Introduction

"Su Excelencia" ("Your Excellency") is a 1966 Mexican film starring comedian Mario Moreno (a.k.a. Cantinflas). The movie was a satiric take on Cold War intrigue; the Communist and Capitalist blocs decide to hold a vote to dectermine control of the world, and a small, fictional Latin American nation, the Republica de los Cocos, emerges as the tie-breaker. The setting was the Cocos embassy to the communist-block state of Pepeslavia.

I have just used the film title in an image search and some nice pictures with flags (posters and/or video covers) turned up.

I searched beforehand too -- I think there were two versions of the poster, both wih Moreno at a podium with some flags behind him; they all seemed to be made-up ones, or at least unidentifiable. The movie's climax, meanwhile, takes place at an international summit, in a large auditorium displaying a great many actual national flags.

Republic of the Cocos

by Eugene Ipavec, 16 April 2007

The Republic of the Cocos is a Latin American country, somewhat unstable (early in the movie, there are three coups d'etat in the course of one state dinner). The flag is horizontally 5-striped green/white, with an oval emblem in the center, depicting a coconut palm against a blue sky. Appears at the Cocos embassy.

Pepeslavia

by Eugene Ipavec, 16 April 2007

Pepeslavia is a major communist-block power; location not specified, but given the Slavic character of the name of the state and of its leading politicians, and the fact that they can in one scene be overheard speaking Russian, Europe would likely be a good guess.) Flag is dark green, with thin gold bands at the top and bottom and three white stars in the center. Appears at a formal ball given by the regime.
