You'll like this, then: dates when Gregorian calendar was introduced: Germany:

    Different states on different dates:     Catholic states on various dates in 1583-1585     Prussia: 22 Aug 1610 was followed by 2 Sep 1610     Protestant states: 18 Feb 1700 was followed by 1 Mar 1700     (Many local variations)
My fellow countrymen were even more hard-headed: Zeeland, Brabrant, and the ``Staten Generaal'':

        14 Dec 1582 was followed by 25 Dec 1582 Holland:

        1 Jan 1583 was followed by 12 Jan 1583 Limburg and the southern provinces (currently Belgium):

          20 Dec 1582 was followed by 31 Dec 1582
        or
          21 Dec 1582 was followed by 1 Jan 1583
Groningen:
        10 Feb 1583 was followed by 21 Feb 1583
        Went back to Julian in the summer of 1594
        31 Dec 1700 was followed by 12 Jan 1701
Gelderland:
        30 Jun 1700 was followed by 12 Jul 1700
Utrecht and Overijssel:
        30 Nov 1700 was followed by 12 Dec 1700
Friesland:
        31 Dec 1700 was followed by 12 Jan 1701
Drenthe:
        30 Apr 1701 was followed by 12 May 1701
