Flag of the Alpine Confederation by Wyyt on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

The Alpine Confederation was an artificially formed state after the conclusion of the Second World War. Under Red Army occupation, the Austrian and North Italian Military Districts were transformed into one state under the direction of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, signed by Joseph Stalin himself, in 1949. Created initially as a powerful border state not only on the Mediterranean, but with Allied South Italy, this new nation immediately found itself affluent in problems. These included a linguistic divide, difference of culture, previous Axis governments, and a refugee crisis spawned from a housing shortage.

The red on either side represents socialism, the Red Army, and the blood of the workers. The emblem in the middle holds obvious symbolism.
