Little did many people in this whole wide world know, there are actually certain countries that have a non-rectangular shape of flags. Interestingly, those countries did not just decide on those types of shapes out of fun but the shapes indeed bring their own meanings. For those who might not know, these are the 3 countries.

Next, the only square-shaped flag is the flag of Switzerland while the flag with two square-shaped designs is the Vatican City flag.
