The Flag of the Second Spanish Republic, which was destroyed prior to WWII (or during it, depending on who you talk to.)

They were a Republic, starting to offer every citizen a fair deal, when a military Junta took over. This coup was replicated in many other Latin American nations, taking the queue from their Ancestral Government.

This flag was banned, and draconian Socially Conservative laws were put in place. Things like speaking your native dialect or language were forbidden at times by death.

If we continue on the road we are headed, the Republicans and Orephiles might go Francisco Franco on us...

Something to think about
