Can we get avatars for Pakistan and Malaysia? And also, I'm troubled by the length of the Chile avatar. I realize it's an unusually-shaped country, but it makes posts take up an unnecessary amount of screen real estate.

I'm sorry that not all of us have the good luck of living in thicc states, and it's not as of the one for Argentina was all that shorter

Lourdes - good start, but needs to be crisper (they are too blurry), and smaller. Use the other avatars as a guide. Same font/color per each avatar party type, same general size, etc.

Which font do you use?

I just copy and paste from existing avatars, with the only important thing to note being the white letters aren't actually white - they're transparent, I think.

They're not transparent and the font is just Times size 9 (iirc)

Do EU27 + EU28 + USA next.

But how do you include Hawaii and Alaska ?



I tried making a US one, so far I couldn't make anything that looks decent enough

Looks like a mistake in the Socialist Romania avatar. It says S-SO instead of S-RO


Thanks, here's the fixed version

I can manage to get a white background but not transparent, what program or tool could I use to how this?

Paint.net is probably the easiest to learn out of the free programs

There's also GIMP and Inkscape (or Photoshop and Illustrator which are paid apps), and a bunch of mobile apps like Sketch

I'd really like a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth avatar. If we have the Ottoman, Napoleonic Empire, Roman and Byzantine empires, not to mention the USSR, I think it should be included as well.

Truman made it, it's up to Virginia now

Needs a couple changes. R-PE and D-VE both have black text instead of white.

Thanks, fixed

I cant even imagine what it would be like for new users to try and place a avatar now with a billion options

CTRL F + "name of ountry" or "2-letter code", super hard TBH
