Islam, like any other religion, is not recognized by Ulvena. But the Empire's many industrial complexes does recognize Ramadhan as a traditional ceremony and either gives them time off or gives them holiday pay.

Fatatatutians are eager to celebrate any holiday and Ramadan is no exception, though the non-Muslim celebrations include a lot more bacon. We have a chain of Ramadan Hotels. An attempt to rename the holiday Ramalamadingdong was answered by several explosions which might have been cars backfiring.

There are very few Muslims in Yannia, so Ramadan is not given any special attention.
Yannia's nation page contains an error. The population should be in millions, not in billions.

Since Icarianna is mostly atheist, any religious observance is rare.

Though there is a significant Muslim population in the CCC, it's not a very observant one and for the most part is discouraged by the government. For the most part, it is celebrated through lax fasting and materialistic consumerism. The Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated as a major holiday with lots of feasting (and enough drinking to give a devout Muslim a heart attack).

We haven't any native Muslims in Swith Witherward however, because we are a tourist destination, we play host to wonderful Muslim guests. We welcome them during Ramadan, and we set aside beautiful locations and pavilions for their use.

It is that time of the Islamic calendar wherein the Muslim faithful abstain from food, drink, and smoke from sunrise to sunset, and sex for the entire period and instead devote themselves intensely to Allah.

And as the Sultanate is Islamic in nature... Ramadan in Bangsamoro Mindanao is rather subdued, but Eid'l Fitr is very lively.
This is yet another puppet of Central and Eastern Visayas, created primarily to simulate a part of RL Philippines run by the Bangsamoro people. Expect some Islamist tendencies.

A lot of Muslims fast during the day for the whole month, make speeches, have celebrations, etc.

All religions/groups are allowed to practice holidays, provided that it is legal (meaning if it doesn't really hurt anyone)

Since the citizens of Sunlesslandia are exclusively zombiefied, most have learned to place no trust in religions or their rites.

There may be a few individuals who consider themselves Muslim, but since noone knows the date it is or even whether it is night or day, observing such elements of a belief is impossible.

We imagine that the Muslim minority group celebrates it, though the Government does not really monitor or survey those activities.

Practiced widely throughout the nation. Over 90% of Danbershanians are Muslim, mostly Sufi, and Ramadan is a very important time of year. It is not observed by the minority of atheists, agnostics, humanists, Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus and Jews in Danbershan, but many are caught up in the atmosphere nevertheless.

Ramadan is practiced by muslims in lubnen
Muslims form 58% of the lubnen people (31%sunni, 24%shia, 3% allawite)
Its mainly a religeos month where people fast, national tv channels put on religeos programs ( stuff related to the event )

Lubnen is a nation based on equality and freedom where everyone has the ability to practice his or her religeon.
Lubnen has 17 different religeos views, this is why lubnen is called the holy blender....XD
This is a way for a better world, and a reply for those closed minded, racist, worst excuse for a nation...

PS. RAMADAN KARIM EVERYONE!!!!

Muslims make up Tsvarchi's largest faith group with 160.2 million Muslims currently living in Tsvarchi, and as such Ramadan is one of the more significant religious holidays in Tsvarchi.

Even so, a majority of Tsvarchivans observe Ramadan secularly, partly in solidarity with our Muslim counterparts, but as devout Xanthaiyanists the month-long fast is a spiritual and powerful journey that many Tsvarchivans can identify with strongly. On the flip-side, many Muslims participate in the Xanthaiyanist month-long holiday of Solitude.

Being a fiercely secular state, no official recognition of Ramadan is present, although it still remains a culturally and historically important holiday despite this.

I cannot comprehend why people hate Islam so much. Yes, some Muslims caused 9/11, but that doesn't mean all of them are terrible people. I have met many kind Islamic people. I think everyone just needs to accept other religions, because there is no proven "better" religion. That goes for Jewish people, too.

Honestly, can we just act a little human for once?
