![[Fictional flag of the state the Simpsons live in]](../images/f/fic-usnk.gif)
This is the flag of the US state that Springfield, the setting of the animated show "The Simpsons" is in. One of the show's running gags is that you never know precisely what state Springfield is in - often characters will be about to say the name when, say, a passing train obscures their words.
In one episode, evil nuclear power plant owner Monty Burns runs for governor, and in one of his campaign commercials we see the state flag. This is it. Except for the motto in the bottom stripe, I'd actually prefer this design to many seal-on-a-monocolored-background designs.

In tonight's episode, the Confederate imagery on the state flag (it looks like a Second Confederate Naval Jack sinking into the ocean) is declared to be a disgrace "especially as we're a Northern State." This sparks a state flag contest among the kids.

The design looked like Arizona's flag with the CBF in place of the
star. I guess Springfield is in southeren Arizona??
