This is getting boring.
Let me tell you all an exciting story - a true story at that...

Banned for reusing old jokes.
Banned for being a crusty-ass old jerk on your front porch shaking a gun at people.
As an aside...
The reason I haven't made a flag for my nation is I don't see the Namile ever having NEEDED a flag. Flags are tools to unify people, but what good are they when a people unifies itself?
I may reconsider that decision, as I absolutely LOVE making flags, but that was my original thought.
Honestly, this is a good decision. We COULD add hundreds of stars to the map, or make it super huge, but that'd be strenuous.
Instead, I vote we just remember the stars on the starmap are the most "vital" stars, and there are potentially many more in each region of space that are not shown but are still involved in the given conflicts.

Here's a quick sketch I managed in GIMP as an example. People could easily outline their boundaries in white pencil and then use the 'Fill Bucket' tool with a (preferably dark) color.

May I pay with exact change?

Granted. You are a fish.

@Hael I suppose you right. Maybe I'm just not all into the space mariney-Murrica thing that Hamilton had going. I think they should still have human names...but...like, they couldn't think of something better than Bob? I dunno, I guess it's just a personal thing haha, but it's also related heavily to tone. Blindsight has a couple Bob and Bill like names, but it's quite mind-expanding, and the Ender Saga is really mystical.
I'm probably just a nitpicker lol, ignore it ignore it.
This guy is one of the fathers of the science fiction genre. Some of his works are just WEIRD, but he has some really interesting ones, too. (Including a story where America became a theocracy.)
His version of Starship Troopers is way better than anything the movies will ever make.
EDIT: I mention him because all his names are Earth names.
