Fracture is a third-person shooter video game released in 2008 for
the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The game is set in a 22nd-century
world ravaged by global warming; rising water levels had in 2145 split the
United States into two landmasses, on either side of the former Mississippi
basin. The two sides diverge culturally as well, with the Pacific seaboard
conducting research into human genetic engineering, which the more conservative
technologically-oriented Atlantic considers an abomination. In 2161 (not
coincidentally the bicentary of the Civil War) the US passes a law stripping
citizenship from those genetically modified, prompting the West to secede under
the name Pacifica. A war immediately breaks out between it
and the rump US, which renames itself the Atlantic Alliance.
The flags of both entities can be seen in a trailer for the game at the
official site.

Pacifica’s flag is orange, with a white horizontal stripe at
its midpoint and a vertical DNA helix in its center, voided blue.

The Atlantic Alliance’s is seemingly based
on that of the U.S., with thirteen blue/white
stripes in a blue-edged “box”; instead of a canton there is a
wide red panel at the hoist, charged with a single large white star, shifted
upwards

Not unlike the West Papua independentist
flag.
