The flag of the Yellow Empire shows a dark red eight point star on white, with a (black-line contoured) also dark red disc inside it.

It would seem curious that a Yellow Empire (in comics) has a white and red flag, but yellow in this context has to do with skin colour. The flag is blatantly inspired by the Japanese flag.
