Could we have the Iroquois league flag available for our profile?
It is sorely missing!

there are hundreds of flags to chose, and people STILL want a flag that's not in the list

When will people finally stop complaining?

Markos, it's great, keep it this way, and make the "Create a poll" system exactly the way it is on my board. It's really much better! Try it!

oops, did I just complain

As soon as everyone gets to choose their own flag!

The Iroquois league is still very much alive today, with their own government, within the borders of Canada and the USA.

Oh I didn't know thought they are more or less assimilated into the US. Hmm interesting: is their government officially acknowledged by the US and Canada? Are there existing any treaties?

MarkG, I'm sure you can work miracles.
But I'll see if I can find an easier source.

Yes, it is officially acknowledged and has always been so.
The US and Canada have only limited jurisdiction over the Iroquois, even if crimes are involved (if they occur on Iroquois territory).

Edit: this one looks very cool

of course, Markos is going to make just one animated flag for one person next we'll have the pals and israelis screaming foul and then everyone from Tonga and afghanistan will demand animated flags. Imagine what that would do to the server

Thats BS. The Iroquois are part of AMERICA. They are AMERICANS, not AMERINDS, What do you think they are SEPRATIST REBELS!

If you get a Iroquois Flag, I want the SPQR roman flag mentioned earlier or a Nazi Flag. :bleh: They are JUST as DESERVING if a DEAD nation gets a flag.


yes, let's have flags for "countries" that aren't really countries.

FAQ (because I know you'll ask these questions)
Quote:
Neither does the UN Or does it?
It is a conglomerate of nations.
Thus, flags such as NATO should also be acceptable.

Quote:
What about Palestine?
Doesn't deserve a flag... Yet... Perhaps when it manages to coexist with israel or take it over.

-
It tis' disgusting to have flags for nonexistant nations unless you have EQUALITY among flags. And that really is a lot of work to expect from moderators.

Equality among flags-

Give us an Anarchist Flag, the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Ancient Rome, etc.

But they have JURISDICTION.

The fact that they get to "govern themselves LIMITEDLY" doesn't mean that they are a separate nation.

If anyone can step in LEGALLY by that other nations full constitution, then how does that make them a nation.

(Note: This statement includes Afghanistan [currently] and Cuba [after the Span-American war] where the US could and can step in and do what they want... but mroe notably The Phillipines [after span-amer war]

They weren't independent nations. They were protectorates... much like colonies.

At BEST the Iroquois league is being treated like a Colony.

(Personally however, i think they should have No govt. but that is irrelevant to this discussion)

Anyway, if the Iroquois get their flag, I demand the red flag. I assume at least KX and Tass would also use it.

Give us the red flag!

Why is everyone adding fuel to the fire? It seems from Markos post that he wasn't going to add it unless she gave him a flag to use and stated why it was necessary. The first is sort of done, while the second has not been demonstrated and never will be.

Close this fight over nothing.

How about a pine tree flag Mark?

Or maybe the "Don't tread on me" snake flag, both would be cool.

Quote:

They don't need to be separatists (like the Quebecois) or rebels, because they already are separate. That said, there are a great many lawsuits going on about property rights and the like. That is where the fighting takes place nowadays.

In some ways the position of the League is comparable to that of the Palestines, but the difference is that the League has always been autonomous (since 1451) whereas the Palestines only recently gained that title.

There are many occasions that other nations can and do legally step into USA affairs, too, you know.

I agree with Chris, if you let the Iroquois flag and other non-nation flags, you should allow 'other' flags in, which would then defeat the idea of using the flags for someone's true nationality or location.

However, if you start allowing 'friviolous' flags such as the Iroquois league, then by all means, other 'frivolous flags' should be allowed.

I said written INTO their constitution allowing a specific country to step into them. I thought I made that clear.

And, for the fact that they can vote in USA elections and, (i am assuming Canadian) makes them CITIZENS of the USA.

Quote:

The league ceased to be autonomous when the evil americans conquered them and subjugated them then assimilated them.

Quote:

I was speaking about all groups because many have 'self governing tribal govts' I wished to be all-inclusive in my post.

-
Thus, my argument still stands pristine. The Iroquois is NOT a SOVERIGN NATION. And, I think the added information about how they can VOTE in the USA proves that they are citizens of at least that nation, and I assume that in canada, they can vote for canadian officials- thus making them members of Canada.

Er, no, sorry, nothing in the League's constitution says anything like that.

Quote:

By the same reasoning, they are citizens of the League, since they get to vote in their own elections as well.
Or, since I get to vote in the European elections, and that makes me a citizen of Europe, you want the flags of all the member states of the EU removed?

Quote:

If that had happened, sure, but the League was never conquered or subjugated.
Further, the Americans were assimilated more into the Iroquois ways than the other way around, so let's just dump the flag of the USA instead.
