Statutory Holidays in your nation?

[Krasnotav]

What existing calendar holidays are mandatory holidays in your nation?

Are there any exceptions to statutory holiday laws in your nation depending on employment?

Are there any statutory holidays exclusive to your nation?

If so, do they follow any particular theme, or have anything notably unique about them, or are they just 'a day off' (ie labour day)?

Krasnotav recognises New Years' Day, Liberation day (Feb. 9th), The first day of spring, Lenin's birthday, Krasnotav Day/The National Holiday (June 17th), The first day of summer, Labour Day, The first day of fall, Memorial Day/Nov 11th, The first day of winter, and Christmas Day as nationwide statutory holidays

There are also city or oblast-specific statutory holidays as well, such as the Revolution Memorial in Beloroye, which takes place between September 8th and 9th. The Revolution Memorial celebrates the uprising that overthrew the city's Nazi occupation force as the Red Army battled it's way toward the city in 1944-45

All of Krasnotav's statutory holidays include a military parade. The Christmas Parade is a favorite, as the KLF plants a giant Ded Moroz hat on a T-90, and SP artillery have their barrels wrapped in a candy-cane overlay.

The spring festival features a massive funfair in the central square of every city that remains up all week. Everything from rides, to a farmer's market, to public performances, to an open-air 3 ring circus dominate the city's life for 5 days.

In all major cities, the summer festival can be compared to New Orleans' Mardi Gras in terms of livelihood and entertainment. The Government-run liquor industry waits all year for the summer festival, as they sell more Vodka and beer during the 2-day festival than they do all other 363 days of the year, Krasnotav's population also swells nearly 150% as peoples from neighboring countries gather for the wild nightlife.

The fall festival is all about food - Government food storage opens up and a massive feast is held in each city's central square. Hundreds of thousands of people over two days partake in a celebration of the annual harvest.

The winter festival's highlight lies in its ice and snow sculpture competions. From castles, to vehicles, to famous Krasnotavian historical figures, the central parade square of every city becomes packed with thousands of pieces of frozen artwork.

This varies from industry to industry.

Are there any statutory holidays exclusive to your nation?

We're certain that Foundation Day is unique to Central Lothian. We're not sure about St Andrew's Day or Boxing Day are unique.

If so, do they follow any particular theme, or have anything notably unique about them, or are they just 'a day off' (ie labour day)?

Foundation Day marks the day when Central Lothian was created. Our patron saint is Andrew and his feast day is November 30th, so we have that day off. Boxing Day is so called because servants used to be given one or two boxes of supplies so that they can enjoy the festivies with their family.

[Greater Rhodes]

Public holidays in Greater Rhodes (also known as Festas) are federal holidays established by the government to be celebrated in every administrative region of the country (cantons are themselves free to institute additional holidays, and the vast majority of them have done so). According to our nation's principles of secularism, all public holidays are non-religious, and those who wish to take off days for religious observation must speak to their employers about it, although these requests are for the most part given. Public holidays are divided into statutory and non-statutory holidays; statutory holidays being a non-working day where it is mandatory for all business and services to close (this, of course, does not include emergency and health-related services), and non-statutory holidays being days where businesses are not required to close, but may choose to do so, including government agencies and schools, and where those working on these days are paid time-and-a-half for working (also known as STAT pay.. The main festas in Rhodes are:

Are there any exceptions to statutory holiday laws in your nation depending on employment?

There are certain essential workers who will need to be on duty, they are paid double and given two more free vacation days for their scheduled vacation as compensation.

Are there any statutory holidays exclusive to your nation?

Soldier's Day and Liberation Day are both based on Floridian history and culture, but there are certainly similar days in other nations.

If so, do they follow any particular theme, or have anything notably unique about them, or are they just 'a day off' (ie labour day)?

Soldier's Day on April 17th is a day for the nation to pay respect to all of the military; living, veterans, and injured and fallen in battle. The 17th is a solemn day for those enlisted in the military and there are often remembrance gatherings by civilians. However, on April 18th which is not an official holiday, non-essential soldiers are allowed to get wildly drunk and party on base and in the cities, they are often treated to free drinks by the local bars and there are drinking contests which are attended and observed by civilians, in a similar way to sporting events. This is because the 17th is a day of respect, but the government recognizes everyone needs a break and a chance to party, so they give the day after to active military personnel as well.

Liberation Day marks Floridian sovereignty, and it also celebrates the deposition of corrupt regimes, victory in war, the increase of peoples' standard of living, and the founding of the Eco-Socialist Federation of Flordian city-states. It is the most patriotic day of the year, the night before is when civilians enjoy the most lively parties and celebrations, many will hoist a Floridian flag from their apartment's balcony after they wake up and treat their hangovers.

[Cameroi]

the solstices and equinoxes, in other word the primal points of the year, are official national holy days. as is the first day of each month. which is always the middle of a weekend which is thus always a three day weekend. there is also a whole week during which the leap year adjustment occurs that is celebrated by decorating public parks and people having pot lucks and bardic circles.

that first day of each month is also called feast day, which doesn't mean its about celebrating food, but rather when whole villages or neighborhoods get face to face with their elected councils. in most villages, for all practical purposes, whatever is recommended or requested by anyone becomes an agenda item for their council at its next closed meeting, or several.

the midwinter's eve holy day is a celebration of food, and of having made it through the first half of the lean months of the year. the vernal equinox, besides being new years, is also a day to celebrate all life forms and the harmony of life and caring for and about each other. midsummer's day is often celebrate by intricate ice carving in well insulated cool rooms. and of course the autumnal equinox is the day of morning and remembrance.

none of these days are tied specifically to individual personalities, nor would it be in the cameroi character to do so.
