Civil flag
Template:Short description Template:Refimprove A civil flag is a version of a flag, usually a national flag that is flown by civilians on non-governmental installations or craft. The use of civil flags was more common in the past to denote buildings or ships not crewed by the military.[1]
In some countries, the civil flag is the same as the state flag but without the coat of arms or national emblem,[1] such as in the case of the flags of Peru[2] or Serbia.[3] In others, it is an alteration of the war flag.
In Scandinavia, state and war flags can be double and triple-tailed variants of the Nordic cross flag. Many countries, particularly those with a British heritage, still have distinctive civil flags (technically civil ensigns) for use at sea, many based on the Red Ensign.
