In the confederation exist a Confederal Holidays and Cantonal Holidays. The first have extant in all Confederation territory, the second one obviously have extent only in the cantonal territory.

Here are listed only the Confederal:
1st January: New Years Day
1st May: Army and Labor Day - Over to be Workers' day is the day that the Alingan Army doean a coup d'etat, to force the King to organize a referendum and an election of a new costituent assembly. This after in a situation of a near-civil war situation. The king rise to the throne in the year 1998 differently form the previous king that respected the democratic istution that make the alingan people to tolerate the monarchic istitution, he had accentred the powers in his hand makin the nation in an autoritarian nation, the situation became hot when 12th Janary 2004 the king ordered to shoot to manifestant in protest, killing 1 000 day. That day will called bloody snow monday, Since that day the situation degenerate, police officers, militare became to disertate, people become to make imponent manifestation and some violent action became to happen in throught the nation. The intervention of the General Van Hoppen, avioded the worse. Estabilsed a Military Junta acalled "Demoratic Restoration Military Junta", and sine 25th May 2004 became a "Democratic Restoration Civil Junta" when the military member where substituted by civilan member by civil society and leader of the until the cop was a underground political praties exept the head of the Junta remain the General. The first action of the Junta was the abolition of all anti-democratic k0ng's decree, re-enstabish the civil and political liberties, and the organization at the next year of the istitutional Referendum and the election of the new parliament. This was one of the few coup d'etat in the world, that enstablish a democratic regime.
25th May: Republic Day or Democratic Revolution Day: Day that commemorate the referendum held in 25th May 2005 that makes Alinghi a Republic.
29th June: Diversity Pride Day: Day that celebrate the diversity of single alingan. In that day in the Capital are organizing a great pride parade. This was a sort of evolution of Gay prides what after the all LGBT battles had been succesful, the organizers decide to evolve the parade, deciding to focus to be pround what you are, indipendently what you are, and embrace the differenciese that make you different from another person.
31st August: Indipindence Day: When Alinghi regain indipendence from occupation from Kingdom of Pavan in 31st August 1946
5th September: Ex-Slaves Hospitality Day: Then the Alingan Anti-Slavery Association was founded, in 1782. The society pratically freed in legal or illegal method the black african slaves from USA and African Slave Traders, and give them the possibility to move in Alinghi as free men. The 70% of them under the risk to be re-enslaved again accepted to move in Alinghi. Intially where expected that initially the two communties, the caucasic ex-colonist and black ex-slaves would be separated in asort of apartheid, but slovly (and not without any initial opposition) the society became to mix, and the idea of separation became to fall, making Alinghi onward in the world on racial tolerance, and the first multi-racial marriages become to be performed but only after 1968 became so popular, actually 90% of alingan citizen have anchestors both from european colonist and ex-black slaves, the 30% had anchestors from the Jews escabed by nazi persecution.

The indipendence day is 31st August not 31st July as you put in the index (and I correct also the orthography indipendence not independence) . And i'd correct the national day name on 25th May the name is republic day or Democratic Revolution Day (I forgot to write the word "democratic" before revolution. Thanks
