Notes
a) The flags of the constituent
parts of the UK – those of England, Scotland and Wales – although subordinate
to the Union Flag are also national flags under the law. Similar situations may,
however, exist in other countries, and the applicable country's laws should be
consulted to determine the status of such flags (see also
‘union jack’).
b) In the sub-divisions
of some countries – such as the Länder of Germany or provinces of Spain – there
are variants of the state or provincial flags for civil and official use - but
see ‘ceremonial flag 1)’,
'state service flag'
and ‘official flag 2)’ (also
‘civil flag’).
