How is Halloween observed in your nation?

Postby Vallermoore » Wed Oct 26, 2016 9:12 am

How is Halloween celebrated in your nation? With us, we used to have parties, some people would play pranks, and there would be illegal but generally tolerated trick or treating, but nowadays we generally spend the night fighting off zombies and the occasional higher form of Undead.

Trick or Treating during the day, but in the late afternoon and evening everyone boards up for the annual zombie apocalypse. Children and adults alike enjoy wearing costumes, though sexy costumes are disencouraged because, as a quote by our PM They "strip the halloween costume of its creativity and integrity".

It isn't PG-13 and involves Cthulhu partially nude

We have normal western traditions but one thing is that Voluntarily people go in a arena and fight to the "Death" (The only Role-play die) the last team/person standing gets candy. Oh and we don't use zombies in the Arena don't worry, zombies are usually locked out of the Capital because we built a wall around the Capital.

Halloween is observed exclusively in former Anglo Colonies, and in communities with significant American or English immigrant populations. It is slowly spreading to other parts of the country.

The Bharata District is the centre of Halloween celebrations, as thanks to new laws giving humans full rights, humans from the Anglosphere are organizing Halloween celebrations around the country. There are two reasons for this: One, it is to keep the population happy; and two, it helps keep their minds off of the nation's past atrocities and such.

In the imperial state of novakia,people observe normal western traditions (Parties,trick or treating,what have you.) "Sexy" costumes are frowned upon heavily by the conservative people of novakia,but tend to be worn anyways.
Also,the crown prince usually throws a costume party in the palace,much to the irritation of his father,the Emperor Erik Novakai.

Halloween is a great time for trick or treating at during the night. If on a weekday, work is still done, as is school.

We have parties during the day. During the night, trick or treating happens in most parts of the country, but the Western Isles of Scotland wear costumes to trick any zombies who may be around.

As in Rhodevus, work and school continue in Erudice no matter what day of the week Halloween happens to fall on. Adults and children celebrate in the evening with costume parties, but our nation does not partake in the "trick-or-treating" aspect.

Most people wear costumes on Halloween. In the past, popular costumes have included Alphonse, Fish, submarines, pirates, General Castro-Stalina, etc. Last year Alphonse dressed up as a cow. This year it is rumored that Alphonse and Fish plan to dress up as C3P-Alphonse and R2D-Fish.

It is observed in some areas of the country, usually through parties, fairs and trick or treating. It is discouraged by many local authorities who see it as a health and safety risk. There have been many attempts in the past to try and make it a more widely observed occasion but it's never really taken off. Younger generations tend to enjoy it more, though most people tend to stay in.

Depends in which part of Zhouran. Within the suburban neighborhoods of towns and cities, trick-or-treating is quite popular with kids, similar to how it is in the United States. Not only that, the suburban streets would be quite active as children and adults socialize under the night sky while elders tell spooky stories to scare the young ones. Hallow costume parties are also common as well.

Meanwhile, in the countryside, Halloween is not observed while the concept of trick-or-treating does not exist. However, city-folks do like to travel to the forests on Halloween and camp-out overnight.

We celebrate just as those high falutin' Yanks do. One time, in 1910, we even snuck a few patriotic teenagers across the DMZ in old uniforms from the Second Revolutionary War. Assassinated Ol' Billy's politicians at their doorsteps and reunited America under one banner.

Halloween is generally observed in Gandoor by costume parties and similar events. Things such as 'trick or treating' never caught on here and Gandoorese culture considers randomly knocking on people's doors and asking them for stuff to be impolite, so Halloween parties aimed at families/children usually act as a substitute for trick or treating, since those usually will give away candy or small gifts to children attending.

Men, women, and children dress up but keep to Netoraria's standard of leaving the chest and crotch exposed. It's a fun time with many street parties, candy, and decorations throughout the towns. Other than the Feast of the Goddess, it's one of the most widely celebrated holidays.

Halloween is observed as a day of people dressing up in costumes,going door to door and cleaning their houses before they get candy,once they do that, the sweets are released,typically in large bags all over their suburban front lawns, with government issued assorted mixtures of candies ranging from 10,000 pieces to 1 million pieces depending on the mean income of the people in residence.
