The Nelson brothers created three booklets with labeled color drawings of flags from their imaginary world. The flags in this volume are labeled only with initials, making it hard to say with precision which continent, island, fleet or other part of their imaginary world the flags are meant to represent. Using a variety of symbols and formats, the Nelson brothers have created a series of flags that serve as interesting visual aids for understanding their imaginary world.
