How the map counts a day
All 49 countries on the map rest on Saturday and Sunday.
Each country is on its own date: today there, by the clock in its capital. A day picked on the strip shows that date in every country.
Every country takes the colour its own calendar gives the day: at work, on its weekend or on a public holiday. A public holiday on a weekend day takes the holiday's colour, as in the country's calendar. Days off for one group only, such as civil servants, and shortened working days are working days on the map. So is a Saturday or Sunday officially made a working day.
In 2026 the holiday colour appears somewhere on 169 of the 365 days, and on 1 January in 49 countries, more than on any other. On the other 196 days no country has a public holiday on a working day.
A country too small to draw at this scale is a dot.
