Good choice, but I still have my slant-pocket summer "Intermediate pattern" stuff from before the final official change over to the current BDUs for our airborne forces- Your Imenseness' "Hammer of Heaven".
These would be worn with spit-shined riding boots, patent leather Sam Browne belts, swords, Ivory handled 1911 .45s, and satin silver M4s with exotic wood with ivory inlays for the forward guards. Bright red berets worn backwards like the Brits wear them.

Those berets will do for the men...

...for the officers, right now I'm picturing a leopard skin Fez, with big gold skull embazened on the front.

Why not?

To: Autarch Murph I, The Mighty lion of the Veldt
From: Golgo-13, Minister of Social Engineering
Re: Sundry Issues
cc: Ministers of Propaganda, Procurement,Homeland Security, and Sustenance; Generals of His Radiance's Air, Land and Sea Forces

My Liege,

The flag issue is, I think, simply resolved.  The flag should depict a steel gray right hand (symbolic of both your strength and political position) clutching an argent spear (symbolic of your swiftness and accuracy in all things) on an azure background (symbolic of the peace and happiness of all those who are blessed to live within Murphwanda).  Though I am no great student of heraldry, remember that we must devise a symbol easily assimilated by bewildered African peasants.
Regarding uniforms, the leopardskin fezzes with gold skull insignia for the officer corp were an outstanding idea.  Might I be so bold as to suggest that, furthermore, each officer be required to wear a minimum of 15 medals and 8 campaign ribbons.  Decorations can be awarded  as needed to bring each officer up to corps standards.  Also, sabers are a nice touch.
Finally, regarding the "problem" illustrated so charmingly in your last communique, I suggest we establish liberal immigration policies for Swedish, Californian, Japanese, and other such women as your other ministers may suggest.  Minister of Propaganda Stealth would, accordingly, be responsible for advertising that would make Murphwanda seem an irresistably attractive destination for such immigrants.
I remain,
Ever Your Humble Servant,

Golgo-13, Minister of Social Engineering

Breadfruit, man! Don't forget about the breadfruit.

Honestly, though. I love all of the savage peoples of Murphwanda just as if they had sprung from my loins.  I'm just concerned about the young lady's lip-plate. It's missing.
We need to provide the people with affordable, well made lip-plates.

FROM THE DESK OF HIMSELF.....

To: Golgo-13, Minister of Social Engineering

Get on top of the LIP-PLATE program.  I think this is right up your alley.

From: Golgo-13, Minister of Social Engineering
To: all district managers

Effective immediately, the 5-year lip plate plan is to be accelerated to a 1-year plan.  Resources are to be steered away from non-essential programs (e.g. literacy programs, any construction not of temples to Autarch Murph I, production of consumer goods) and channeled into maximim production of lip plates.  Any district managers unable to show the required percentage increases in lip plate production (figures to follow)will be remanded to the custody of the Ministry of Pain for remediation in modern industrial theory.  Gentelmen, may I remind you that His Splendiferousness watches us in all things, for it is we who warp the fabric of society to suit his divine whims.  Do not disappoint your Autarch.

I cannot overemphasize the following:

Immigration falls under the Ministry of Social Engineering.  You will have to petition General Golgo-13 for an audience, but I believe you're wasting your time.

I do feel that you're just not right for the job.

You see, Murphwanda is a DICTATORSHIP.
We allow our people to have their spears and their shields, but that's it.  Firearms shall only be possessed by the Military forces and Paramilitaries.
Our savages are our greatest treasure, and I want them to be safe in their charming cultural heritage.

I love our savages with all my heart.
They shall be provided with all that they need to live.
They will be cared for and doted on, as though they were my children.
Free huts and innoculations.
Spears, grass skirts, lip-plates and colorful masks, too.
There is no need for education, for we do not want to interfere with their charming culture.
Medical care will be provided by their "witch doctors".
They needn't be bothered with the complications of "modern" existance, for we do not dare impose our Western Values upon then.
Their's will be a life of peace and plenty.
Like the Eloi.

My only requirement is their loyalty, devotion, and worship.

Notes to self:

1.  Increase peasant barley ration 15% as reward for good progress on pyramid.

2.  Accelerate breadfruit plantation program.

3.  Contact Murphwandan Ambassador to Mexico regarding hold up on delivery of trained Tijuana donkey.  Jane Fonda will be arriving for state reception in two weeks.

4.  Contact Minister of Entertainment about having Alec Baldwin supply entertainment at this year's Xmas orgy.

5. Contact His Hugeness regarding establishment of state-owned brothels.

6. Order mirrors, pen knives, glass beads, magnifying glasses, cigarette lighters for His Immenseness to distribute as largesse.

7.  Have 10 randomly chosen peasants from each village killed.

Locked?
We are doing nothing but good.
We will right the wrongs of our evil colonial ancestors.
We will eliminate from Murphwanda all evidence of Western Culture, and bring these lovely savages back to the primitive paradise that existied before the coming of Western Man.

The only Western Luxuries, weapons and conveniences will be the ones that We, Murphwada's benevolent Dictator and Ministers will require in order to maintain this pristine Nubian Paradise and our own Weak Western Decadence.

Report from His Radiance's General of the Hammer of Heaven and their sundry lesser supporting forces. The future subjects have already breadfuit in bounty!

LOVE the fez idea!!! Medals and awards are being prepared as we speak.

I have made Fire without the benefit of sticks informing the awed natives that this is the Lesser deity Zippo, a gift from His Magnitudinal Eater of Universes Himself. They abased themselves, grovelling appropriately.

I have shipped plates of .25" titanium, for armored lip plates for our cannon fodder, er Shock Troops.

The building of Monuments has commenced, with appropriate pleasure centers among the first for the nubile Nordic women to be housed upon their arrival.

Our abilities are: our glorious leadership skills, and knack for instilling fear in the savages.

2. The savages needs are few.  They need only breadfruit, lip-plates and the love of their Radiant, God-like Dictator.
Their abilities... labor, worship, cower.

As a Communist Dictatorship, we have many models and icons to follow.  We also will have suppliers. Red China is being very helpful.

O Radiance of the Universe, my humble suggestion is that this would bring in entirely too many American liberals and Democrats. While fine as a food source, and as entertainment at Feast to Your Glory, they would just try to raise the ignorant savages to true Communism and the destruction of the Elite Cadre of Heaven.

I must strongly suggest Monarchial Theocratic Dictatorship, sub-Oligarchial. See precedents in Imperial Rome and Old Kingdom Egypt.
