Iran and Yemen rest on Thursday and Friday, Afghanistan and Somalia on Friday alone, Brunei on Friday and Sunday, and North Korea on Sunday alone. The other 186 rest on Saturday and Sunday. On an ordinary Friday, 21 countries are on their weekend.
Which countries work on Sunday?
Sunday is an ordinary working day in 20 countries: the 16 with a Friday-Saturday weekend, Iran and Yemen, and Afghanistan and Somalia.
Where Sunday is a day off, it can still be made a working day. In 2026 China works on 4 January and 20 September, and Myanmar on 22 February.
How the map counts a day
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 349 of the 365 days, and on 1 January in 191 countries, more than on any other. On the other 16 days no country has a public holiday on a working day.
A country too small to draw at this scale is a dot.
