In the 1970s and '80s there was a TV series about a crusading coroner (Dr. Quincy whose first name was never revealed) that took place in Los Angeles.

There was an episode called "By the Death of a Child" which originally aired
on 4 October 1979. Dr. Quincy was
sent to the Republic of San Christos (which seems a little bit like an
oxymoron). The republic was an English-speaking Caribbean island with
Spanish and French heritage. Like mainland Venezuela, it was a newly oil
exporting country.
In any event, it had a reasonably well-designed fictional flag which was
prominently featured from a top flagpoles and on motor cars. Unfortunately,
the colours contrasted and complemented one another poorly. It is possible
the pile was an equilateral triangle and that the ratio was greater than
2:3, but that's the best I could do with the images on the screen and the
scribbles on the back of my envelope.
