I’m sorry folks, it happened. They’re officially changing the flag. Get your Kyrgyz flags before the change so you can have a cool antique in the future.

First poll
Alrighty, since y'all wanted me to post the poll even though they'll have to be in three different posts, here ya go.
If you don't entirely know what I mean, let me show you an example.
Spain has the Coat of Arms in the national flag, while the civil flag (that used in civilian vessels at sea and supposed to represent the people of a nation) is the same flag, just without the Coat of Arms.
On the other hand, the national flag of Costa Rica does not have a Coat of Arms, but the civil version does.

Andorra's flag is the only national flag in the world with two cows. 🇦🇩
The central element in the flag is Andorra's coat of arms. It has been in use since the Middle Ages and was made official in 1969.
The coat of arms is divided in four quarters, each one with one of the symbols corresponding to one of the four traditional houses of the country: the co-prince Bishop of Urgell, the co-prince Count of Foix (nowadays President of France), the flag of Catalonia, and the Viscounts of Bearn. This last one is the one with the two cows.🐄🐄
The Viscounty of Bearn disappeared centuries ago, but its coat of arms survives in Andorra's.

Kyrgyzstan Flag News
Well, it looks like I made my account at the perfect time, as I have some interesting news coming out of central Asia from TODAY
The Kyrgyz Republic's parliament has met and passed a bill that they're going to begin the process of possibly changing their NATIONAL flag, from what I understand. This is massive, even if Kyrgyzstan is a small nation with a small population, a nation changing the main symbol that represents themselves on the world stage is huge, and more than likely will take years for all organizations all over the world to replace the old with the new should the alteration go through.
Above is their current flag, which everyone probably knows as "X-box Land" from memes and internet culture.
Thankfully, the 'X-box' logo is staying, and the the proposed plan will simply straighten the rays coming from the sun so that it appears more like a sun, rather than a sunflower as many people see it as.
The far left is the current flag. The middle is the new proposition that is most likely the top contender if a change is made. The third flag is a proposed variant with darker colors.
The main concern by certain politicians within Kyrgyzstan is that the cost of this small change will not be worth the billions of dollars to change over the official national flag. Replacing hundreds of thousands of flags on government buildings, military vehicles and equipment, press to spread the word of the change is going to cost a ton of money, money that Kyrgyzstan might not be able to spare.

Even though it was months ago I completely forgot to post the design of Amphibia’s new flag under Anne’s rule. So here it is, several months late
