There are two interpretations to the question "which country is it the year 2018?" based on context:
- If asking which country uses the year 2018 currently in their traditional calendar system while it is 2025 in the Gregorian calendar, that country is Ethiopia. Ethiopia uses the Ethiopian calendar, which is approximately 7 to 8 years behind the Gregorian calendar, making the current year 2018 there.
- If asking which country was named "Country of the Year 2018" by The Economist magazine for its notable progress, the answer is Armenia. Armenia was recognized for its democratic renewal and peaceful political change in 2018.
Could you please confirm if the question refers to the current calendar year used in a country or the award for country of the year in 2018?
