Flag of Austenasia
Flag of Austenasia

Our official national flag is the Austenasian Star, and it is the flag used to represent the country and its people. The current flag was designed by Emperor Jonathan I while still Crown Prince on November 8 2008.

It is, officially:

A “yellow background with five red lines on it… [going] from the centre of the flag, one to the centre of the top side of the flag, one to the centre of the left side of the flag, one to the centre of the right side of the flag, one to the bottom-left corner and one to the bottom-right corner”.

The official version of the Empire of Austenasia is depicted with bright yellow and bright red thin lines, any any other depictions are not official.

The design is loosely based on a combination of the St. George’s Cross and the coat of arms of the House of Austen.

Send him victorious,

Austenasia!

Our lovèd Monarch bless
with peace and happiness
for evermore;
and let the Empire be
united, loyal, free;
this home of you and me,
Austenasia!

This, our great glorious land,
lives by the Monarch’s hand,
all hail his Throne!
Long will the Empire reign,
glory and wealth to gain,
sing that great name again;
Austenasia!
