It's surprising that a "republic" in the Commonwealth of Nations, Fiji, still have the British insignia.

Flag of Fiji https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Fiji:



Coat of arms of Fiji https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Fiji:



Fiji became a republic from 1987 Fijian coups d'état, but the coup leader, Sitiveni Rabuka, did not change the flag and the coat of arms.

Another coup happened in 2006, the coup leader and the current prime minister, Frank Bainimarama, also have not bother to change their symbols.
