History

Heraldry and vexillology
The arms and heraldry of the PSB follows a rather traditional socialist design. It features a red shield in the center that has a Xeroist star (a symbol featured on the USSE flag) with two crossed cyan Shashkas, the national weapon of the USSE, in the foreground. Above the two symbols is 'ONMZON' which is an acronym for 'Oto Nan Má Zi Oto Nok' which translates to 'Our Party Will Make Us Free' in Lo'Oi. The phrase is the name of the USSE's national anthem and is also a common patriotic slogan.

Around the shield is two bundles of wheat wrapped in red ribbons, at the center of this ribbon is written 'PSB' which stands for the People's Security Bureau.The PSB arms can also be placed onto a flag which is typically organized into a tricolor. Cyan and red are both used to represent their meaning on the USSE flag. The black color in the center is meant to represent darkness, with the PSB arms being used to represent light in the face of darkness.
