There is an excellent war game called Ogre / G.E.V. (Ground Effect Vehicle), produced by Steve Jackson Games. It is set in the late 21st century, and involves a series of global conflicts collectively referred to as "The Last War." In the time of the Last War, the world's political powers have been conglomerated into only a few large trans-national empires. Note that the North American Combine and the Paneuropean Federation, who are the principal competitors of the Last War, each have two variants of their flags.
Incidentally, the term "Ogre" refers to the huge, autonomous, cybernetic tanks which are employed by the great powers during the Last War.

Great-Britain and Australia
Great-Britain and Australia are still independents, but closely allied to the North American Combine. They use the current flags of Great-Britain and Australia.
Israel is, as always, isolated within a sea of enemies. Israel's flag is never shown, so it may be presumed to be unchanged.
