In short, nations which never had chance of possessing a proper vexilllogy or heraldry, Coats of Arms attributed/proposed to some characters (like, how would a Western-style Coat of Arms of a Japanese Emperor looks like?), etc…

More here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attributed_arms we call it "heraldyka fantazyjna" (fantastical/fantastic/fantasy? heraldry)

Presenting some of my favourites, Babylonia, Etruria, Romania/Roman Empire (two variants, one used OTL by reconstructionist group, but I like their Flag) and (Old)/Baltic Prussia (used by modern-day reconstructionists of this language on the terrain of Kaliningrad Oblast and around).

Also, if someone HAVE saved most of those unsourced/uncertain origin Flags deleted from Wikicommons in good resolution/svg (like those of "Turkic Empires", previous set of Mughal Empire and others) PLEASE post it here, I can't find a way to find them now.

Wikipedia used to have many good flags which are now deleted, whereas shit like combining random flag with homo flag stays, I can't comprehend this.

>Turkic Empires

I'm not sure if those are the flags you're talking about, but:

Palmyrene Empire, Constantinople (alleged), Anglo-Saxon (allegend) and variant used by modern day nationalists, Kingdom of Cyprus (Crusader state, derived from arms)

>>54

Yes, those. They're poorly documented/sourced, but most of them used to have .svg version in Wiki, like Khazaria.

Also as you an see, from supernatural beings only Devil Satan and Seraphim Michael have any attributed arms, when I'll be good at vector graphic I plan to do some CoAs of other Angels/Devils based either on their attributes, or sigils (would be easy to create Seraphim Metatron's one, just put Metatron's Cube on something)

Hm. Try browsing the category "Special of fictional flags", though I don't see those specific flags there.
