Introduction

Back in the 70s there was a very interesting UK/Canada co-production called "Power Play", about the planning and execution of a military coup in a fictional and un-named possibly European country (it was filmed in Yugoslavia IIRC). It was inspired by Edawrk Luttwak's "Coup D'Etat: A Practical Handbook".
Roy Stilling, 10 February 1996

The movie was completed in 1978, and was filmed mainly in Canada with an international cast.

Unnamed Country

The country used a vertical tricolour of blue, yellow and green. It was used very consistently throughout, with it appearing on all the military vehicles.

The designers worked out an air force roundel which was composed of concentric green-yellow-blue circles.
