Brazil.
30 days + a lot of holidays.
At least 2 years for sickness if I'm not mistaken.-
I might be wrong, you probably only get 20 in the way leave days are counted outside of Brazil. In most other countries days off don't count weekends, so a month of holidays is 20 days off.
Every single company I worked in Brazil gave a one month holiday that you could split at most in two, i.e. the minimum holiday you could take was 2 weeks. Whereas here in Europe every company I worked for gave me some number of days that you can take like you want, e.g. there's a public holiday on Friday? Take the next Monday for very an extended weekend, or use 4 days to have a 9 day holiday.

It's 30 days, but weekends count. Recently the law was amended to disallow scheduling vacations to start on a Friday because of that. It can be taken in full, or 15+15, or 10+20, or 10+10+10.

You're missing my point, when people in Europe say they get 30 days they mean 30 "actual days where they were supposed to be working" off, not counting weekends. So a month is only really 20 days. That was one thing that caught me by surprise when I moved here, and it makes a difference when comparing across different countries, because they can't tell you how many days off using your numbering because it depends on when they take their days off, e.g. there's a public holiday on Monday, so you take Tuesday -Friday off (which only uses 4 days) but you have 9 consecutive days off (from Saturday to the Sunday after the first one). But it's easy to convert your 30 days into working days, you essentially divide by 7/5, and you get that you only have approximately 21 days (where you should be working) off a year.
