These 3 Countries Have Non-Rectangular Flags And These Are Their Meanings

If you ever look at a lot of flags from different countries, you might have noticed that majority of them would have a rectangular shape of flags. 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.

The 3 countries that come with a non-rectangular shape of flags would be none other than Nepal, Switzerland, and also the Vatican City. In the world, the only non-quadrilateral flag would be the official flag of Nepal. Next, the only square-shaped flag is the flag of Switzerland while the flag with two square-shaped designs is the Vatican City flag.
