Beyond the Southern Cross

Why the Republic Removed the Stars from Its Flag

Wendell’s Diary

For over a century, Australia’s flag has flown under the Southern Cross.
Five stars in the sky. A symbol of our position on the Earth. A reminder:

We are southern. We are separate. We are seen.

But today, the Mythocratic Republic has released a new flag.
And the Southern Cross is gone.

This was no accident.
This was liberation.

The Stars Were Beautiful—But They Were Not Us

The Southern Cross gave Australians a romantic sense of place.
It tied us to the night sky and to a southern identity.

But over time, it also became a kind of cage:

  • A reminder of where we are,
  • but not who we are.
  • A symbol of distance,
  • but not direction.

The stars described our location.
They did not describe our values.

A Shift From Geography to Meaning

The Mythocratic Republic is not bound by borders or coordinates.
We are not “under” anything.
We are not defined by the hemisphere we happen to be born into.

We are defined by:

  • Purpose
  • Philosophy
  • Emergence

Our new flag reflects this.

We took the Commonwealth Star, symbol of federation and people,
and brought it into the center—directly over the heart of the Union Jack.
We fused our symbols, we unified our message.

We didn’t just move the star.
We moved our identity.

Why We Let Go of the Southern Cross

We removed it because it no longer served the mission.
We removed it because we no longer need to prove where we are.

We are not a Republic under a Southern sky.
We are a Republic under our own sky—
a sky built of ideas, stories, laws, laughter, fabric, and flame.

This was not a rejection of the past.
It was a refocusing.

**The Southern Cross Was a Place.

Now We Are a People.**

The stars were beautiful.
But they were distant.

We keep what matters:

  • The Commonwealth Star—the people.
  • The Union Jack—reimagined, not erased.
  • The myth—no longer looking up for meaning, but radiating outward from within.

We didn’t abandon the Southern Cross.
We simply outgrew it.

We are not lost without the stars.
We are found in each other.

And from this day forward,
when you see our flag, you will know:

This Republic doesn’t tell you where it is.
It tells you why it exists.
