Public Holidays by Country - YAML
Public holidays in each country are national days off that reflect the history, culture, religion, and political background of that nation. The number and types of holidays vary significantly by country - Nepal has the most with 35 days annually, while Mexico has relatively few at 8 days. Holidays include universal ones like New Year and Independence Day, religious and cultural observances like Lunar New Year and Eid, and country-specific celebrations like National Foundation Day and royal birthdays. Understanding each country's public holidays is essential for international business and travel planning.
