The serial is about a future Earth where oceans have been colonized and divided among a number of different and somewhat independent states. The "somewhat" there is due to the existence of the UEO, the United Earth Oceans, a post-UN type of organization, a mix of global police force and global government. The Seaquest itself is a submarine, belonging to the UEO, extremely high-tech and nearly unbeatable.
Flags are a common sight in the show (since
political meanders between the various entities take a good part of the
action), being the flag of the UEO the commonest of them all.

Unfortunetely, The flag of the UEO is typical UN: a complex symbol in the center of a plain
blue background. And I've never got to get hold of a good representation of
that symbol.

Anything to do with the white on blue *Seaquest* logo
here?

Not as far as I can remember, no. IIRC (it's been a while), that was simply
the symbol of the submarine itself, and (quite believably) all the flags of
nations and/or organizations had their own symbols. In any case, take this with a grain of salt. As I wrote, it's been a while.

No, it was a circular logo featurinng a golden trident.

It's the flag of the "Montagnard Confederation", a state of
south-east Asia. It's hard to know exactly where it lies, since no maps are
given, but the physical type of the leaders and the flag itself make good
hints. It's in Indochina, probably occupying the whole or parts of Vietnam
and of maybe nearby states as well.The flag is yellow with 4 horizontal red stripes along the central third of the flag and a black star superimposed on the stripes, also in the center. Pretty good vex object, if I might add...

It sure reminds me of the old south-vietnamese flag
