- Clarify events which happened in the USA.
- Note that the USA has no King.
- Unify spelling "US", not "U.S.".
- Remove USSR holiday (anniversary of the revolution).
- Don't remove claim that the Federal Republic of Germany was founded
in 1953 (22 September). Somebody should clarify if something
reallly did happen on that day.
