So the Islamic calendar usage is not necessarily the only official way. Most of us do use the Gregorian calendar side by side.
We do have government holidays lining up with the Islamic calendar, but it would be inaccurate to say we don’t use Gregorian calendar at all
In Syria, we use both for datekeeping.

>The Ethiopian calendar has twelve months, all thirty days long, and five or six [left over days], which form a thirteenth month.

Note: The Gregorian Calendar is still the primary calendar we use in India, Nepal and obviously China. These are very cultural calendars and used only for festival dates. I presume the same with Japan and ROC. Same with most of the Islamic World from what I know

This map keeps being posted and is still wrong about China. Also a stretch to call either calendar system started 115 years ago traditional, AFAIK they are specifically to replace traditional calendar system.
