Not even the government can get the flag right.

  1. Well, it’s not like the government is known for getting things right. Especially not the part of the government that we can see in the picture.

  2. Sorry to break it to you all wannabe pedants, but you’re all wrong.

    Let me, an expert in pedantry, educate you all: the shape of the swiss *flag* is a 1:1 square alright, but the shapes of the *civil* and *state ensigns* of Switzerland are both 2:3 rectangles.

    The president of the Confederation is clearly celebrating the long and respectable Swiss nautical tradition.
