Originally created by @nbrummerstedt on GitHub (Jun 30, 2018).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lipis/flag-icons/issues/469

Most countries have standards (or even laws) defining their flag.
I propose creating a new series next to 1:1 and 3:4, which will be strictly following these rules.

For example: The Danish flag is of proportions 28:37, while the US flag is 10:19

I came to know of this repo (flag-icon-css) yesterday, as I'm currently diving deep on the subject of flags. While I really appreciate the great effort put into "normalizing" the flags to some pre-defined aspect ratios, it was a huge downer when it came to my specific need: to have flags as close as possible to their original proportions.

I created https://github.com/dreamyguy/flags today, downloading each and every country flag available on Wikipedia. Maybe someone would like to reuse that to cover this particular need on this repo? 😉

This projects was created to have 1x1 and 4x3 flags only for a particular purpose.. If someone wants the original ones.. there are plenty of sources..
