Flag aspect ratios are one of my favorite trivia topics! *The flags of Monaco and Indonesia differ only in aspect ratio. *Two countries have square flags (Vatican City and Switzerland). *The non-square flag closest to a square is Belgium (15 to 13). *The only flag to be narrower than a square is the (non-rectangular) flag of Nepal. *The widest flag is the flag of Qatar (28 to 11). *The most common aspect ratios are 3 to 2, 2 to 1, and 5 to 3. *The most complicated rational aspect ratio is 335 to 189, used by El Salvador. *Three flags have irrational aspect ratio Togo (the golden ratio 1.618034 to 1), Nepal (around 0.820338 to 1), and Iran (around 1.747703 to 1). *Iran officially provides an alternative "simplified" construction of the flag resulting in an aspect ratio of 7 to 4, or 1.75 to 1.

@ck7802 2 роки тому
I like how the main take away in the comments is that Grey was able to very skillfully avoid angering people through word choices. Meanwhile I'm over here wondering about the tidbit about flag ratios and thinking "I wonder if anyone has a world flag diagram with proper to scale representations of each nations flag?". I have this sidetrack thought as a result of this video. Just don't have the drive to look up the answer. there are probably thousands of things like this traversing the neurons in my brain, never to be resolved. Keep making these videos, you may solve long standing brain itches that laziness prevents the viewers from scratching.

Since flags are typically horizontal in nature, CGP's measurements are indeed the correct ones of width, then height. Same for the aspect ratios of screens, but not for, say, piping.

I have a personal gripe with the way we treat European powers as somehow uniquely colonial, when in truth the only thing special about Europe is that it got super lucky with geography and therefore had a head-start on everyone else. Consider what Japan did at the first sign of having significant power. I also think there's a problem with claiming colonisation as evil, when surely it's the war and bloodshed that's the problem rather than human migration (the former being performed by a government, and the latter by individuals).
