How it is put together
Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- 3 horizontal bands
The fly edge changes colour going down, the foot does not, and every change is a straight line right across.
What we know about it
The flag was created in 1851, and its proportions went undefined until Supreme Decree No. 27630 of 2004 set them at 7.5 by 11 squares. The state and war flag carries the Bolivian coat of arms in the centre; the civil flag is the three colours alone. The revised Constitution of 2009 lists the Wiphala beside it, flown on the Palacio Quemado and parliament since.

Nearest in the world
Every flag is compared with every other one, off the pictures themselves. Two copies of one picture score 0; these are the closest to this one. How that is measured.
