# Some places included aren't independent nations, but have national holidays. Only places with individual holidays were included. Many French possessions 'celebrate' Bastille Day - I left them out. Who decides what is the national holiday will be? who promotes it? Whose idea do you think American Samoa flag day was? Or to have a day celebrating the founding of the Gabonese Democratic Party?
* Some nations have floating holidays: United Kingdom - second Saturday in June Cook Islands - first Monday in August Jamaica - first Monday in August Cayman Islands - first Monday in July Guam - first Monday in March Fiji - second Monday of October
† Celebrated under the Saddam Hussein. The Iraqi Interim Government has yet to declare a new national holiday.
