Flag Ratios, Proportions and Sizes
In Spain most flags follow the traditional 2:3 ratio of the national flag. Exceptions are to be found with the Madrid Community which has a 7:11 flag, Castile and Leon a 76:99 flag, Castile-La Mancha a 1:2 flag and the Basque Country a 14:25 flag. Madrid City has both 2:3 and 3:5 official versions of the flag.
Ensigns are 2:3. Rank flags as well as the king's and prince's standards are 1:1. Military Colours, cavalry and armoured units' guidons are 1:1.
