Flags
Flags are pieces of material in distinctive shapes and patterns, often
flown from a pole. They have many uses, most prominently in representing
the unity of a country. Of course, countries don’t have a monopoly on the
use of flags; many other entities sport them. Cities, states, companies,
colleges, sports teams, military units, ships, and more use flags as symbols
to help identify themselves or unify their followers.
Flags are often tricolor, like that of the United States, which is red, white,
and blue. Some are bicolor, like that of most of the countries in Scandinavia.
These countries followed the example of the oldest national flag currently in
use, that of Denmark. Denmark’s flag features a large white cross on a red
background. Sweden’s, for example, is a yellow cross on a blue background.
Only one country has a flag that is monochrome, a single color: Libya’s is a
uniform green.
National flags are almost always rectangular in shape. Two flags, those
of Switzerland and Vatican City, are square. The only exception is the flag of
Nepal, which is a double pennant, which looks like two stacked triangles.
Some countries and territories, such as Cyprus, Christmas Island, and
Kosovo, have flags whose images include the shape of the country itself.
Often in the United States, several flags are flown together in groups.
Our national flag is always given precedence and is flown or carried above
all others. The same holds true for the display of most other national flags.
