Most Unique National Flags in the World

NATIONAL FLAGS are the national symbols and identities of countries.

In my research and from my point of view, there are only 3 national flags that are uniquely designed. 

But before that, let me unfold TRIVIA about NATIONAL FLAGS: 
 - 75% of the NATIONAL FLAGS in the WORLD have RED COLOR,
- 70% have WHITE COLOR, and 
- 50% have BLUE COLOR. 

The following NATIONAL FLAGS have unique characteristics. 


1. PHILIPPINES

The ONLY NATIONAL FLAG that is being displayed differently during PEACETIME and WARTIME.

The BLUE color represents PEACE and JUSTICE. The RED symbolizes COURAGE. The WHITE EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE represents EQUALITY. The SUN RAYS represent the first 8 provinces that sought independence from SPAIN. The 3 stars represent the 3 MAJOR GEOGRAPHICAL DIVISIONS OF THE COUNTRY, LUZON, VISAYAS and MINDANAO.

RED and BLUE are national CAMBODIAN colors.

3. NEPAL

The ONLY NATIONAL FLAG in the WORLD that is not RECTANGULAR or SQUARE.

The 2 overlapping right triangles represent HINDUISM and BUDDHISM. RED represent RHODODENDRON, Nepal's national flower and is a sign of VICTORY and BRAVERY. The BLUE border signifies PEACE and HARMONY. The MOON represents the SERENITY and the SHADE COOL WEATHER in the HIMALAYAS, and the SUN depicts the HEAT of the lower portion of the country.
