The flag of The West Pacific resembles the flag of the Japanese Imperial Army. The Japanese invaded many nations, and this flag is a symbol of racism and fear, and it glorifies violence.

This impacts all of the people who were invaded by the Japanese and are playing NationStates. This flag glorifies violence and racism, in a way that it is viewed by many people globally.

This should have been outright banned, but the nations of many playing NationStates and their protection from racism is now at stake as we are now allowing a racist flag, even praising it.

It has always been the time to act. We need to stop racism in NationStates.
