Second in Command is a 2006 US/Romanian coproduction, starring
Jean-Claude Van Damme as the new security attaché at the US embassy
in Moldova, in which the US has recently installed a client
regime. The country is already in the middle of a severe political crisis
and teetering at the edge of civil war; after a riot drives the
US-sponsored president out of his palace, he takes shelter at the
embassy, which is then besieged by a force of insurgents (basically a
retelling of Tehran 1979, only with extra violence and a more
favorable-to-the-US outcome.)

Oddly enough, the flag used for the movie's "Moldova"
is not the actual flag of the real Moldova, but a
strange new design: white with a wide blue band at the hoist, containing an
yellow cartouche-like thing like a shield turned sideways, charged with a
black rampant lion. It is shown in the president's office, and several
examples are waved by street protestors. The military vehicles used in the
movie have, however, unchanged markings in the Romanian
colors.
