What makes the Switzerland calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Switzerland signature lives in the other dates: Bundesfeier (Swiss National Day, 1 de agosto), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Bundesfeier (1 de agosto) to Weihnachten (25 de diciembre): 146 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 4 nationwide holidays and Bundesfeier will fall on a domingo (1 de agosto).
