Looks like it has a bow and arrow at its base, and flanked by cornucopias of fruit and crops.
As far as I can tell, it’s just the coat of arms for Gran Colombia
According to the blazon gazetted by Gran Colombia when they first adopted it it's a "Colombian fasces". Here's the relevant bit, lifted from, where else, Wikipedia (my emboldening):
Escudo de la Gran Colombia, decretado el 6 de octubre de 1821:
Artículo 1: Se usará en adelante, en lugar de armas, de dos cornucopias llenas de frutos y flores de los países fríos, templados y cálidos, y de las fasces colombianas que se compondrán de un hacecillo de las lanzas con la segur atravesada, arcos y flechas cruzados, atados con cinta tricolor por la parte inferior. Artículo 2: El gran sello de la República y sellos del despacho tendrán grabado este símbolo de la abundancia, fuerza y unión con que los ciudadanos de Colombia están resueltos a sostener su independencia, con la siguiente inscripción en la circunferencia: “República de Colombia”.
I'd guess that someone tried to draw a fasces based on a description without ever having seen an image, and got it wrong, but that they decided to keep it anyway and tweaked the blazon to make it sound like a deliberate choice
My command of Spanish is far too weak to actually research that theory though.

Interesting. Thank you.
… Russlaveliberation (Rus. Росрабосвобождение, Rosrabosvobozhdeniye), the full name of the Federal Service for Purchase and Liberation of Slaves is the Russian federal executive body of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia created by decree of President German Myuller in 2073. It is responsible for entering the redemption of slaves in barbarian states, their liberation and integration into Russian society…
… The reason for the creation of the Russlaveliberation was the loss of the Migration Rush by Russia during the Second Thirty Years War (see Migration Rush) and necessity for the integrated development of Russian territories depopulated during the Second and Third Republics (see USSR, Russian Federation)…
… Russlaveliberation played an important role in improving the fate of the "living goods" at the turn of the XXI – XXII centuries. The main centers where the service operated were Seville, Alexandria, Chennai, Aomen, Veracruz…
… The decline of the service is associated with the Suez Wars and the desire of the British Empire to control the demographic traffic on the planet…
A new flag for Hong Kong based on both the protest flag of the 2019 protests and the colonial era flag of Hong Kong, both of which are being used in the protests against the Chinese Government.

A bundle of sticks, otherwise known as a fagot. The idea behind the fagot is when you have one stick, it'll break easily. But have a lot of sticks bundled together, and they'll make a strong bond. Basically, the idea of fascism is unify the nation's people with a strong state and the nation will withstand pressure similar to how a fagot withstands pressure. The symbol has origins in the Roman Republic, so it is has more prominence in our post-Rome civilization than you may realize. But Mussolini ruined all that because of some sort of wet dream of rebuilding the Roman Empire.
Even without fascism, it represents a basic idea of unity. I don't know, symbolism gets weird sometimes.
A British empire, for exempleAh but what is an RPG empire without some

on the flag?
The United Kingdoms of Hungary and Romania: formed in 1932 as a union of the kingdoms of Hungary and Romania under Carol II of Romania. Joined the Axis in WWII, and was dismantled into the Hungarian People's Republic, the People's Republic of Wallachia, and the Moldavian SSR in 1946.
People's Republic of Wallachia: split off from Hungary-Romania by the Soviets in 1946, Wallachia became part of the Soviet sphere. In 1990, Wallachia deposed its communist government in a bloodless coup, and in 1993 held a referendum on reunion with the Republic of Moldova, which seceded from the USSR that year. Wallachia voted against union and remains independent. The independence era flag replaced the red field with blue, and the hammer with a star.
Flag of the Moldavian SSR, which used the Romanian tricolor post-independence as the Republic of Moldova.
Alaska's flag is fine, but it can be better.

Flag of the People's Republic of Danubia, formed from a Communist revolution in Austria-Hungary in 1918.
Flag of the Republika Srpska Kosova, a Serbian breakaway state in Kosovo.
Flag for a timeline I am working on. Basically Lukashenko is narrowly beat by a radical nationalist candidate in the 1994 Belarusian election. Belarus than gets turned into a totalitarian state and becomes a massive headache for Europe as they clash with bordering countries.
The base design is the flag of the Belarusian Democratic Republic. The white circle with the orthodox cross in the middle represents faith being the center of all governmental and civil functions. I added the black in so it would vaguely call back to the Third Reich, who were obviously anti-Soviet.
A republic of China inspired flag for a Zapodslavia in a world I'm working on.
