02 · Proportions

Flag proportions: from square to more than twice as wide

Most flags of the world are wider than they are tall, but there is no common standard. Among the 199 drawings on this page, 88 use a height-to-width ratio of 2:3, 54 use 1:2 and 19 use 3:5; the rest spread over more than twenty other ratios, from 5:8 for Poland to 28:37 for Denmark.

Two national flags are square. The note to the Wikipedia article on the flag of Switzerland names the flag of Vatican City as the only other one, and both appear as squares in the grid.

At the other end, the flag of Qatar has a ratio of 11:28. The Wikipedia article on the flag of Qatar calls it the only national flag whose width is more than twice its height, and links its maroon to a shade standardised in 1936; the nine serrated points stand for Qatar as the ninth reconciled emirate of the 1916 treaty with Britain.

The flag of Nepal breaks the rectangle altogether. According to the Wikipedia article on the flag of Nepal, it is the only national flag that is not a rectangle or square and the only one taller than it is wide: two single pennants joined into one crimson shape with a blue border, at a height-to-width ratio of about 1.219 to 1.

03 · Colours

Colour families shared across borders

Many flags borrow their colours from a shared idea. The Wikipedia article on the Pan-African colours traces green, yellow and red on the flags of many African nations to the flag of Ethiopia, the country that avoided being taken over by a colonial power. Ghana, Senegal, Mali, Cameroon and Guinea all carry the three. A second set, red, black and green, goes back to Marcus Garvey in 1920.

Black, white, green and red are the Pan-Arab colours. They were first combined in 1916 in the flag of the Arab Revolt, according to the Wikipedia article on the Pan-Arab colours, and return in the flags of Jordan, Palestine, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Sudan.

Blue, white and red were defined as the Pan-Slavic colours by the Prague Slavic Congress of 1848, based on the colours of the flag of Russia, says the Wikipedia article on the Pan-Slavic colours. Slovakia, Slovenia, Czechia and Croatia show them; Serbia uses them in reverse order.

Native names of the countries, in their own scripts, are listed next to each flag above; the ISO country codes list gives the same rows without the flags.
