This is the largest single category in LEEP Calendar. The United States of America is the default nation in the calendar. If you do not see an ISO two-letter code in the event title, it is a US event.

The United States’ two-letter ISO code (US) only appears if a state or territory is involved or if more than one country observes the event.

Example: Agriculture Week, Ntl., (US/CA/UK/AU): August 14-20

If the event is specific to a state, it will include one of the two-letter ISO designations for states.
