If we count correctly, Germany has only one national holiday. All other holidays are either state holidays, or (in the case of Peace Day, which only exist in the town of Augsburg), city holidays. Because Germany's constitution attributes cultural affairs to the federal states, each state has its own laws concerning holidays, and they thus differ from state to state.
yep, lots of places are very old in europe and asia the question if ones define "city" by continuous habitation or government or... same goes for Matera in italy.

Don’t take my word for it do your own research but this is just what I think it’s like.
Hey Drew. I know this may sound weird but all those people who play Politics and War, a game you played in a video in 2020, really want you to come back to the game. Your presence made the number of nations playing skyrocket and I actually started playing after watching your video. Just a humble ask but all of us would really appreciate it if you made another one.
Tbh games like Politics an War and Nation States get boring quickly as the game turns into a message board/social media where the fun stuff lies within a reserved few within the community where you have to be always active...I think Drew shares that same sentiment. It's not really a game you can just pick up and have a few hours of fun like in say pdx gsg's...idk I guess that's just me???
@@hawx00145 I guess you're right. However, I do think that it's a game that is always a fun experience for me and I think that the game prob fits Drew's audience. I wouldn't be going around suggesting PW to a Minecraft TH-cam.
yup, here in Sri Lanka we have a holiday every month + all the special occasions like new years and Christmas. We actually have 2 new year one on January 1st and the traditional Sinhala and Tamil new year in April where you get a couple of days holiday. Since early 2022 our government got the new habit of randomly making Monday a holiday at least once every two month. So actually we might have more than 25 this year.

When I was in highschool classes were from 7:30-2:30, and I had about 5-6 hours of home work most nights about 60% of which was spent on math. It was also not uncommon for me to stay until as late as 6pm to work with teachers on classes I was struggling with.
