Repost from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/8qt94a/endianess_of_date_and_address_formats_in_europe/
On the reddit comments some user wrote the address format for Russia is wrong on this map, they use big-endian as well.
Also Hungary is the only country in Europe where we use big endianness in names, aka Eastern name order: surname first, firstname second.
Interesting how Europe has heterogeneity in different states, but somehow the US is all the same
Right? As if somehow US is one single country and Europe is a whole bunch of different countries.
I think this map is a bit stupid for this reason: US states are not direct members of UPU, the whole US is one member, so displaying US state boundaries on the lower map doesn’t make sense.
There are no separate ICU locales for US states as well, all US is simply en_US. And the date format is closely tied to language, not necessarily the country, I guess minoroties use the date formats according to their language, not the official state version.
