	Civil ensign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beside the naval ensign the civil ensign is one of the two original types of the national flag.
		Well-known examples are the Italian civil ensign showing the shield with the arms of the sea republics or the Polish civil ensign with the arms of Poland.
		The simpler one is used as civil ensign (and in most cases also as civil flag), whereas the version with the arms is mainly used by the government and the military.
