Flag of the Arstotzkan Union

The Flag of the Arstotzkan Union has been a something that has changed so much over the past two years. With the first Flag being a recreation of the American Flag but in a theme similar to the title *Papers Please.* In it's history, the Arstotzkan Union has had four flags.

## History

The first flag of the Arstotzkan Union was adopted sometime after the creation of the Arstotzkan Union, however it is unknown as to when that date is due to the fact that the first Constitution of the Arstotzkan Union was destroyed at the start of the First Civil Conflict of the Arstotzkan Union on September 18 2019. This flag became the official flag of the Arstotzkan Union until December 3rd 2019 when the next flag was adopted. This became the official flag from December 3rd 2019 till October 3rd 2020. The next flag of the Arstotzkan Union came in on October 3rd 2020 and was created by Sergeant Major Jack Miller, however it was removed as the flag of the Arstotzkan Union due to the fact that it was discovered that Jack Miller had not created the flag, rather used one found off the internet and on December 10th 2020, the Peoples Banner, became the official flag of the Arstotzkan Union. The Peoples Banner is the first flag to have a name rather than "Flag of the Arstotzkan Union".

The first Flag of the Arstotzkan Union was created sometime in August 2019, following the establishment of the nation. It served as the flag until after the First Civil Conflict, when it was replaced by the next flag.
