The Indonesians, I believe, use a red pentagon on a white field.
My suspension of disbelief has a hard time with a PAU unless unity is
imposed from the outside, but the local shops that cater to people
wanting
"Africana" tend to use red, gold and green (or red, black and green),
usually in three horizontal bars.
The Islamic Federation will almost certainly have a crescent: yellow
or
white on green, red on white, or white on black. Use whichever colors
you
like. The crescent may or may not have a small star. If you feel
confident, add a scimitar. If you feel insanely overconfident, add
Arabic
script.
I imagine New Israel would stick with the Israeli flag.
ESU has been discussed, I think.
