Black Winter: March 5th. We remember the death of 5.000 children in a fire, the night of the 5th of March provoked by a psycho.

Factbook of Greitania.

In the former city of Kor, wich was destroyed by the invasion, A statue was standing in the central plaza, under the red skies and falling snow mixed with ashes. The statue was a Greitanian Soldier. On his right hand he was holding a Greitanian Flag Waving to the wind, and on his other hand he was holding the hand of a girl and walking at her side, on the base of the statue it said "We will protect the weak, even if we vanish from this world. Unity, Sacrifice and Protection. That is our duty" The flag was waving at the wind, burned and torned. Greitania never gave up. They defended this planet, not for them. For It's people.

April 7th- Brown Envelope Day- every April 7th, the subjects of Vytalus Express their love of the Emperor in the way he likes best, by sending a financial expression of their gratitude and affection in non-sequential large denomination hard currency banknotes

May 11th- Jammin Day Reggae music and street festivals as Vytalians celebrate their countries lax drug policies to the fullest extent of the law. Huge International tourist attraction.

June 5th- Weren't the 90s awesome day? The Vytalians adopt period 90s costume and perform traditional 'gangsta-raps' and attend large scale technically illegal dance music events...

September 13th Badboi Killa Day- Traditional Vytalian Military Songs (Tupac's 'Hit 'Em Up' & Merauder's 'MasterKiller') are played on repeat across all radio sations and PA systems as a huge military parade takes place in the capital, ending with mass drinking and traditional brawling. Live footage with aggressively xenophobic commentary is beamed into all neighbouring nations.

October 8th- The Emperors Official Birthday- All subjects are compelled to volunteer to take part in massive state-organised spontaneous carefully rehearsed displays of their love for and gratitude toward the Emperor. He likes big explosions and loud guitar-based music, and carefully notes each communities efforts...

December 8th- Dimebag Memorial Day- The subjects of Vytalus listen to and discuss the music, life and legacy of Dimebag Darrell, Pantera guitarist and national Icon.
