, and then the

struggle between Black and Red

will determine the future shape of Germany."

They are describing the flag colors of the conservative monarchists (Black,white,red) and the liberal social democrats (Black,red,gold). They then go on to say that it is the black front with the colors of red and black that will defeat both. So based on that, the background of the flag should be black and the sword and hammer having a simplified design and being the color red. From what I can tell, the addition of white borders and the more detailed hammer and sword are additions made by modern Strasserists/National Bolsheviks.

@Dillos
What was the color of the sword and a hammer? White or red or something else?
