Wherever the red flag flies and our way of political thinking rules is the home of our people. We are proud of our little place: we have built a good home here, archieved a lot. Today we take in as many as we can, send our aid and if neccessary troops to those who need them, and that we can do so is the result of our labour.

The Autumn Harvest Uprising Festival usually takes the form of a week-long binge and celebration, good food and plenty of alcohol, remembering our brave ancestors. We celebrate their decision, their resolve to make a better life by making a better life for ourselves. On Armistice Day we remember the victims, in the festival we do them justice - by living the life they sacrificed for, by living the way they wanted. Fireworks, getting wasted, eat until we burst, music, costumes... anything you want. The Red Army holds their only parade in the year on the third day, wearing big red flower ornaments and decorating their tanks with paint and slogans. After it the planning committee announces the next years goals, the targets to meet and the new endeavours we will undertake. Every citizen writes down a "Goal Card" at the last day, what he wants to archieve until the next festival, and then burns it on one of the bonfires. We have held this festival since 1970.

100% because if they don't they get a knock at their door by the secret service.
its more or less like north Korea. citizens are required to do military service regardless of religion (although its not very common to be a religious nut) anyone caught not supporting the leader will be sent to a "re-education" facility. to be honest, my citizens are so brainwashed that they would probably report their own family if they caught their family not supporting the regime. much like north korea, pictures of the leader and former leaders are to be hanged in your home and to be kept in excellent condition. but yeah 100% cuz i don't give them a choice

[Somiens-et-Haveras]

What percentage of your nation’s citizens say they love their country?: Somewhere between 30-40%.
