Prior to the establishment of the Balak Empire, democratic and republican movements began to adopt a flag known as the "rivers flag", in part inspired by the flag of the Republic of Hamawan, whose stripes held the same symbolism. This design was a pentaband with five stripes of equal width and alternating colours, three red and two gold, with the gold stripes representing the country's two most significant rivers, the Kashis and Braghak Rivers. A triband variant of the rivers flag with a single gold stripe was used by some movements in what is now southern Balakia and Gushlia, solely representing the Braghak River, although this was later discarded in the former.
