African nation whose flag was based on that of the USA (7)

I believe the answer is:

liberia

(Other definitions for liberia that I've seen before include "African country, established by the US in 1822" , "W. African nation" , "West African country founded for freed slaves" , "Monrovia's country" , "NW African Republic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
