I'm not sure, but maybe Soviet Symbolism could be a good thing. Β Most people in the former USSR have quite positive feelings about (most said the fall of it was a bad thing, the same in many Eastern Bloc nations) and the use of Soviet symbolism could work well, and play into feelings of nostalgia.Β

As for the flag...I don't know. It looks eye catching and majestic enough. If you're concerned regarding some lingering communistic stigma, I don't think you have to. The U.S.S.R. had a gristly past but that doesn't mean its iconography wasn't crafted with the best intentions. Personally I would be heart sick if Russia discarded it's patented sickle and hammer. They just look so cool. What does America have? Red, white and blue...with some stars...it's a really lazy flag.

If we're talking about lazy flags, just look at ours: the Japanese flag is the one of if not -the- easiest flag to draw

Yeah, but at least it has a snappy title, 'The Rising Sun'. We're just 'the stars and stripes'. I think we can both assert our flags, most in fact, are outrageously lazy in construction. Truth be told, the only flag that I think has any business representing a country is the sickle and hammer. It's just so bad ass.

Wow. And I thought my political descriptions were comprehensive...and I don't mean that in a negative way. I don't understand every political component of this description. What's an EU-like bloc economy system? What's the CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization? What's the Azerbaijani civil war? What's the Russian Genshtab? I'm from America, man. I have a whole sub-continent posturing to be a cohesive country to memorize, so I hope you'll honestly forgive me if I'm not privied to the Russian macrocosm's political minutia. I get that this is futuristic literature, but I don't know some of the modern day components showcased in your rhetoric.
I do think it's an apt policy to retain militant autonomy separate of an international committee. In addition, to dispel any stigmas of seizure, pertaining to Georgia, it may be prudent to emphasize the independent sovereignty of the various members of the USE. Lest the confab of free states be construed as more of a protectorate rather than a confederacy.
If I'm coming off like a simpleton when it comes to Russians, middle eastern and Asian politics, I apologize.

Blah, I threw those words in more or less to make the description sound complicated and interesting

Neither was George Orwell or Phillip K. Dick or Ridley Scott. It doesn't take a political academic to be versed in politics. If it did we'd all be fucked come voting day.

Well I do agree it may have a bit to much "Soviet touch" over it to be a Post-Soviet State Capitalist/Neo-Mercantilist Economic/Defence Union, tough it's a heck of a lot better than the current CIS and EVRASEC.
But could you say what the symbols represent, if they are not based on Communism? The Bay Laurel is from the Belarus flag of course, but the red, the blue and the stars?
+ In this scenario what becomes of the Nordic Countries?

The stars are straight out of the existing concept for the Union State flag. The blue... well, I put it there because all red seemed a bit overdone.
In the scenario, I would assume the Nordic countries would either participate in the European Federation structure or form their own bloc.

I think a lighter shade of blue, almost like cyan would be nice as it would closely resemble the RFSSR flag.

Yeah, but I don't want it to. The point is to disassociate the flag from Communism, and any overt similarity to Warsaw-Pact-era symbols would be counterprodutive.
