Right so with Chicago the Grand Strategy is probably going to have to look like this

1-Expand, expand, build
2-Alliance with the NCR
3-United Chicago/NCR Alliance makes deal with China
4-Make Deals with other successors

This ends with us and the Victorians/Russians have giant fucking chainsaw aimed at each other weak spots. A real clusterfuck of a situation, but one that can be tipped to our advantage by helping other Revivalists and Successors in the Continental US.
 
How about a flag that doesn't look like the result of Chicago having a drunken one night stand with the Confederate Battle Flag?
 
So Chicago is now the best hope of American democracy. Well, at least my hometown will be liberated soon enough. It's just that as a Central Illinoisan I may never be able to live with the shame.

I gotta see this bad boy.

Hm. Maybe take the existing Chicago flag (blue stripes, white background, red stars), and palette-swap only the central stripe to red with white stars instead of white with red stars?
 
Well... this is a thing. I don't know if I should be happy about the flag looking like the stars and bars or angry that it does.

Because the confederates lost and were trying to save America.

Edit: But I do think it's a cool start.

Chicago's bloody banner. I knew it was inevitable. Beats the crap out of the alternatives but I would like a flag that doesn't scream "BOW YOU RURAL PROLES!"
Would you care to suggest alternatives?

I'm arguing for a somewhat narrower red stripe and white stripes on the outer edges, to make the clash between the sky-blue light stripes and the highly saturated red less striking.

I'm thinking... three stars lined up vertically on the left and right ends, with the two additional stars representing the American Collapse and Chicago's Rise. The blue of the stripes gets changed to the sort of blue one would find on the American flag. Why clear out the middle, though? To make room for the red and blue version of the snarling Chicago Bears Symbol.
 
The Betsy Ross Flag would be my choice but we can wait.

And, just so everyone knows, my salt is tongue in cheek. As a Central Illinoisan I have a love-hate relationship with the Windy City that comes out in teasing and comic exasperation. One one hand I genuinely love the sights and wonders of Chicago. But I'm not fond of its control over the whole of my state. But as the US has collapsed I need to stow that attitude.

I was with you until you implied the Chicago Bears were worth representing. Now the Cubs I could go with.

Yes, I'm a Cubs fan. Sue me.

Wisconsin went to the Nazis, then either Victoria or Victoria in all but name. It's the closest I could think of to flipping off Green Bay at every flagpole.
