It is one of only two square sovereign-stateflags, the other being the flag of Vatican City. (The civil and state ensign, used by Swiss ships and boats, has the morecommon proportions of 3:2.)Only the dimensions of the cross are formally established since 1889:"The coat of arms of the federation is, within a red field, an uprightwhite cross, whose [four] arms of equal length are one and a sixth times aslong as they are wide." The size of the cross in relation to the field isnot formally established except on the naval ensign, for which the ratio of thesize of the cross to the height is 5:8, and to the length is 5:12. A ratio of2:3 or 7:10 to the span of the flag is usual.Use of the white cross as a military ensign (attached to the cantonal flagsin the form of strips of linen) has been used in the Old Swiss Confederacysince the 14th century, but the modern design of a white cross suspended in asquare red field was introduced only during the Napoleonic period, first usedin 1800 during the Hundred Days by general Niklaus Franz von Bachmann, and wasintroduced as official national flag in 1889.
