I know this sounds like a stupid question and it probably is, but a lot of sources show the Swiss flag as square and a lot of them show it as a rectangle. Which shape was the original design and is it an international rule for a flag to be rectangular? Also, what is with the shape of the Nepalese flag? Is that the actual shape or is it on a rectangle?

The Nepalese flag used to be two triangular flags flying above each other. It then merged into one flag.
Also the Swiss flag is square.

The cross is a square, This square can be fitted in a rectangular flag to follow common flag size. If it is used as a symbol then the square form is usually used.

The swiss flag is officially square and the nepal flag is officially that weird shape. There is no rule that says they have to be rectangular.

square - swiss
The national flag of Nepal is the only non-rectangular national flag, and one of only two non-rectangular official jurisdictional flags in the world (the other is the flag of Ohio).

Both! A square is a special kind of rectangle that happens to have four sides of the same length.

I think all flags are rectangular. Sometimes I think in books they draw them as being squares so that they fit the layout of the page better.
Hmmm nope Switzerlands flag is square.

Square, they're quite chilled out the swiss, so I guess they don't bother making a fuss if someone lengthens their flag!!!!!!!!
