Section 1 – Flag

Elements:

1. The white background represents the creation of a nation “from nothing,” born purely from an inspiration from another world.
2. The yellow sun in the center symbolizes the beginning of something new that emerges with the promise of greatness and prosperity and marks the primordial start of the project on the date of the solar eclipse on October 2, 2024. The sun also represents the arid, desert climate of Taured’s future territory.
3. The red Tau Cross represents the name of the nation and the knighthood order that exists in a parallel universe to ours.

Section 2 – National Motto

Peace and Unity (PAX ET UNIO)

Section 3 – Patron of the Nation

Mahatma Gandhi

The reason we chose Mahatma Gandhi as patron is because his life was dedicated to peace and the unity of peoples. His commitment to nonviolence aligns with the foundational values of our nation. Another reason is a curious coincidence of fate: Taured’s founding date, the day of the solar eclipse that gave rise to this entire project, is also Gandhi’s birthday—October 2.

Section 4 – Coat of Arms

Elements:

1. The double-headed eagle represents the two parallel universes connected to each other, according to John Zegrus’s account in Part 1.
2. The sun above the eagle symbolizes the beginning of something new that arises with a promise of greatness and prosperity, initiated by a solar eclipse.
3. The golden shield with the red Tau Cross represents the name of the Nation, present in both parallel universes.
4. The two Earth planets below the claws of the double-headed eagle represent two worlds in distinct parallel realities.

Section 5 – National Seal and Representative Animal

The Unicorn.

The unicorn is the perfect symbol for Taured, as the Nation—and future country—will be something never seen before in the world, with a unique and revolutionary governance model. If until now the concept of a unicorn was limited to rare and innovative companies, we now elevate this idea to a new level—not only will we build a nation, but we will bring to life the world’s first unicorn startup-country in history.
