Qatar's flag is the only national flag having a width more than twice its height, based on its official height-to-width ratio of 11:28. The maroon flag with a broad white nine-pointed serrated stripe on the hoist side was adopted on 9 July 1971, just before Qatar gained independence from Britain on 3 September 1971.
The most common aspect ratios in official flags are 2:3 and 1:2.
