A landlocked country the size of Arkansas, lying between India and the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, Nepal contains Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. Along with its southern border, Nepal has a strip of level land that is partly forested, partly cultivated.
The most prominent geographical aspect of the country is its mountain regions in the northern part including the eight highest peaks in the world, Mount Everest which is 20,000 feet above sea level and comprises of 240 peaks.
In Dec. 2007, Parliament voted to abolish the monarchy and become a federal democratic republic. The transition to a republic was completed in May 2008, when the Constituent Assembly voted to dissolve the monarchy. The current Nepalese flag was adopted on December 12, 1962. The individual flags that make up the national flag had been used during the past two centuries and the double flag has been in use since the 19th century.
The flag of Nepal consists of a crimson/red base that is outlined in blue. The top triangle of Nepal's flag has a white emblem of the moon and the bottom triangle has a white emblem of the sun.
The color of the flag is crimson red similar to the color of the national flower, the rhododendron. Red also stands for conquest in war. The blue in the borders stands for peace. The upper part has a star and crescent moon combined while at its lower portion is a symbol of the sun.
The present flag, which omits those features, was established under the new constitution of December 16, 1962. The same symbols appear on the dozens of different civil and military flags used by Nepalese officials. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Nepal Flag for the future.
