The coat of arms of Nova Caradia consists of a pair of black, crossed swords encircled by a stylised circle meant to represent binding chains. The iconography of crossed swords (Sarnechi: săbiile încrucișate) dates back to an ancient association of the idea with peace in the Duchy of Caradia, which began with a tradition in the nation's early history wherein a feuding person who wished to end an argument amicably and without violence would hold a sword out in front of their chest. If the other agreed to end the argument peacefully, they would place their sword crossed with the other, then both people would sheath their swords and part ways. The encircling chain represents the reborn nation's commitment to remain bound by law, rather than become totalitarian again.
