I am not asking you to vote for me, but it would be wonderful if you did.
The black flag has been used to embody the idea of global citizenship since the 1880's. It represents the absence of a flag, therefore, the absence of nations and of borders.
The addition of the circle is intended - like many tribal cultures - to illustrate a decentralized social structure. The circle doubles as a globe without any natural distinctions or borders.
The flag is asymmetrical allowing for it to be displayed in such a way that it implies times of distress or of peace.
The simple flag design allows for easy reproduction. Anybody can easily draw a rectangle with an offset circle in it. Symbols easy to reproduce ensure longevity and have a viral effect. One need not rely on expensive reproduction methods to create their own flag or scrawl it's image on a wall.
