    Nepali flag real info :
    The red in the flag stands for the boiling blood of the nepali people and the blue border represents the peace in the country even though we become angry at times it has nothing to do with ranas they exploited nepal and we drew them out of the throne the whole flag means that we are angry but also bounded by peace the sun and moon in flag say that NEPAL will be in the world until and unlessthe sun and the moon wither away

    Squares are rectangles too, however rectangles with all 4 sides having the same length. So it is a subspecies of rectangles.

      Congrats you're both right. That general style of an isosceles triangle for the flags shape is called a pennant. But the cut into the end is referred to as a swallowtail.

    Haha! It's not a square doesn't mean weirdly shaped. It's just a unique and mathematical flag which carries the meaning of oldest civilization till date. And talking about Engineering, Nepal's flag is the most mathmetical flag in the world.
    Talking about the Moon and Sun, there are various reasons but the reason you are mentioning is not the ruling dynasties of any particular Shah or Ranas.
    Sun means the Suryabansi lineage and Moon is the Chandrabansi lineage which are the ancestors of all Nepalese.
    That is the reason, it used to had had faces earlier.
    Also, it represents, as red as the blood, as high as the sky, as bright as the sun, as calm as the moon.
    Also, the Sun represents the Lord Buddha, the moon represents Lord Rama which was the avataras of Vishnu.
    And according to our myths, Lord Vishnu has handed over this flag to the First King of the World.

      @@guidojansen6720 You are correct. We are speaking English, however. In common (non-academic) speech in native English speaking countries (US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand) the word rectangle in common language does not include squares. The "(noticeably) different length perpendicular sides" is inherent to the word. This may not be true in non-English languages, or even in English-as-a-lingua-franca regions like Nigeria, South Africa, India, or Fiji. I'm sorry for those of you in those regions. I am not trying to denigrate your cultures or even use of English, but my definition stands for countries where English is the ubiquitous first language.

    Sadly, the official flag of the region of Veneto _(Regione Veneto)_ is not the one you posted on your video, but a rectangular one that resembles it, with the stripes fused to each other, also adding some colors to the lion picture. BUT, the one you posted is so famous (it was the flag, or better, the _Gonfalone_ of the _Republica Veneta_ (Serene Republic of Venice).

  • @antigravity6

    Nepal 's modern day constitution has described its flag to make it look friendly and peace loving nation. The actual reason why The color of the flag is red is because of the color of our blood.
    REASON FROM HISTORY: Nepal was formed 300 years ago as a single nation after hundreds of bloody battles which Gorkha King started to unify small states.
    The flag they carried had a moon and the Sun but it was always on a plain cotton cloth which was naturally white in color.
    After each battle ended, the flag would turn reddish with the wounded soldier's blood. Thats why todays flag is red.
    And the edge of the flag is blue because of the blood too. When you hold a piece of cloth soaked in human blood and let it dry in the Sun light, the bottom edge will look blueish because of the higher content of iron in our blood. Nepalese soldiers saw the similar pattern in colors in every battle they fought and thats why the flag has a blue edge

    Concerning Vatican City, my information are different (or an integration)..:
    - The yellow means Gold
    - The white means Silver
    The Papal authority was recognized as the most prestigious at the time and so it was the only one to use the both precious metals in the flag. Furthermore the origin of the White-Yellow flag is much older then 1808 and used to represent the papal authority. Instead the Yellow-Red flag is the flag of Roman Empire and of the city itself even today and not of its elder pope/king.
    But on the other side even the Borbonoise French used the same colors.
