Kazakhstan - Day of the Capital
Day of the Capital is one of the public holidays in Kazakhstan. This holiday is officially celebrated since 2009.
The first capital of Kazakhstan was Almaty, which is today the largest city in Kazakhstan. On July 6, 1994 the Supreme Council made decision to move the capital to Astana. President Nursultan Nazarbayev approved this decision in 1997 and signed Presidential Decree on this issue on May 6, 1998. The same decree foresaw changing of name of the city from Akmoly to Astana.

Lithuania - Statehood Day 
Lithuania annually celebrates Statehood Day on July 6. This holiday commemorates coronation of Mindaugas in 1253, the first and the only King of Lithuania.
There is little information about Mindaugas, his early life and rise to power. It's known, that he was born circa 1203. He was the first known Grand Duke of Lithuania. During the 1230s and 1240s he strengthened and established his power in Slavic and Baltic lands. In 1251 he received baptism and relinquished control over some areas of present-day Lithuania in return for an acknowledgment by Pope Innocent IV as king. Pope Innocent IV signed two papal bulls, one of which ordered Mindaugas to be crowned as King of Lithuania. The exact date of his coronation is unknown, but it's considered to be July 6, according to the hypothesis of Edvardas Gudavičius, a historian of modern Lithuania.
