I imagined it based on my Minecraft gameplay, a desert nation where the main element were horseshoe crabs in the ponds (mod) and a precious stone as an alternative to emeralds (mod). The yellow and blue indicate the desert and the sun and moon are the central visual elements in the desolation of the desert.

(p.s. the onion is part of a symbolism that I created with my friends as a central symbol, this being a region of this empire used to indicate belonging to it)

As I said in a comment, I made a draft and then got help from GTP chat. I don't rule out the possibility of manually editing it one day.

I think it’s beautiful but I think you could add some more details to the moon and the sun to make it perfect!

This is the first result. I'm open to suggestions. I thought of something simple, like the Argentine sun, but I can and would like to enrich it.

You have a great eye for balance. My suggestion is you just need to use more "flat style" graphics.

Modern flag "rules" (really guidelines) are that you use simple symbols a child could draw from memory. Nothing overly complicated.

A child couldn't draw that horse shoe crap. It's too much.

You see this icon of a horse shoe crab? It uses simple shapes and no gradients.

The same can be said for that onion up top. Fewer details and simpler shapes make a cleaner flag.

Overall though I like your concept.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice, but I actually made a draft and got help from GTP chat because the horseshoe crab was too complicated for me, but in my opinion, if done well, a detailed flag works as well as a simple one.
