  4. Canada Picture 1 - Canadian flag. The current Canadian flag has been used since 1965. It is red and white with a maple leaf in the centre. The aspect ratio of the flag is 1:2. The Canadian flag is one of the best-known flags in the world, mainly because Canadian ice-hockey players are one of the best in the world. Because of the flag, Canada is also nicknamed The Maple Leaf Country. Canada, like many other Commonwealth countries, has Queen Elisabeth II. as the formal head, but it is the governor (guvernér) who has the real power.
