The State Flag of the Republic of Belarus

The State Flag of the Republic of Belarus is a rectangular canvas made of two horizontal colored stripes: the upper one is red and the lower one is green. The red one makes up two thirds of the width while the green one is as large as one third of the flag width. The ratio of the width of the State Flag of the Republic of Belarus to its length is 1:2. A vertical red-on-white Belarusian national pattern as large as one ninth of the flag length is located near the flagpole.
