Pumpkin Scissors is the name of a 2006 anime series which takes place in an otherwise
unnamed Empire amid the immediate aftermath of a protracted war between
that empire and another major power, the Frost Republic, both roughly at a 1920s
level of technology. The title refers to the codename (like "Alpha
Bravo") of a military unit, the Third Relief Corps of the Imperial army,
trying to combat the lingering devastation, shortages, famine, and
general breakdown of society.

The flag of the Empire is shown in the prologue to episode 1
(screenshot): a
dark-lavender field with an odd sort of double cross, mostly turquoise
but with a narrow black/white border - except for the lower crossbar,
which is black - and with gold fringe on the fly end only. Location is
apparently supposed to be Europe, though I'm not positive.
