I think it will largely depend on the size of the pole

If you're making a US or Israeli flag, make sure it's flammable material as well

It'll be what is known as 'golden section'..... so the long edge is 1.618 times the length of the short edge.

Same as credit cards and other such things. It's a number that occurs in nature alot and produces proportioned shapes that 'look right' to the eye 😀

There's no set dimensions at all. It really doesn't matter.

I belive many countries' flags are based on these proportions. A mate of mine, who's studied occultism and other weird stuff, says that it's used in Masonic things. Apparently, using the ratio in buildings, art, design, etc; will gain you recognition from other 'believers'.

I dunno. Could all be bollocks.
