Flag of the Hokkaido Free State
Flag of the Hokkaido Free State by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

Concept flag for an independent Hokkaidō in DRAW Your Own Story. @GenMarshall's constant conniptions both in and out of universe over Mr. Toyoda being a "splitter" is viciously ironic, given Coruscant's running a foreign occupation even more meddlesome than the MacArthur dynasty. Interestingly, a couple years back I read an article discussing how much like the American West, Hokkaidō's history as a 'frontier territory' produces an independent spirit at odds with the Japanese stereotype of deferential, self-effacing conformism.

Created in anticipation of needing a distinct emblem between the prefectural flag and Toyoda's military, this was never uploaded to the Wiki as it hasn't been used in-comic, but is a candidate for the Free State mentioned in Alternate 2011.

Crafted through a cumbersome deconstruction of the prefectural flag; a dedicated emblem would only be released at the end of the year.
