Public Holidays in YN

[Haneke]

Public holidays mean that most (non-essential) businesses and government services are closed. If mandated to work on a public holiday, employees and civil servants must receive 2x their regular salary. Students of all ages do not have classes on these days. If there is a dated holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is usually observed on the preceding Friday or following Monday.

January 1 - New Year's Day. Celebrates the first day of a new year. Frequently accompanied with New Year's Eve hangover.

February 10 - Labor Day. Celebrates the achievements of the working class and provides a much-needed day of rest.

March 20 (ish) - Vernal Equinox. No one is really sure why we celebrate this.

Friday before Easter Sunday (April/May-ish) - Good Friday. While most are not outwardly religious in their day-to-day lives, church attendance on major Christian holidays remains high. And those who aren't religious tend to enjoy the day off regardless.

The day after Easter Sunday (April/May-ish) - Easter Monday. See above.

June 20–25 - Summer Holiday. Mostly for kids to take a break from school.

August 15 - National Holiday. Celebrates Haneke and everything related to it. Lots of flag-waving, drinking, and singing the national anthem.

September 23ish - Autumnal Equinox. See Vernal Equinox.

Second Monday of October - Health and Sports Day. Shamelessly stolen from the nation of Japan. A recognized day to get off the couch and move your lazy bones. There is a national 40km walk/march and the government hands out medals to anyone who finishes it.

November 11 - Armistice Day (Veteran's Day). Celebrates peace and the sacrifices of veterans. A long moment of silence at 11am.

December 21 - 31 - Christmas Holiday. Two weeks of festive activities, including Christmas and New Year's Eve. The country effectively shuts down.

[Dzrrhia]

January 1-3: The Festival of Fire. One of the Four Elemental (Seasonal Festivals). It is a lowkey, household-oriented festival, used by most for a "staycation" or even recovery from the Festival of Renewal's often wild final night.

April 1-3: The Festival of Earth. One of the Four Elemental (Seasonal Festivals). It is characterized by floral decorations, sports games, and pranks.

July 1-3: The Festival of Water. One of the Four Elemental (Seasonal) Festivals. It is traditional to visit and recreate at a body of water within the period. As this has led to overcrowding in recent years, major municipalities have begun to assign households a 4-hour section of the festival to legally visit beaches based on the last digit of their address.

July 31: The Feast of the Republic: A civic festival celebrating the establishment of the 7th Dzrrhian Republic and the 2,400-year Dzrrhian Republican Tradition more broadly. Barbecues and displays of pyrotechnics are common.

September 1: Election day.

October 1-3: The Festival of Air: The last of the Four Elemental (Seasonal) Festivals, it is celebrated by the exchange of gifts and large, communal meals.

December 7-31: The Festival of Renewal. This 24-day festival is the key religious festival of the year in Dzrrhian culture, celebrating the annual death and resuscitation of the God Ospr as a blessing of mortality and mortal life (through the God's willing experience of it) and the benevolence and love of his counterpart, the Goddess Silê in allowing him not only to return to life, but to bring with him to Families the blessings of their ancestors from her realm in the Afterlife. Its first 12 days are somber, contemplative, and of a lenten nature, while the following twelve days are a massive, Staturnalian party. Many businesses shutter longer to let their workers revel freely, while others remain open specifically to profit off of the festival, but about 60% of companies give off certain days, particularly the Middle Two and the Last (19, 20, and 31), to all and particular vacations to certain employees based on their requests. These Three days are when most of the government (aside from Emergency Services) shut down, while lawmaking bodies typically make the whole festival period one of their two recesses of the year. (the other being in Mid to Late August)

[Tangatarehua]

Tangatarehua has holiweeks rather than holidays, plus the Empress's birthday on July 1st.

The main holidays, which usually last around a week are:

Te Whakanui i a Rehua: (Festival of Rehua), usually held in the last week of March to mark the Autumn Equinox as well as the appearance of the star Rehua (also known as Antares, in the constellation Scorpio) in the night sky. Mostly people get really, really drunk to celebrate not unlike St. Patrick's Day (which sometimes to corresponds with the dates) only it lasts a whole week.

Hakari o te Takurua: (Feast of Winter), usually held in the last week of June to mark the winter solstice. Usually marked by a family meal, traditionally roast pork and kumara/potatoes with traditions not dissimilar to western Christmas, sometimes including gift-giving.

Te Whakanui i a Puanga: (Festival of Puanga), usually held in the last week of September (sometimes early October) to mark the Spring Equinox and appearance of the star Puanga (also known as Rigel in the constellation Orion) in the night sky. Fertility is a significant theme; brace yourself for public nudity and dancing in the streets.

Hakari o te Raumati: (Feast of Summer), usually held in the last week of December to mark the summer solstice and usually coincides with Christmas (which is not celebrated in Tangatarehua) and New Years Eve/Day. Basically it's the week that everyone gets time off work to go on a summer holiday somewhere, the beaches, roads and transportation systems get nice and clogged during Hakari o te Raumati.

[Alkmaaria]

Holidays, in Alkmaaria, make it mandatory for time off of work for that day.
Here is the list of Alkmaarian holidays:
January 1st: New Years Day. A celebration of the year to come.
March 12th: Black Friday. Only day of the year the sale of alcohol is legal. Introduced to give a small boost to the annual GDP, and to increase nationwide productivity.
April 14th: Leader day. Celebrates leader's birthday.
June 7th: Independence day. Celebrates the day Alkmaaria gained independence from the Netherlands.
July 13th: Caesar Day. Celebrates Julius Caesar's Birthday, because he was a role model for all dictators.
October 31st: Halloween. Solely celebrated due to increasing demands by candy companies to market their products. Also provides small boost to annual GDP.
December 20th: All Leader's Day. Alkmaarian form of Christmas. Many military parades are conducted during the day, and many families exchange gifts.
December 31st: New Year's Eve. Celebrates the eve of New Year's Day.

[The Disorder]

The Disorder holds two festivals per cosmic year on average (291.2 days), each of which lasts for one cosmic day (54.6 hours).

These festivals are general-purpose holidays for celebrating literally anything imaginable. Typically, the Disorder celebrates by feasting, getting high, flying spaceships, and blowing up asteroids with really big weapons. These multi-purpose festivals are just as wild as the anarchists that call the Disorder home.

Festivals occur at pseudo-randomized times, so they're a surprise for everyone involved, and the Disorder's enemies can never predict when one is going to happen.
