Even More Fun With Charts

Another chapter in my Fun With Charts series.

This one details the number of public holidays a country has per year with Spain at the top with 16 and Romania at the bottom with only 5. To perform an uninformed analysis, there appears to be no connection between the number of public holidays and productivity, considering that both Spain and Romania are not you'd call economic powerhouses. (Quick -- name one product from either country. Vampires and bull-fighting hats don't count). Japan and Germany are third and fourth, with the US at 10.

Where's Canada? We didn't rate, but then neither did Australia, so we can take solace in that. I count 9, but the US has 10 days, so I might off. We have Boxing Day, which they don't, so we should be 11... shouldn't we?
