The National Coat of Arms of the Grand Duchy of Flandrensis
Adopted: 4 September 2008
Meaning of CoA Explained: The Coat of Arms of Flandrensis depicts a shield with two passant lions, surrounded by the chain of the Order of the Melting Mountain. Below the shield is a ribbon with Flandrensis' national motto "No Humans, Only Nature" written on it and above the shield sits the crown of Flandrensis.
The Flandrensisian lions are inspired on the Flemish lion, the coat of arms of the counts of Flanders. It traditionally symbolises bravery, valour, strength, and royalty, since traditionally, it is regarded as the king of beasts. According to some historians the first Flemish lion was passant gardant (walking) and not rampant (standing), therefore the founder used two lions passant gardant, the second lion symbolises again the resurrection of the medieval Flandrensis.
