Right now, the United States is nearly in perfect balance with a population of India-Americans of the Old World and Indian-Americans of New World. Indians were the chosen name, given to the native souls of North America, whose spirit was here long before the arrival of Africans or Europeans. India-Americans are perfectly balanced as the last of the Old World peoples to come to America. Yet are now confused perpetually with Native Americans. I suppose there is some cosmic reason the first flag of the United States looked like the flag of the East India Company?
Unless You're Kali
Nonetheless this Don't Tread on Me flag honors India-Americans. Singular use of India allows the mind to focus on India rather than Indian, which is ambiguous to mean New World or Old World Indian. But India-America clarifies this issue. The man with the snake is the Hindu God of Shiva who was first thrust in America's face with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 1984.

The US flag was placed as the background purposefully as a statement. Its message can all depends on the observer, but one can assume this movie is making a statement about taking a stand against a corrupt system.
It looks like the flag of Peru makes a small appearance in this movie. You can just barely see flag above the cashier's head. It looks like the flag of Canada, but remember it was designed long before the Canadian flag.

A happy heart song sung and co-wrote by Meghan Trainor, Better When I'm Dancing is a well written theme song performed in the grand slam Peanuts Movie of 2015. The song is a sweet jasmine-like bucket of flowers, gushing with smiles and sunshine.
Of vexillological importance is the Royal Diner logo which is a stylized crown of four points with a dash underneath.
Here is a shot of Mr. Brown doing the classic mop dance, that just happens to have a purple pennant in the background.
Malta's EEZ flag is based upon the Naval Jack, which is more distinguished than its national flag. This international area of the Mediterranean Sea is under the control of Malta's economic engine.
