| Message | Looks good to me. Better than just having a gray splotch as a flag, that's for sure. |

| Message | It seems to militaristic and leans too far into Communist ideology. Although the DPP fully supports freedom of political choice we should choose a flag which is more centerist. |

| Message | We feel the flag has dual use... The gold background represents our agrarian roots with wheat yet also represents gold, the symbol of wealth. The blue star represents our five regions while the color blue represents our coastal seas and the plentiful sky above us. It is also a symbol of progress, prosperity, and commerce. The red sickle re-inforces our agrarian roots however shows that we are not afraid to share or be equal. The color red is used to symbolize the bloodshed of fallen comrades. The black rifle shows our strength militaristically, shows that we are an industrial nation, and that we are not afraid to defend our lands. If these symbols are not centric, any other flag created would either lean to the left or the right. The SCCP has ensured both extremes are represented in this simple and attractive flag. |

| Message | We accept the symbolism within the proposed flag, though are weary of the black rifle. Perhaps a shield would better represent our willingness to defend our nation. |

| Message | We understand the United Centrists concern about a flag with a gun in it, that is why we put it behind the sickle so it wasn't too imposing. However, we do believe in the right to arms as well as a strong military, even if it means pre-emptive measures to defend our nation. Yes, we may have the capability to defend our borders, but let us not be foolish and get into an arms race. I believe the rifle represents this well and may provide intimidation against our enemies. |
