In which country is it the year 2018?
Iran
Nepal
Ethiopia
Thailand
Fact: Ethiopia follows the Ethiopian calendar, which is derived from the ancient Coptic system. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, it has 13 months—12 months of 30 days and one short month of 5 or 6 days. The Ethiopian calendar also lags about 7–8 years behind the Gregorian one, which is why Ethiopia was in 2018 when most of the world observed 2025. Other nations like Iran, Nepal, and Thailand do use traditional calendars alongside the Gregorian system, but only Ethiopia’s remains the official national calendar, creating this striking difference in the year count.
Correct Answer: Ethiopia
