Vapora

Flag of Vapora Vexillogical notes for Vapora

Vapora Republic

Associated Language: Victorian
Other Names:

By law, national symbols of Vapora are never to be explicitly lowered to individuals. The nation of Vapora is frequently the source of strife regarding diplomatic decorum, and most frequently runs into conflict with decorum related to Glacie governments' expectations of guest nations.

Common compromises regarding conflicting placement orders of national symbols include replacing the Vapora flag with the flag of the Alliance, ceding the premier position to that of the flag of the Alliance and placing the host and Vapora as subordinate equals, or simply an arrangement of equal prominence over the site of display.

The intended national colors of Vapora are that of the pine sapling and silver, but light gray and white are used as substitutes. Use of light green is inappropriate and potentially unlawful, as the bright green crystal is internationally associated with neutrality and aid.

A famous exemption for this was made in one instance which a red saltire was added to an Aurora flag in order to produce an internationally recognized display for requesting mercy. Such situations are presently avoided by initiatives providing ample alternative emergency signals throughout Aurora.
