Re: [GZG] John L's UN Flag

["John K. Lerchey" <lerchey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi TomB,

I had in mind that the smaller white dots do indeed represent early star 
nations, but I did not specifically ID them individually.  The central, 
larger dot represents Sol.

The other dots represent, in no particular order or placement, just as the 
individual 13 stars of the first flag of the United States of America 
represented the first 13 colonies *with no star specifically representing 
any specific colony (at least to my knowledge)*:

NSL
NAC
ESU
FSE
OU

That's the best I can tell you. To be perfectly honest, I was striving to 
make a flag that was clearly representative of the current UN flag, but 
updated for the Tufflyverse. That's what I cam up with. :)

John
