The serial is about a future Earth where oceans have been colonized and
divided among a number of different and somewhat independent states. The
"somewhat" there is due to the existence of the UEO, the United Earth
Oceans, a post-UN type of organization, a mix of global police force and global
government. The Seaquest itself is a submarine, belonging to the UEO,
extremely high-tech and nearly unbeatable. Flags are a common sight in the
show (since political meanders between the various entities take a good part
of the action), being the flag of the UEO the commonest of them all.

The flag of the UEO is typical UN: a complex symbol in
the center of a plain blue background.

It was a circular logo featuring
a golden trident.

This had nothing to do with the white on blue Seaquest logo: That was
simply the symbol of the submarine itself, and (quite believably) all the
flags of nations and/or organizations had their own symbols. In any case, take
this with a grain of salt. It's been a while.

It's the flag of the Montagnard Confederation, a state of south-east
Asia. It's hard to know exactly where it lies, since no maps are given,
but the physical type of the leaders and the flag itself make good hints.
It's in Indochina, probably occupying the whole or parts of Vietnam and
of maybe nearby states as well. The flag is yellow with 4 horizontal red stripes
along the central third of the flag and a black star superimposed on the
stripes, also in the center. Pretty good vex object, if I might add…

It sure reminds me of the old South-Vietnamese
flag.
