Egypt

A pretty basic replacement flag for Egypt. Their flag is one of those red-white-black tricolours that I am also on a mission to replace. This one's not my favourite flag ever, but I've been puzzling it over for a while and I guess this is as good as it's going to get.

The colours are all of those flown over islamic Egypt. Black, Rashiduns and Abbasids; white, Umayyads; gold, Mamluks; red, Ottomans; and green, the Alawiyyahs. I chose the single-star and crescent for simplicity's sake, to represent Islam itself. They also include both the pan-african and pan-arab colour schemes, given their position on the corner of Africa and at the centre of the Arab world.
