In the US that's weird because the mandatory days off per year are 0. A good amount for most people in the US is 10 days per year (or two weeks). I get 4 weeks which is pretty great but many of the people I work with end up not taking all of those days or taking days and also working on them due to culture. It's ridiculous.

Only if you assume that a nation-wide law is the only condition under which non-zero vacation days will emerge.


Most people get some time off but a significant amount of people still get no time off and work on holidays.


I think the US is the only country with a 0.


5 days is pretty common actually (the week between Christmas and New Years).
