Description
This is the alternate history flag of the ( Reunited ) Republic of Three Nations, used since the end World War II, until the end of the Cold War. More details on that later - when I finish the map of it that I'm working on ( hopefully soon; been working on it since the year started though... ).You can see the pre-World War I map of Europe ( with the Republic of Three Nations ) right here: [link]
Also, I'd really appreciate it if anyone could point out when the Belarusian and Ukrainian languages became separate.
----------
The bright Red color symbolizes the Three Nations themselves: Poland ( White Eagle ), Lithuania ( Vytis ), Ruthenia ( Archangel Michael ).
The White stripe symbolizes a bright future and unity of the people.
And the dark Red stripes symbolize the Constitution of May 3 that keeps/binds the three countries together.
----------
This was made using GIMP v2. I used an edited January Uprising coat of arms ( from the wiki ) for the logo - it's not made by me, though I edited it to be fitting for the Republic.

yes, i'm also interested.
and as far as the Polish-Lithuania-Ruthenia concept is concerned - i've once made a very minimalistic version of blending of symbols of these three entities:

is it for purpose that the Polish eagle holds a double cross? AFAIK on the January uprising coats of arms it holds a simple cross... i suspect you wanted to show the mutual relation between Lithuania and Poland - clever design.
and i doubt the dark-bright stripes would be used on an actual flag, although there does exist a real flag with three shades of blue... [link]
anyway, i like your idea and its execution.

I've always wanted redo this CoA into more "modern" style. One day I will
As for Belarusian and Ukrainian it depends who will you ask. One will say that Old-Belarusian was first written east-slavic language and served as official in GDL (as you probably knew) and this was 15th century. But honestly modern Bealrusian and Ukrainian was standardised in 19th (same as modern Lithuanian) when national identity was born. Some of this disquisitions were made artificially in order to purify, some words were reintroduce from Old-Church-Slavonic or totally developed (but line in modern Lithuanian some Polish, Russian or German loanwords came back to common language).
Back to CoA you may also interested into this [link]
And I wish emphasise my great respect for You - You are first Lithuanian who I met who create alternate history reunion scenario of PLC

the cross on the January uprising flag you've linked seems to have three beams, or rather one half-beam to one side, and two half-beams to other side...
