Drawn to the measurements in the law (height 16 : length 22). The law does not give color codes, so we chose the colors in the drawing.
Ranks are among the 193 UN member states, from most people and from largest area.
The flag of Norway is set by the 1898 flag law: a red field with a dark blue cross bordered in white.
The height-to-length ratio is 16 to 22. The two fields nearest the pole are squares. The blue cross is 2/16 of the height wide, and the white border is 1/16.
In 2025 the population is about 5.6 million, the 117th most people of the 193 UN member states. That is about 1/22 of Japan’s (about 123 million).
The area is 323,772 km², the 66th largest of the 193. That is about the same as Japan’s area.
If we work out the number of people per square kilometer (population density), it is about 17.
Norway joined the United Nations on November 27, 1945.
It was a member before Japan joined in 1956.
