I'll take a shot at it. I've found a design already which is dates at around 1521.

Here's the New Spain flag and matching unit shield. I wasn't sure if you were saying you needed a Guatamalan flag too so I included some Guatamalan flags used throughout the first half of the nineteenth century along with their matching shields.
One of the Guatamalan flags is from a period when it was known as the Republic of Los Altos, I'm not sure why that was or if its was actually Guatamala with the same name but I included it anyways.

I think this is the one you mean, the one used between 1814 and 1830 it looks like.

No problem at all. If you ever need more flags in the future please don't hesitate to ask. I've built up a large collection and I'd love to share them with other designers.
Just out of curiosity, what scenario is the state of Kentucky flag for? That one has peaked my curiosity.

Well here is what I could whip up for ya. There were several Egyptian flags I understand from this desired era, as they often changed with different ruling families. The one I used in particular was used in the mid-twelth century. Note, the eagle used in the white flag is the same eagle used in the modern Egyptian flag.
The medival Persian flag features a bright sun, and later rulers often inserted animals underneath the sun, the most famous examples were a ram and later a lion.
The Byzantine flag was late 12th century, four crosses of St. George, the red squares containing yellow crosses each had four B's, one in each red corner. The white squares featured only the red cross of St. George.
I chose the banner of the Tokugawa Shogunate as a matter of personal preference. If you would prefer another families banner I would be glad to provide the appropriate one.
The Mongol banner unfortunatly is disputed as being most likely inacurate. Though the banner I used as a reference most likely was used by Mongols, its period of usage can't be agreed on.
And last but certainly not least, in an effort to improve relations between Ontario and Alberta, I have included the nobel flag of Alberta. GO OILERS!!!!

I really appreciate the help, Sarsstock. The Alberta flag is a neat bonus (it may help in a Western seccessionist scenario, if I ever deign to do one), but a few more if I could be so bold: the Mormon Republic of Desheret, the short-lived Texan Republic, the Kingdom of Hawaii (under the Kameihameihas), Imperial Mexico under Maximilian, Vedic era India, and a good Moghul flag, at about the turn of the 14th Century. I don't know if they even had flags, but early medeival Mali, Ghana, Songhai, Buganda, Kongo, and Madagascar, and the Zulu Empire at its height, if they can be found, would also be great. That should be it for a while. Sorry to ask so much, but my skill at bitmap editing frankly stinks, especially with the fine detail of flags. Thanks again!

I'll get to work on those flags ASAP. I'd be curious to see a Western seccessionist scenario, let me know if you ever need help making that one. There already is a great Mormon Deseret flag out there which I will provide you with in my next flag post.

Well, I've had afew days now to look for those flags and I have to say they're not as easy to find as I thought. Especially those medival African flags. Now I'm by no means the leading expert on flag history, but my guess would be that many of those flags simply aren't recorded online as of yet. They might only exist in a dusty old history book somewhere in the middle east or Africa.
Later today I'll post what I was able to find, sorry for comming up short.

Wow!! A New Democrat in Alberta, talk about the 8th Wonder of the World. As for me I'm a red blooded liberal and have been my whole life. I don't diagree with the New Democrat's platform per say, I just have problems with their national leadership.
Whoever we vote for though, odds are we'll be voting again in less than a year, as minority governments don't last.
