Which country has a national flag that is not rectangular?

Nepal is the only country in the world with a national flag that is neither rectangular nor square. The flag of Nepal consists of two overlapping triangular pennants, giving it a distinctive shape unlike the flags of other sovereign nations. The upper triangle features the moon, while the lower triangle contains the sun, both traditionally representing permanence and longevity. The flag has a deep crimson-red background with blue borders, and its design is based on traditional Nepalese symbols. Nepal adopted its current flag in 1962, following the introduction of a new constitutional system. Its unusual double-pennant design makes it one of the most recognizable national flags in the world.
