| | In some countries, such as the United States of America and France, the national ensign is identical to the national flag, while in others, such as the United Kingdom and Japan, there are specific ensigns for maritime use. | | | In both the United States and United Kingdom, the national flag is used for all three purposes. | | | In most case, the civil flag is a simplified version of the state flag, the difference often being the presence of a coat of arms on the state flag which is absent from the civil flag. |
