[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (3 children) Wow, really? Is it just country flags? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 6 points 4 months ago (1 child) No, just the national flag. There are some strict rules for flying national flag which are very easy to violate. Some countries don't even allow the national flag to be flown by citizens only the government. The citizens get a different flag for non-official purposes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] RidderSport@feddit.org 1 point 4 months ago AFAIK flying a tiny but long ass flag is normal in Denmark. You are however only allowed to fly a Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or German flag. In Germany it is forbidden to fly a German flag with the state emblem (yellow shield with black eagle) as that is the official German flag and may only be flown by federal goverment entities. Also flying the wrong flag or the right one incorrectly on a boat or ship im Germany can get you fined up to 10k€ permalink fedilink source parent [–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago Only the Indian flag. You can freely fly the flags of states, organisations, or other countries. There are a lot of complicated rules about flying the Indian flag. No one knows all of them, so if you break them (and someone notices), you'll just get asked not to do it again. But when some politician or govt officer accidentally breaks one, it becomes very embarrassing for them. permalink fedilink source parent
