[edit] Only two?

"one of only two non-rectangular flags in the world", the article read. Ohio. Nepal. The Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Norwegian governments. The Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian navies. The Ryukyu Islands. The flag of the Romanian uprising of 1980. Numerous historical war flags from north Africa and Asia.... I have removed thhe comment from the text.

Thanks for helping with this article; I built this article using information from the Nepal flag and Ohio flag articles. My apologies; IanManka 04:23, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I've added an image of the flag itself; it seems to be an appropriate illustration of the content. Ziggurat 02:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Just to update the information supplied by Grutness, the use of "swallow-tailed" flags in the Nordic Countries applies to the following flags: State Flag / Naval Ensign in both Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. The flags of Denmark and Iceland use two "tails"; Sweden, Norway and Finland use three. A number of official flags in all countries use the same form as well since they are basically modified versions of the local State flag. This applies e.g. to a large number of flags in Denmark, most notably the standards used by the royal family and by leading naval officers. The civil flags are square in all five countries.

Btw, Danes also use rows of swallow-tailed paper flags for birthday party decorations and for decorating Christmas trees. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 11:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
