flag: Switzerland

The Swiss national flag is a unique square shape with a white cross on a red background, unlike most flags which are rectangular.

This flag has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages. The combination of red and white colors is simple yet striking.

The cross on the Swiss flag symbolizes Christianity, and it was officially adopted as the national flag in 1889. It well reflects Switzerland's neutral status and image as a peace-seeking nation.

This flag design is so famous that the 'Red Cross' symbol, with the colors reversed, is used internationally. The design of the Swiss flag has become a byword for quality and precision, proudly used on many Swiss products.
