The Official Flag of the United Lands of Wakaskató (ULW)
The symbolic national flag for the United Lands of Wakaskató, a nation predominantly Indigenous, with subtle acknowledgment of European heritage.
Orientation:
Vertical, hanging rectangle, mimicking a totem pole, emphasizing height and ceremonial presence.
Background colors:
Bold sapphire-blue, amber, tantalum, and jade, forming strong, contrasting vertical sections that evoke resilience, steadfastness, and natural wealth.
The palette is rich and saturated, creating an immediate sense of strength and permanence.
Central emblem:
A large circular sun motif or sacred disk, representing unity, energy, and cultural harmony.
The sun is divided into six segments, reflecting the sacred directions and cultural plurality.
Each segment is adorned with intricate Indigenous patterns inspired by beadwork, feathers, and tribal glyphs, etched boldly to read clearly from a distance.
European accents:
Four small gold or amber stars, positioned symmetrically near the central emblem, representing law, governance, and historical contributions, without overwhelming the Indigenous symbolism.
Additional details: Thin metallic or white lines radiate outward from the emblem toward the flag edges, symbolizing energy, unity, and the dissemination of knowledge across the lands.
The design is striking, legible from afar, and ceremonial, with bold contrasts and clean lines, suitable for government buildings, plazas, and national monuments.
It functions as a global entity that hires out meta-mutants for specialized tasks, including radiation cleansing, telepathic truth extraction, and other superpowered services.
