In what ways could we have more calendars in both official and predominant (in a given area) day to day use in modern times than OTL, and what could they be?
Obvious survivals boil down to "later adopters of the Gregorian calendar not doing so", but possible new departures include the World Calendar managing to capitalise on its high point of support in the 50s to be adopted in at least one country, the French or Soviet calendars (or perhaps more likely, different calendars introduced in similar circumstances) being more successful (come to think of it, in the French case, this could be helped by slower adoption of the Gregorian so it replaces a duplicity similar to metric OTL), or perhaps Dee's revised version of the Gregorian being forced on the C of E by the state in the late 1500s.
Any other suggestions are of course welcome.
