Quiz question, which country (I believe it's unique) has the only non rectangular or square flag?

Switzerland and Vatican City have square, Nepal has two sort of triangles.

I really like Estonia's flag:

I really don't like England's.

More flags questions:

The only flag with humans in the design?
The only flag with a cow in the design?
The only flag with a gun in the design?
The only flag with a sword in the design?
Which flag has a different design on each side (face) of the flag?

The gun is Mozambique I think it’s an AK47
Is the sword Saudi Arabia?

Brighton. NOT KEMPTOWN!
Most modern flags are boring, I liked the 15th-19th century imperial ones with double head eagles, dragons, fleur de lies etc.

Sexiest flag is the Lion Rampant but I may be a wee bit biased. interesting flag fact on the Saltire (st Andrew’s Cross), the blue background was only standardised about 20yrs ago and is different shade of panatone than the Union Flag

Football Club badges have gone the same way. They used to be quite heraldic, but now, most of them have been simplified to give a "modern" look. Ours is a classic example. The town crests of Brighton and Hove replaced by a seagull, not that I don't like our badge.

UK is not too bad at all - it suits the country well I feel.

The Sri Lanka flag is pretty bloody nice

Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, has a flag that looks like someone was messing about on Microsoft Paint.

That tells me ‘ Don’t f,,uck with us unless you want a spear up your arse ....and we may not be wearing fig leaves’

I had a panatone over Christmas, very tasty it was too.

I'm a bit of a Vexillology fan, particularly of English counties (I'm sad, I know).

I actually think the United Kingdom's flag is ugly; its too busy. Not the ugliest, but the mashing together of Scotland, England and Northern Ireland just doesn't work for me.

Kazakhstan's flag is pretty snazzy though, but Nepal's anti-rectangle approach is something I admire.

The UK is quite restrained in their mash up when compared to The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (1816-1848; 1849-1860)
