All flags of Fortressian government organizations must have a 1:2 ratio, with the exception of the flags of offices, which must instead have a 1:1 ratio. These rules apply to all flags across the Principality, while there may be additional rules for certain sorts of flags representing different categories of organization or thing. For example, colonial flags must have three squares of pink, white, and black equaling 1/6 the total area and located at the hoist in addition to whatever other design is present. These rules do not apply to non-governmental flags such as the personal flag of the [[Princess]] or those of the [[Libertine Party]], although the latter complies with them voluntarily. | All flags of Fortressian government organizations must have a 1:2 ratio, with the exception of the flags of offices, which must instead have a 1:1 ratio.

Typically if a government organ does not have its own flag, either because it doesn't need one or one hasn't been designed for it yet, it will use the flag used by the organization it is subordinate to. | |||

Fortressian Vexillology refers to the flags of the Principality, and to the rules which govern their design, display, and care.
General Construction
All flags of Fortressian government organizations must have a 1:2 ratio, with the exception of the flags of offices, which must instead have a 1:1 ratio. These rules apply to all flags across the Principality, while there may be additional rules for certain sorts of flags representing different categories of organization or thing. For example, colonial flags must have three squares of pink, white, and black equaling 1/6 the total area and located at the hoist in addition to whatever other design is present. These rules do not apply to non-governmental flags such as the personal flag of the Princess or those of the Libertine Party, although the latter complies with them voluntarily.
Use
Typically if a government organ does not have its own flag, either because it doesn't need one or one hasn't been designed for it yet, it will use the flag used by the organization it is subordinate to.
State and Government Flags
Flag of the Principality of the Pillow Fortress
The Flag of the Principality of the Pillow Fortress consists of a canton of three horizontal stripes of one each; pink (#FFAEC9), representing change, difference, diversity, and energy, white (#FFFFFF), representing purity of purpose, and black (#000000), representing solidarity with all oppressed and downtrodden peoples yearning for the freedom found within the Principality. The field is cyan (#3399FF), representing both the sky and the ocean, two seemingly endless expanses which symbolize endless possibility. The lack of any charge or badge within the field is symbolic of the Pillow Fortress lacking any territory, and thus lacking anything concrete with which to derive further symbolism from.
Territorial Flags
Flag of the Pillowans Abroad Province
The Flag of the Pillowans Abroad Province consists of a cyan (#3399FF) field, representing the field on the flag of the Pillow Fortress, surrounded by a white (#FFFFFF) border, which symbolizes separation and distance. Together these components symbolize the residents of the province being physically apart from the rest of the Principality.
Flag of Marie Byrd Colony
The Flag of Marie Byrd Colony consists of the tricolor colonial stripe along the hoist, and a bicolor of dark blue (#0000CC) representing the waters of the Antarctic Ocean, and white (#FFFFF) representing the Antarctic continent, divided upward diagonally. Should the colony ever be integrated into the Principality as a province, the colonial stripe will be removed and the rest of the design reproportioned to fit a 1:2 ratio.
Flag of Olympus Mons Colony
The Flag of the Olympus Mons Colony consists of the tricolor colonial stripe along the hoist, and depiction of the surface of the planet Mars and the Olympus Mons volcano as seen on the horizon. The ground is gold (#FFCC33) and the sky is dark red (#CC0000). Should the colony ever be integrated into the Principality as a province, the colonial stripe will be removed and the rest of the design reproportioned to fit a 1:2 ratio.
Provisional Flags the FSSGR - TTE Colonies
The Principality's colonies organized under the FSSGR - TTE, aside from Olympus Mons Colony, all have provisional flags designed over the course of a few hours in order that their articles on the Pillow Fortress Wiki conform to those of the other territorial entries. Some effort was made at including a bit of symbolism, but as none of these are intended to be permanent, whether or not that modest meaning is maintained in future designs remains an unanswered question.
Flag of the Proxima Sol Economic Zone. It depicts a highly stylized rendition of the planet Mercury and the Sun.
Flag of the Morning Star Colony. The stripes depict a cross section of the planet Venus from atmosphere to surface.
Flag of the Clair de Lune Colony. The gray circle depicts the moon while the white crescent implies artificial lights as seen from space.
Flag of the L1 Archipelago. The number of stars denote which of the five Lagrangian Archipelagos it is.
Flag of the L2 Archipelago
Flag of the L3 Archipelago
Flag of the L4 Archipelago
Flag of the L5 Archipelago
Flag of the Helium Shores Colony. It depicts a highly stylized rendition of the planet Jupiter with its great red spot.
Flag of the Hades Colony. It depicts the surface of the Jovian moon Io.
Flag of the New Byrd Land Colony. It's the flag of the Marie Byrd Colony but with a star on it to denote both outer space and newness.
Flag of the Cherubim's Glory Colony. It depicts the mythological cherubim emanating glory.
Flag of the Alter-Pacifica Colony. The gold and blue are taken from a false color image of the moon Titan's hydrocarbon lakes.
Flag of the Sideways Colony. The pun is obvious.
Flag of the Alter-Atlantica Colony. Blue and cyan are the traditional colors of the planet Neptune, while the expanding triangle implies expansion out into trans-Neptunian space.
