[Malabra]

The Constitutional Monarchy of Malabra's official animal is the tiger (which is native to our area).

[Federalist]

The Commonwealth of Pagemaster's animal is the horse

[Domnonia]

The National Animal of the Domini Peoples is the Burgeoning Owl, which is currently flourishing in our many lush forests.

[Groot Gouda]

Groot Gouda has the Weasel, renowned as coward throughout the country. It's too scared to get extinct

[Keeslandia]

Keeslandia - The Keeshond

[The Ayyubids]

The Poodle

[Keeslandia]

Another dog nation! If only Kanine Crusaders hadn't evaporated. Sigh.

[Yoshitaria]

The national animal of The Allied States of Yoshitaria is the Duck which frolics freely in our nation's many lush forests.

[Yuunli]

The national animal of Yuunli is the owl. This is also the animal of a small province on Mysh Island. Here's the flag of the Oylbesh province:


The owl is also the sacred animal for the strigidists, who make up half of Yuunli's population. This is the symbol of modern strigidism:

Three dog nations, three owl nations!

The Cat...

Uninspiring but cute and affectionate. Indipendent and mad!

I wouldn't call any animal uninspiring. In fact, the point behind national animals is to provide our people's with something to identify with.

I also think our animals tell others a bit about our nations.

[People from Nederland]

The animal of my nation is the Eagle, it's a magnificent bird and it is symbolic for the strenght of my nation.
In my main nation(Batavorium) the Eagle is also my national animal. But in most of my puppets I have other animals.

[DataGenesis]

The national animal of DataGenesis is the puppy. Puppies are infinitely huggable and roam freely around the nation keeping the inhabitants very happy.

Unfortunately our former national animal, the bunny (equally huggable), was hugged/eaten to extinction. We do not plan to make the same mistake again with our cute little puppies.

[Lloegr-Cymru]

Our animal is the draig (Welsh for dragon).

We have two main varieties: Y Draig Goch (The Red Dragon), which forms part of our flag, and Y Draig Ddu (The Black Dragon). But their are other breeds, also distinguished primarily by colour.

[Sober Thought]

Sober Thought went with fox, because I thought "crazy like a fox" or "clever as a fox" seemed to reflect the idea of thought. However, I like the owl theme which suggests more wisdom rather than mere sneakiness.

Would owl nations object if joined their bandwagon and adopted Weeps the owl of Farley Mowat fame as my national animal? I haven't read the book in more than 25 years, but it made a big impression on me as a child. I think it was a common barn owl.

*** HAVING SEEN NO OBJECTIONS, changed to Weeps the Owl 8 July 2005 ***

(An owl-themed flag I made for American Federalist before it chose its James Madison-themed Stars and Stripes variant

[wondervolle]

Wondervolles animal is the wombat.

[RepublicOfKalida]

The national animal of the Republic of Kalida is the wild horse-- majestic, free, and certainly not threatened with extinction! We love them here!

[Adam Island]

AI's is the Llama.

[Antrium]

Antrium's national animal is the hare, which I chose basically because I just like rabbits, and a hare sounded better

[Grosseschnauzer]

When that list was first compiled, the other schnauzervolk nations were still outside the IDU. Sine all five of the schnauzervolk nations are here now, for the record, all five share the same national animal, the wild schnauzer, and the same currency.

[Baranxtu]

Baranxtu's national animal is the tiger, and regarding the flag - boy, what a surprise ;-)

Actually, it's cats in general, but the tiger holds a special place. Long live the tiger, rowr!

[Lawtonia]

The national animal of Lawtonia is the Drop Bear or Phascolarctos hodgsonii which is related to the Koala. The Lawtonian flag depicts the Alpine Drop Bear. Attached is a picture of the Common Drop Bear
