How to use it
Pick two flagpoles and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Jeddah against Kiev to see the near double gap. The bars below scale to Jeddah so Kiev looks short. Switch the unit to feet for US figures. Ratios are exact divisions of the pole heights.
Amman at 127 ranks above Rabat at 115 despite draft table quirks. Pole steel counts without cloth. Building mounted masts stay out since freestanding poles rank here. Figures follow city specs. Storm rebuilds shorten poles by meters, so totals follow current specs. Jeddah cloth at 49 by 33 m needs a full crew to raise and lower safely.
