3:5 representation of the Belgian Flag - Image by António Martins-Tuválkin, 22 November 2025

On the cover of Världens huvudstäder [s9e36], available online at imgur.com/a/LazhS8s, the 7th flag of the top row on the front cover of [s9e36] shows the national flag of Belgium in 3:5 ratio — and this source, as said, shows different ratios for each flag, not all shoehorned to the same ratio.
This variation is not at all unique to this source, I’m sure, likely influenced by nearby flags: Germany’s official ratio, yes, and also other horizontal tribands with their own different official ratios but easy to be misdrawn in a 3×5 grid. It is not, however, one of the several possibilities listed.
