National Flag

National flags dated back to several centuries in the past, used for many purposes from waging wars as a tool to show the military strength of a country or an ethnic/tribal group to more modern alliances of states. National flags are flown to depict the presence and presence of government that exist in that particular area. In early ages, flags were only used in war times by militaries, as of now,national flag is often raised by citizens of states and government to indicate the respect and valor of the nation and to differentiate between countries and their political stance.

National Flags of All Countries

The modern-day flags raised by the governments date back to 16th century when the states of Ireland, Scotland, and England along with other countries merged to a single territory called the United Kingdom under a national flag called Union Jack. In late 18th century, US Flag was raised to mark the territorial presence and government after the American Revolution followed by French and Portuguese national flags.

Most of the legitimated states and countries often use two types of national flags: the one used on land, three categories at sea. Apart from the single national flag that represents governmental hold on territory, there are several civil and military flags that are used by every country. A great protocol is provided to any country’s national flag and disrespecting it is a serious crime according to any state law. The national flags are hoisted early in the morning every day in State buildings and schools and lowered at sunset. Basically, most of the national flags are rectangular in shape and are hoisted horizontally except few of them raised vertically.

National flag designing is a specialized practice known as vexillology; it includes designing and making a flag. All of the national flags are rectangular in shape and size except the flag of Nepal that has 5 corners. The flag of Switzerland and the Vatican City, the holy land for Christians and their religious center in Rome, Italy has its own flag and is square. The uniqueness of all national flags is that they all have at least two colors in them.
