The Eureka Browncoats - it has a ring to it!!
Thank you CaptainJosh06! You are way talented and very shiny!! - love, Magda x x x
P.S. I was just pondering and I wondered if it is possible to mention 'Australia' or 'Down Under' in some way - even in a sub-line or shadow - it needn't be too obvious... just to give those folk that don't know the connection an idea of where we're from?
Thank you again my dear Josh! (My gorgeous nephew is called Josh... great name!) - love, Magda x x x
Is that ok?

Gosh I love Virginia. There's a picture of a dead man with his aggressor resting a foot on the cadavor. I know the Latin translates to "Thus always to tyrants", but it might as well just say "Don't fuck with us".
On the subject of FireFly, I don't think any other flag could capture the sentiments of the show half as well. God bless the commonwealth!

That would be Athena resting her foot on a tyrant king. I find it to be a great flag, showing how Virginia has always fought tyranny and despot kings.

and yet Virginia, like many southern states, based much of its economy on slave labour. Also, i was under the impression that only Mass. still called itself a commonwealth while the others were just "the state of ...."

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

Yes, and all of that was what, 140 + years ago? Hindsight is 20-20 they say, and it is easy to look back now and pass judgement, but that was a different time with different perceptions and beliefs.
Virginia is a Commonwealth, as is I believe Kentucky. I was not aware that Mass referred to itself as a Commonwealth.

And that seems to imply that only southern states used slaves. New York City was the second largest slave market behind Charleston and considered seceding along with the South. You mentioned Massachusets, the first colony in New England to have slaves (the 1620's) and which was the leader of slave trade in New England. There was a long history of slavery in both the North and the South that can't be simply wiped away.
If I recall correctly Georgia was the only colony that forbade slavery at its inception. The colony's governor was eventually forced out by the landowners because they couldn't compete with all of the colonies that used slaves, including the northern colonies. I find it bizarre that such an enlightened viewpoint as the colony's founder had is not heralded more.
