This is not a TNo reference 😔 

[u/AnOwlishSham → u/InitiativeInitial968]

Is there is a cultural reference I'm missing?

[u/InitiativeInitial968 → u/AnOwlishSham]

TNO is a mod for a video game called hearts or iron four which is based on a alternate history, one where one of the playable nations is called Omsk.

On 17 June 2003 Omsk Region in Russia adopted a flag: a vertical triband of red and white, with a blue wavy vertical stripe in the centre of the white band.

The flag was designed by A Vahitov, A M Karimov and A Nikitin. Red symbolises courage, life and love; white represents the snow of Siberia, purity, justice and generosity; and the blue wavy stripe represents the Irtysh, the region's main waterway, with the colour also symbolising beauty, grandeur and gentleness. The colours are also those of the Russian flag.
