I’d imagine the hemispheres would flip sides and the western would overlap the eastern.

New Zealand is the last bastion of the resistance in this timeline. The revolution will live and die in Auckland, but it will be free.

why would the US use a German eagle

u/RadamirLenin Jan 24 '26
Because the US is the 4th Reich

With a lot of help from China and Russia a minority of ass hats are certainly hoping that'll happen.

China and Russia have nothing to do with AmeriKKKa's homemade hitler particles

Using a Nazi Reichsadler is a little on the nose and doesn't make much sense for America, a bald eagle like the one Great Seal would be more appropriate.

Yeah, I was gonna say, why would the US use a reichsadler in this situation?

why is it that all the "dystopian" worlds where the "fascists" run humanity always go hard as fuck

Jan 24 '26
Genuinely, fascism relies a lot on appealing aesthetics to build and keep a base of supporters
Fascism is all about emotion, and impressive aesthetics have a greater emotional effect.

Might be better to use different globes but otherwise very fascist USA with the eagle

Suggestion would be to equate the number of stars to the number of continents.

Suggest seven stars, to represent the seven continents. Feels like something America would do.

u/Elegant_River_8023 Jan 23 '26
The three stars represent the past, present, and future.
The eagle represents strength and control over the world.
The stripes represent the expansion of American power.
I got these globes from the coat of arms of the International Monetary Fund, in case anyone was curious.

Am I correct in saying that the three Stars represent America, Afro-Eurasia and Oceania.

Change the blue to black. More fitting. Blue stands for Justice on the US flag.

Very accurate, the US would be the country to make their flag a picture of the president's balls sized up
