I have uploaded flag and two coats of arms of Iberia, proposed country on the Iberian Peninsula. Now I write some other information about it. Iberia can begin as personal union of Spain and Portugal at the beginning of modern age, or during World War I where Spain conquers area of Portugal. It can be Francoist and then the king is restored. Iberia is kingdom consisting of four republics (Spain, Portugal, Catalonia, Basque Country) and one federal district - the capital Olivenza. Autonomous regions are Galicia in Portugal and Andalusia in Spain. Official languages are Spanish (statewide, preferred in Spain), Interlingua (statewide, preferred in statewide affairs like English in India), Portuguese (in Portugal and Olivenza), Basque (Basque Country includes Navarre) and Catalan (Catalonia includes Valencia and Balearics). Locally co-official are Asturian, Galician and Mirandese (Aran Valley is not part of Iberia). Time zone is GMT, internet domain .ib, there are four football representations (one for each republic), but at Olympics there is common Iberian team. Iberia is member of CPLP. Iberia is member of Eurozone and its euro coins have this design:
1c - map of Iberia, simple enough for so small coin
2c - pomegranate, symbol of Andalusia, but common in whole Iberia
5c - Francis Xavier, Basque saint popular in Portugal too
10c - Sagrada Familia, symbol of both Catalonia and former Spain
20c - Portuguese seal (or some other Portuguese theme?)
50c - Cervantes, great figure of Spanish language
1€ - CoA of Iberia
2€ - king (who other than Juan Carlos?).
My rendition of these designs is in this gallery (I can imagine better).

Outline of me (Epilogue)
Hello everybody!
I am member of deviantART since Summer 2013 and until now I have published 200 files (pictures and texts). Many of them were flags, coats of arms, maps and alternate history stories. However, the greatest work I compiled at deviantART is this list of language symbols:
First part: official languages (official at national or subnational level)
Second part: unofficial languages (because the first part was full)
Third part: small languages (all that didn't fit in the second part)
Of course I created some linguistic flags and listed them here. My other galleries contain various maps (mainly flag maps), symbols of possible Slo
How to do vexillological trolling
My last journal was about changing the British flag in case of Scottish independence. Now I know the results: 55% for Union, so "Kingdom of Scotland" and "United Kingdom of Southern Great Britain and Northern Ireland" will not appear in next editions of maps. However, if Scotland seceded from the Union, the Union Jack (this term is preferred by Wikipedia) could be unchanged. The Union Jack was created in 1606 after Union of the Crowns and was not changed in 1707 by Union of the Parliaments. In 1801 it was changed while uniting Ireland with Great Britain and not changed in 1921 where Southern Ireland became independent. This tick-tack could ma
Flag of the Scot-free United Kingdom
When you read this entry, referendum about Scottish independence is probably over. I am writing this on September 12th 2014, so I don't know the result. I personally like the Union Flag (this term is less controversial than Union Jack), so I am not prone to change it. However, this is in no way an argument against independence of Scotland! Flags are adapting to countries, not vice versa. I divide this entry in parts: some will be about human-geographic implications of the 'Yes' vote and the others about future flag of the rump United Kingdom (rUK).
Britannia and Hispania were Roman provinces, names of currently fragile countries are derived
Symbols of small languages
Continuation of this and this list, because their size limit was reached.
Here I list languages that don't have official status, ISO 639-1 code, own Wikipedia or Canov's table. They still can have own flag, for example because its ethnicity has flag. Sometimes the language has explicit linguistic flag. Flags of some constructed languages are listed here. These constructed languages are listed in previous entries: Esperanto, Ido, Interlingua, Interlingue, Volapük, Novial, Lojban. The rest is here.

Unanswered questions:
Should Gibraltar join Iberia? If yes, should it be part of Spain or federal district?
What language should be official in Iberian colonies (mainly former Portuguese)?
Preserve Portuguese, or rather switch to Spanish (or Esperanto)?
And what should be next country to be "recreated" in this timeline?
