So I decided to introduce this (albeit somewhat incomplete) bill into the Underhusen for debate, figured it wouldn't be too contentious to discuss something like this and we might want to start with something a bit 'smaller' before we jump into the rest of the session.

This act mainly sets forth some Symbols and also officials defines a flag and a code, I do plan for this act to cover other things as well (other symbols and seals of the region), but we don't have many of those right now.

I feel like if we’re going to do this we should go all out and specify the ratio of the flag as well.

We don't necessarily need to specify the ratio of the flag, especially of we want to allow the design to be used in other flag types and also to fit better on other flags for territories.

Well then let's at least specify the colors in HEX. Here, I've done it and even given the colors cool names:

This is more of a Blazon than anything else, so the colours don't need to be exact, in my opinion. It just specifies the design of the flag and the rendition is up to the artist.

You're letting the colors be "up to the artist" and yet you're not allowing people to fly it without the permission of the Monarch? I think we should be patriotic in going about this.

also, section 4 should read "fly the Wintreath flag"

I move to extend debate

I second this motion.

So where are we going with this at the moment? It seems stagnant.

With interest in this seemingly low, the bill far from complete, and the time since original posting now at 17 days with no meaningful conclusions reached, I move to table this bill.

@Chanku I would also consider asking someone like Gerrick to put out a public discussion thread regarding the choosing and defining of regional animals, precise colors, etc., with the intent to make a poll for the whole region to participate in. In fact, @Gerrick if you see this... 

@Syraj
@Crushita
@Laurentus

I'd highly appreciate if I could have a second on this motion. Thx ^^

@Chanku, I don't suppose you have anything else to add?

I second Katie's motion to table.

@Laurentus would you mind seconding my motion? I don't want this bill to die on the floor.
