They even got their own currency. It's almost too perfect, but I guess the series was supposed to reveal how all this happened so well if it wasn't cancelled again.,

You raise good points, here is my response (in white):

Remember that John Smith explains Jennings & Rawl had been planning this operation for many, many years - the document which Hawkins obtains is dated for 1994. Presumably, they planned a lot of this stuff during that time - including the flag, the currency, all that.

Also, remember that ACUs (the current U.S. Army uniform, which all of the AS Army soldiers wear) have patches that are designed to be removed quickly from velcro fastenings. That's why, in the last episode, you see them all tear off their AS flag patches so easily. Shouldn't be much trouble to make up a lot of them.
