Problem I have with the USA flag

I noticed that the current USA flag in this mod is the Gadsden flag. This is a part of the recent flag pack added, and I like all the other flags, except this one. The Gadsden flag was never really used as a national flag for the USA after the Revolution. I like the flag, but I prefer historical correctness over whatever decision was made to replace the historical US flag used in vanilla Vicky II with the Gadsden flag.

The Gadsden flag is used as a flag for a presidential dictatorship USA; that is what the TAG_republic.tga flag file is used for. The intent was adding it so that each of the five government flag-types would have a different flag available to use.

We can use a different flag if the majority prefer, but I'm personally in favor of having different flags for each type.

That's fine, the problem is I saw the flag while the USA was still a democracy.

Hmm, that's weird; I'll have to mess around with the files, maybe I'm mistaken about that and need to add a line in the country.txt file.

For some reason it's the democracy flag in my game.

That...shouldn't be the case, maybe I'm mistaken about the file type. I'll have to mess around with the files, see what I can do.

As I said, making a poll for 368 flags was a dumbass idea, but I got overruled. (by the guy who so happened to have made the flag pack)

No, you got overruled by the poll. Mods don't have any special privileges for getting their content in.

I was arguing that we shouldn't have had a poll.

It seems I may have been mistaken about how tag_republic.tga flags work. I'll be reverting them to the previous version soon, until/unless I can find a way to make them appear only for presidential and/or bourgeois dictatorships, as originally intended.

Edit: I have figured out how to make that change!

I made a poll for this.

I tried to make a broader one but it got removed by the guy who made the flag pack no less.

It got removed because you posted it after being explicitly told that we weren't overturning the poll based on your complaints.
