![[like the us flag but with less stars and vertical bars]](../images/f/fic^jerc.gif)
by Marc Pasquin, 16 May 2007
On the season finale of the post-apocalyptic CBS series, "Jericho," a new "US"
flag was seen flying over a Marine encampment in Kansas. It was left unclear if
they represented the "real" Federal government, re-exerting control over the
country, or a factional government.
The flag can be seen on this YouTube video at about the 15 second mark.
The flag contain approximately 21 white stars in a circular formation on a blue canton, and 13
vertical red and white stripes.

It would appear that the flag in question is used by the new federal government. On this wikipedia page for the episode (which include a screengrab of the flag) you can find the following quote:
Prior to this, Hoffman [an army commander] informed Heather that a federal government has been restored with the capital being Cheyenne, Wyoming, although Texas and "a bloc in the east" are apparently in dispute with this new authority.The 21 stars then probably represent the states under its control although I can't see why the bars would be in a different orientation.
If you read the Jericho season 1 wikipedia article, it
would have indicated that there were earlier 5 or 6 claimants to the
US Presidency. That would account for a different flag. See also here
