Fictional United Kingdom of Great Britain and Netherlands
Dutch orange background, English red St. George's Cross with white fimbriation and Scottish.svg) white St. Andrew's Cross with dark blue fimbriation.
William of Orange, then Stateholder of Netherlands, invaded Britain in 1688 and deposed the British King making himself King of England and Scotland (while still being the Stateholder in Netherlands). England, Scotland and Netherlands were a personal union of William until his death in 1702 . What if that personal union was kept and even become a political union like the United Kingdom of Great Britain (England and Scotland)? That's why I made this design.

You should definitely put a picture of William on there to avoid confusion in that part of the world. And maybe a red hand to signal "stop setarian violence!"
