Very cool. Could you make it even more simple if you lose the nordic cross and replace it with the fino-ugric octogram but with the 8 radiuses elongated in the shape of the nordic cross?
Based on your flag I tried a couple of variations of this idea of elongating the radiuses, in one I even kept the original octogram separated inspite of the elongations, it really has a more pregnant finn-ugric identity this way rather than just "northern cross feeling"...
