Released Mods / Re: [TFTD] [Expansion] TWoTS+ Release (v.2.19)

Greetings,
Awesome work so far on this great mod. Was hoping I could contribute somewhat in a certain field.
Something I always thought was missing from TFTD was lore surrounding the new political state on Earth.
Was messing around with some ideas for flags for the new council member nations.
Judging from their sphere of influence and marked territories, I made some assumptions surrounding the nations' backgrounds and made designs accordingly:
(My talents lies mainly around GFX and 2D graphics, so my lorecrafting might not be the best. Which is why limited myself to just four nations for the moment)
USA
Considering the fact that the Euro Syndicate only holds territory around the Mediterranean and British Coast and USA now holds dominion across almost all of the Atlantic and North Sea; I imagined that due to events involving EU and Russia, the US took the opportunity to take drastic and radical measures and pull what's left of the EU into its control. Now USA consists of North America minus three states (New Mexico, Texas and Alaska), plus one state (Canada) as well as Western Europe.
New Mexico Cooperative
Mexico now seems to have increased its influence northward and now encompasses what seems to be real life New Mexico and Texas as well. I imagine that Texas and New Mexico broke off from the US and with Mexico came to an arrangement that resulted in a triple union.
(Realised in hindsight that I missed the fact that they have influence across all of the southern coast of North America and the Caribbean)
People's Republic of Alaska
Self explanatory, a communist Alaska. Breaking off from the US due to perhaps similar reasons as Texas and New Mexico.
Brazilian Union
Brazil has been busy. Through military-, peaceful means or a combination; They have managed to bring all of South America in their sphere of influence. So the flag consists of an additional colour to represent more nations as well as the symbol for the current Union of South American Nations (I doubt Brazil could simply rule as an empire and so the "Union" part of the name points more towards a Federative system).
These are just examples and they are far from final. So far, this mod has done an excellent job at fleshing out the world of TFTD and I really hope to see the council members get the same treatment.
