    The map is also just wrong on several countries, like there’s no May Day in Liberia or Sierra Leone, Sudan, Mongolia, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan. And a lot more countries only have partial holidays

      That makes sense, I was wondering where Oman was. Oil state monarchy like the rest of the Gulf states was suspicious for being green

      Kazakhstan has a government holiday on the 1st of May, except they renamed it to “The Day of Unity of Kazakhstan Peoples”. In Russia and Tajikistan it has also been renamed but differently – to “The Day of Spring and Labour”, with the emphasis on spring of course lest the plebs remember what the holiday was supposed to be about. So I wouldn’t even put Russia on this map, personally.
