The official width-to-height ratio of Norway’s national flag is 22:16.
Norway’s construction is often written as 16:22 because official descriptions commonly list height before length. Reversing that order to match this question’s width-to-height wording gives 22:16, which is equivalent to the simplified ratio 11:8.
The flag is a red Scandinavian cross outlined in white, with a dark-blue cross inside it. Its cross design connects Norway to the Nordic flag tradition, while the off-center vertical bar follows the pattern established by Denmark’s Dannebrog.
A frequent mix-up concerns the state flag used by government and military vessels. The national flag has a 16:22 height-to-length specification, while the state flag uses 16:27. The colored sections also follow precise construction ratios rather than being placed by eye.
