Normally black flags with a swordВ or crossed cannons. Not every potential rebel is an emergent faction, some are simplyВ called 'rebels.' Meaning unlike the other emergent factions diplomatic relationsВ cannot be established so they are always seen as hostile. Also there is no ensign or pennant for Native American factions as unfortunatelyВ they can't build navies. Note that this section includes Native American factions as they are not playable in the main campaignВ although they are playable in the War-Path campaign in the game. Most are withВ some exceptionsВ the minor factionsВ at the start of theВ game sited mostly in Europe, that the player can war with, build relationships and alliances with and even persuade to become protectorates. Non-Playable factions are the fully independent factions at the start of the game which cannot be played as. The pennant has the 'Don't Tread on me' snake the same as the US pendants (and thus starting the tradition) but with a different colour scheme and the Union Flag is naturally in the hoist. The war flag is based on the type of flags carried by colonial militias on America, and the most well known of which is the Gadsden flag, although historically a revolutionary flag I used it here as theВ colonial war flag. The actual flag used in the game is the British red ensign, which in the game is also the ensign used by Great Britain at sea meaning the 13 colonies are in a strange predicament where the have no flag at sea! The state flag is very much the ensign used in that role, and is based on the continental colours (but with red, white and blue stripes). Although 13 separate colonies in the game they are one faction. The British colonies in America which historically gave birth the USA is of course a protectorate of Great Britain. The war flag fallows the style used by other European armies and is based on flags carried by Saxon regiments towards the end on the 18th century. However for the game the historic green and white flag is used, I changed this by adding the coat of arms used in Saxony at the time, The Polish coat of arms which also includes the arms of Saxony.

Saxony is a protectorate of Poland-Lithuania, the flag of Saxony was historically that of Poland-Lithuania. Most of the starting protectorates end up being peacefully annexed by their parent faction on completion of a goal in the game. It is also possible for the parent faction to go to war with its protectorate. Protectorates often go to war when their parent faction does.

Protectorates don't have full sovereignty and give half of their national income at the end of each turn to their parent faction. The ensign is based on the US Coast Guard ensign.ДЄt the start of the game some of the major factions have protectorates. The war flag is similar to a republic flag but red (I think its a more monarchist colour) and has a crown. The state flag features the other early US flag by Francis Hopkins. If the upper classes become too unhappy in the game they will rebel, if successful they will turn the United States into a monarchy.

The pennant features a snake and the text 'Don't Tread on Me' based on the first US navy jack, but also a little tradition I made up and fallowing on from the Thirteen Colonies pennant. The ensign is the Serapis flag which was an early US Navy ensign of Cpt John Paul Johns, and arguably one of the first internationally recognised US flags (although ironically enough not by congress!) I used this rather than the continental colours as the thirteen colonies flag is based on that. The war flag is based on US regimental flags in the late 18th/early 19th century. Like the game I used the Betsy Ross flag as the state flag. Before that it is an unplayable emergent faction from the Thirteen Colonies which I will get to later. The USA is only available as a playable quest after you complete the 'road to independence' campaign.
