This is not a good example. The Game Over screen is outside the normal context of the narrative and should be taken as symbolism. The White House is the President's seat of power and is a landmark identifying the USA. The flag behind it represents control of that seat of power. Ergo, the changing flag represents that, due to Pepper's failure, the USA's seat of power has changed hands.
Deleted line(s) 29 (click to see context) :
* InSpiteOfANail: The GameOver screen has the White House have its American flag morph into a British one, signifying that the colonists lost. As the White House was built ''after'' the Revolutionary War after the colonists won, shouldn't it have disappeared ''entirely''?
