Description of the flag

According to http://springtimeofnations.blogspot.fr/2015/09/fiji-junta-rounds-up-islamophobes-bent.html, "over 50 people were arrested in Viti Levu’s Ra province, on the northeast coast, on suspicion of connection with a training camp allegedly run by a former British military officer. Authorities said the camp was training forces to help establish two separate “Christian states” declared late last year. The Nadroga-Navosa Sovereign Christian State, on the southwestern end of the island, in Nadroga-Navosa province, and the Ra Sovereign Christian State, in Ra, were declared in October and November 2014, reportedly with the approval and participation of some (supporters say all) local traditional chiefs. Five people were arrested and charged with sedition at the time in connection with those declarations. The presidents ceremonially installed for the two would-be states—Nadroga-Navosa’s Ratu Osea Turaga Gavidi and Ra’s Ratu Meli Bolobolo—have since died."
Each of the 2 rebel Christian states had a flag of the same pattern (sky blue with a red christian cross at the hoist and a brown map of the claimed territory on a sun at the fly). A collective flag of the Christian states was also in use, with in the fly what looks like adaptation of the coat of arms of Fiji with the same sun above.

Above is the collective flag used by both Ra and Nadroga-Navosa Sovereign Christian States.
