According to that link, more countries use MDY in some capacity than I thought. Magenta, Red, Dark Blue, and Grey on the map are all listed as using it in the table below.
The format dd.mm.yyyy using dots (which denote ordinal numbering) is the traditional German date format. Since 1996-05-01, the international format yyyy-mm-dd has become the official standard date format, but the handwritten form d. mmmm yyyy is also accepted (see DIN 5008). Standardisation applies to all applications in the scope of the standard including uses in government, education, engineering and sciences. Since 2006, the old format (d)d.(m)m.(yy)yy is allowed again as alternative to the yyyy-mm-dd format in areas where there is no risk of ambiguation.
I have never seen yyyy-mm-dd in the wild except maybe as a filename conversation for practical reasons (you can sort them more easily). All official documents use (d)d.(m)m.(yy)yy

I’m not even talking about the date format, I’m talking about the date.
What about the date?
Germany uses DMY exclusively. Why is it green instead of cyan?

In Canada we use all three formats and have invented even more. Fucking hell.
You alright there Canada? Did they hurt you?
Canada can never decide if they want to be Americans or British.
Canada is the kid that requests anchovy topping at the pizza party
