In which country is it the year 2018? Explained

Ethiopia utilizes a distinct calendar derived from the ancient Coptic tradition, deviating from the globally recognized Gregorian calendar. In the Ethiopian system, there are 13 months, comprising 12 months with 30 days each and an additional shorter month spanning 5 or 6 days, contingent on whether it’s a leap year. The Ethiopian calendar lags approximately seven to eight years behind the Gregorian calendar. Thus, while much of the world acknowledges the year 2025, Ethiopia has transitioned into 2018. The Ethiopian New Year commenced on September 11, 2025, according to the Gregorian calendar, signifying the onset of 2018 in Ethiopia.
