Introduction

Armitage III is a 1994 animated SF/mystery OAV series, set in the city of Saint Lowell, the capital of a future habitable Mars (also known as Armitage III: Poly-Matrix, in compliation-movie form. A 2002 sequel, Armitage III: Dual Matrix, was set on Earth). The plot involves a spate of murders, the victims of which all turn out to be “Thirds”, highly advanced androids passing as humans. The two detectives investigating the case (one of them a Third herself) eventually discover the murders are being quietly perpetrated by the Mars government itself, for political reasons; Mars is in the midst of a diplomatic rapprochment with Earth, whose government is ideologically hostile to self-replicating machines, and eliminating the Thirds is the price of a new treaty. Near the end of the movie, the Chairwoman of the Earth Federation arrives on Mars for a state visit, during which setpiece the flags of the two entities are repeatedly shown.

The Mars flag is a horizontal tricolor of green, white and orange-red, with — in the white stripe — a tree cradling a red sphere among its branches, presumably the planet?

The Earth flag is a UN knockoff, with some modifications: the Earth is inclined ~30 degrees from the ecliptic and shows only one hemisphere, centered on the Pacific Ocean. The moon is also present, and five stars are nestled in the wreath.
