| − | Bedistan's original flag created shortly after independence in 2003 had a 3:5 ratio (along with all flags since then) and was divided into two large triangles. The upper left triangle was green and the lower right triangle was blue. In the center of the flag was the bright green sixteen-toothed gear that has always acted as the national symbol, with a big black letter B (for ''Bedistan'') superimposed on it. At the left edge of the flag were thirteen white stars, representing the thirteen states of Bedistan.

| − | In January 2018, to celebrate Bedistani colonization of the planet [[Nótereth]], the national flag was changed drastically, with only the green gear with the letter B remaining the same. The whole background became black with two larger stars, a green one on the left representing Earth and a blue one on the right representing Nótereth. This flag was immensely unpopular among the people, which is why it lasted for only two months.

The blue portion was moved to the left side, and the right side was colored silver. The fourteen smaller stars in the canton reappeared, again representing the fourteen states.

| − | In 2048, Bedistan took temporary control of [[Wikipedia:Argentina|Argentina]], [[Wikipedia:Paraguay|Paraguay]], and [[Wikipedia:Uruguay|Uruguay]], creating 59 new states. Therefore, the eighteen stars in the canton became 77. The two larger stars were removed from the flag, as was the letter B in the center symbol. The entire background returned to the same green color used on the original flag, except for the canton, which retained the original blue color.

| − | After letting go of its South American possessions, Bedistan's flag was due for another remake. This time, the government chose to simplify it. The center symbol was enlarged significantly and placed over a tricolor green-blue-green background. This has recently become the flag in use for the longest period of time in Bedistan.
