Are you trying to be funny, Petroglyph? I'm not laughin'.
4th of July is a holiday people outside the US don't give a flying fuck about. Organizing a tournament just for one country is so idiotic even EA wouldn't do it. Today is Croatia's independence day and I see no tournaments being held on anything.

Holy hell man, chill. Perhaps look into why they would choose to do something like this before flying off the handle.
For example, read this. Or even the linked post from Petroglyph stating "As mentioned in our last Producers Letter there is a ton of red tape when it comes to hosting an event internationally."
How come almost everybody else is able to make international tournaments? EA did suffer from this issue early in TibWars days, but it still had more countries than... one. And didn't make a tournament based on a holiday that's celebrated in one location in the world. Unprofessional as hell, they shouldn't even have made this if they were unable to host something properly.
I hope they make an Independence Day event for every country, with all events becoming internationally open at some point.
You have so many Independence Days and equivalents all across the world, that you could use these days as the only guideline for when to place events.
Germany's day of the unification, for example, is on third of Octobre. It's essentially the same as America's fourth of July, as it celebrates the creation of the country. (Germany used to be a bunch of warring kingdoms before that)
I actually think that would be pretty funny and unique.
