What sucks for me is that Amazonia sounds really cool and has a neat flag. I’m down if it weren’t so inane and reactionary to the good guys winning. If it could be Amazonia in name alone and we didn’t have to think much about it that’d rock.
It reminds me a Jasper Johns painting: Flag (Moratorium).
Here’s what a gallery selling a reproduction for 800 bucks has to say…
This work remains one of the most captivating and powerful images of the anti-Vietnam war movement. The image was commissioned to commemorate the anti-war Moratorium Marches that occurred in the fall of 1969 throughout the US.
This work symbolizes the horrors of the Vietnam war; from the Agent Orange-esque coloring of the stars, to the deathly green Army camouflage of the stripes, to the singular white bullet hole in the center.
I don’t know how accurate that is. I never learned the backstory.

I agree that the name is cool, but I think that flag is hideous
