    These things always seem to end up focusing on nationalistic border wars, or shilling for some product or personality. The one version that actually had some interesting stuff was the worldwide map one. It still had some of the nationalistic nonsense, but it seemed mostly contained to the nations themselves on the map, which left space elsewhere for people to do other shit.

    Well well well, wasn’t your Enterprise D also quite the offender last time? But don’t worry, we won’t plant our blanket on all available benches… this time.

      Yep, never were a friend of those flags. Put up pop icons or whatever, but please no stupid flags.

      I think it would be nicer if they could make up something to celebrate their culture - too often flags can take on a blunt political significance, and lead to side-taking divisive bullshit. “This country good, this country bad” sort of stuff. Focusing on cultural aspects - landmarks, food, etc. - could be a way to foster cultural exchange rather than nationalistic competition
