Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

    (This doesn't consider the separator) Cyan - DD/MM/YY Magenta - MM/DD/YY Yellow - YY/MM/DD The other ones are mixes of those two colors, so e.g. the US is MM/DD/YY and YY/MM/DD (apparently).

    Also just noticed I didn't attribute this picture, I'll edit my comment.

    Canada threw up their hands and said, "Fuck it, I don't care, use whatever date format you like."

    We are ridiculously inconsistent in Canada. I've seen all 3 of the most popular formats here (2023-11-22, 11/22/2023, and 22/11/2023) in similarish amounts. Government forms seem to be increasingly using RFC 3339 dates, but even they aren't entirely onboard.

    Lithuania is one of the Baltic States, conveniently squished between Russia & Belarus to the east and the sea to the west. Across that sea is Sweden. You'll usually see three countries be the parts of this set. Lithuania is the southernmost of these three.
