        OP. It’s time to have a clear plastic flag with white for the Romulan empire made and placed at the edge of your property.

    The only problem with the Klingon flag is that when you first glance it from a distance, well…

      True story. Flew our Klingon flag… neighbors thought it was a nazi flag. Had to explain…“no, no, we are not Nazis (I’m actually Jewish). We are just really big geeks.” Yeah…that was the last time we flew that one.

        It looks nothing like a swastika. Is it just because of the colors?

          the colours and layout. If I didn’t know it was a Klingon flag I would guess the middle symbol is fascist from context. It’s clearly based on the nazi flag

            It’s an inverted Japanese flag with the Klingon logo in the middle.

          It’s the colours.

          When I was five, my mum tied red, white and blue ribbons in my hair for the royal wedding. Obviously my hair ribbons didn’t resemble the Union Jack. But everyone knew what they represented, nonetheless.

        I was just thinking that. If I didn’t know what it was beforehand driving past it, I’d assume it was a Nazi swastika. Wonderful of that neighbor though. tlhIngan maH! taHjaj!

      If it ever fell. They’re the sneakiest of the main species, I wouldn’t put it past them to have a foundation caste. Ie. One empire on this side of the galaxy one on the other side with a underlying society to sorta regulate interactions.
