Shortly after the establishment of the State of Memeraeus, one of the three founding members decided to reveal the revolutionary and with immediate effect state flag of the micronation. Although the design might look similar to other flags bearing a vertical triband, it is using unique shades of red and blue.

Since the Imperial House of Memeraeus took over the government of the state, a new flag was introduced; yet, it is strictly used by the members of the Imperial Council and only for imperial affairs. Therefore, the state flag remains the same as before.

Army
-
Army flag,
March 2019–Feb 2020
The army regimental war flag used by Memeraeus consists of three almost equally sized horizontal fields (blue, red and blue), featuring a white cross surrounded by a laurel wreath in the centre of the red field. Below the central part, the flag features the motto of the State, "Noli meme tangere" (Latin for "Touch meme not"). The flag's design is derived from the obverse flag used by Alexander Ypsilantis, leader of Filiki Etairia, founder of the Sacred Band who initiated the Wallachian Uprising (Iași, 1821) with the purpose to aide the Hellenic Revolutionary forces during the Hellenic War of Independence.
Air Force

Air Force flag,
March 2019–Feb 2020
The air force ensign, inspired by the Hellenic Air Force and civil air ensign (1973–1978), features a version of the former Hellenic land flag, using darker blue shades, defaced with the Memeraeus Roundel in the centre of the white cross. Just below the Roundel, the flag features the Byzantine Double-headed Eagle, coloured using the shade of blue featured on the same flag.

Naval jack,
March 2019–Feb 2020
The naval ensign used by Memeraeus consists of three almost equally sized horizontal fields (red, blue and red – the opposite design of the army flag), charged with a white anchor in front of two crossed Minoan dolphins (deducted from a famous fresco) off-centred toward the hoist. The colours were purposely reversed, in order to emphasize the blue colour of the sea. The dolphins are an homage to the Greek naval tradition.
Other forces
Memeraeus also featured flags for the designated forces of Police, Thot Patrol, Border Control and the provisional Space Force.

The design was inspired by the current flag used by the African Union. The red colour symbolises the constant battle of the police force to serve the law and establish order among the civilians of the Memeraeus. Early designs of the flag featured a thin horizontal blue line, but eventually it was omitted.

The canton is charged with the alternative coat of arms of the State, surrounded by 14 5-pointed white stars. The design is based on the flag of the Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma (3 January 1974 – 18 September 1988) and the Union of Myanmar (18 September 1988 – 21 October 2010).

It generally symbolises the night sky and the dream of discovering a new planet to host mankind. The base of the shield features the Latin proverb "Per aspera ad astra", which translates to "Through hardships to the stars".
