The whole nation takes a holiday for three consecutive days, giving the term National Holiday a different meaning.

Other national and supranational celebrations

Some nations (in the cultural sense) have their own national holidays. Often they have an autonomous status within a larger state. In the case of Ireland, the national holiday is statutory in both an independent state, the Republic of Ireland, plus the semi-autonomous province of Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. In cases in which the nation is represented by a subnational government in a larger state, that government may make the holiday statutory.

1 March: Wales, United Kingdom (see St David's Day)
17 March: Ireland (both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland) (see St Patrick's Day)
23 April: England, United Kingdom (see St George's Day)
9 May: European Union, (see Europe Day)
24 June: Quebec, Canada (Fête nationale du Québec or Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day)
11 July: Flanders, Belgium
11 September: Catalonia (see National Day of Catalonia)
27 September: Wallonia, Belgium
30 November: Scotland, United Kingdom (see St Andrew's Day)

Some subnational entities also commemorate themselves with statutory holidays.
