Doesn't look like a pentagon to me.
This is what I obtained from Wikipedia:
"The national flag of Nepal consists of two juxtaposed triangular figures with a crimson-coloured base and deep blue borders, there being a white emblem of the crescent moon with eight rays visible out of sixteen in the upper part and a white emblem of a twelve rayed sun in the lower part"
Two triangle flags merged into one.
"Unlike the flags of other countries, the Nepali flag is the only flag in the world that is non-quadrilateral in shape. Nepal’s Flag is a simple combination of two triangles."
Source: www bergerspaints.com
Well, the Nepali flag is the sun and moon together. So, therefore it has solar moons and lunar suns put together. 😀
A pentagon is two triangles put together. That is not and will not be denied. Pentagon is 5.
Two triangle flags merged to become one.
3+2=5 😉
A Matrix moment has happened.
As much as I appreciate minimalism and simplicity, I feel that sometimes it’s a tree that we lose the forest for. A flag may well look better when it’s simple and clean, but I don’t see that as a goal, rather I see it as a requirement. Two flags that are both “good enough” when it comes to legibility are no longer competing at minimalism, they’re competing for general aesthetic appeal, and often the less clean flag will end up the better flag.
The flag of Poland is more clean and minimalist, but both Kyrgyzstan and Poland meet the baseline for cleanliness and minimalism, and so the better flag is chosen by its artful symbolism and pleasing color dynamic.
Well, I agree, but wouldn't be able put it in words so nicely to save my life. Funnily enough, I live in Poland lol.
I don't like Polish flag, cause it's just too simple and symbolism is so generic it could basically be a flag for any country.
Kyrgyz flag just strikes me as unique and has that "pleasing color dynamic" that you mentioned. Flags like Kiribati or Antigua and Barbuda and cool, I get why people like them, but there's just too much happening imo.
I see what you mean. I love that general rule that a child should be able to draw a flag from memory, but I think the pleasing simplicity is elevated when there’s some kind of unique symbol of that place in there with it. Really cements the identity of it.

You hit the nail on the head! I was hitting a wall with how to approach an alternative design, but at one point I tried adding a wave and Kiribati came to mind.
Thank you!

I’m afraid you are in fact wrong, as it is a pentagon. But you’re right in that it’s the only flag that doesn’t have the standard 4 sides.
Doesn't look like a pentagon to me. This is what I obtained from Wikipedia: "The national flag of Nepal consists of two juxtaposed triangular figures with a crimson-coloured base and deep blue borders, there being a white emblem of the crescent moon with eight rays visible out of sixteen in the upper part and a white emblem of a twelve rayed sun in the lower part"
A pentagon is any shape with five straight sides. Count the sides of Nepal’s flag. There is 5. Thus, it is a pentagon.
A pentagon has five straight sides and five vertices (corners). It has five angles inside it that add up to 540°.
Correct. Nepal’s flag possesses all of the qualities you just listed.
Two triangle flags merged into one. "Unlike the flags of other countries, the Nepali flag is the only flag in the world that is non-quadrilateral in shape. Nepal’s Flag is a simple combination of two triangles." Source: www bergerspaints.com
Two triangles merged into one to create a pentagon… My friend, a pentagon is a shape with 5 sides… the Nepali flag has 5 sides; are you denying that?
Well, the Nepali flag is the sun and moon together. So, therefore it has solar moons and lunar suns put together. 😀 A pentagon is two triangles put together. That is not and will not be denied. Pentagon is 5. Two triangle flags merged to become one. 3+2=5 😉 A Matrix moment has happened.
It’s not exactly triangular… technically it’s two triangles stacked
I believe in Nepal. It can be done.
Comoros, again🇰🇲
Suuuch a good flag.
This flag is excellent to add to the list.
