## TV Tropes Nations

**Prompt:** You might remember a few months ago, [u/SolarAce](https://www.reddit.com/user/Solar_Ace) made an excellent post where they took several examples of Nations Defined by their Government from TV tropes and [made flags](https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/giofxo/flags_based_on_common_tropes/) for them. Inspired by that idea, we're asking you to do the same for the August Flag Design Contest

### Notes

* Top 20 in this contest are listed below and annual top 20 are listed below. A full table of yearly standings is listed on /r/vexillology/w/contests, and the voting page is no longer in contest mode, so you can see how many points each flag got.
* Each person could submit 2 flags.
