Public Holidays in YN

[Costa Azurica]

What is a public holiday? According to Wikipedia, a public holiday is a holiday generally established by law and is usually a non-working day during the year.

In Costa Azurica, there are 8 holidays that are mandated by the government.

January 1 - New Year's Day हारि अनु बारो / Hari Anu Baro
New Year is a celebration marking the beginning of the year, and is commonly celebrated around the world.

March 23 - Leader's Birthday अनिबेर्सारिउ लिदेर / Anibersariu Lider
Celebrates the birth anniversary of Joshua Dela Cruz, the current leader of Costa Azurica. He was born on March 23, 1989. Before his leadership, the leader's birthday was celebrated every October 9 during Steve Burns' term in 1996–2002, and every March 1 during Donovan Patton's term in 2002–2019.

June - Pride Month मेस ओर्गुलिउ / Mes Orguliu
The month-long holiday is celebrated throughout the whole country in support of the LGBT+ community. This holiday was declared in 2020 by the leader, saying with the line: "No matter who we are, no matter who we love, and no matter who should be treated better, everyone must be proud of themselves."

August 6 - Anniversary of the Liberation of the East अनिबेर्सारिउ पाम्बाबासान तेमोर / Anibersariu Pambabasan Temor
The civil war between the Azurican government and the Azurican Free State broke out in 2006, following the control of the states of Upper Coast, Lower Coast (now Costa Azurica State), and Santomero by the Free State in 2007. Providing support for the Azurican Special Force Unit, Burgessia held control over the AFS-controlled states in April 2010 before handing back to Costa Azurica in August 6 at the same year. The AFS surrendered and immediately disbanded as a result.

September 8 - Foundation Day हारि फुन्दासाउ / Hari Fundasau
Costa Azurica was founded in September 8, 1996 when a proclamation signed by Angela Santomero and Traci Paige Johnson was approved by the Nickelodeon Associative Union, thus creating the nation.

November 11 - Constitution Day हारि कोन्स्तितुइसाउ / Hari Qonstituisau
Immediately after Joshua Dela Cruz's inauguration on that same day in 2019, a new constitution for Costa Azurica was declared after he promulgated the Constitutional Bill. This holiday marks the anniversary of the current Azurican constitution.

December 25 - Christmas Day हारि नाताल / Hari Natal
Despite the 82% of Azurican people that make up the Christian population, Christmas is being celebrated as a public holiday. It is a common holiday observed in most countries, celebrating the nativity of Jesus.

December 31 - New Year's Eve बेस्पेरा अनु बारो / Bespera Anu Baro
In preparation for New Year's Day, December 31 has been made a non-working holiday in Costa Azurica.

[Esthe]

Mostly all holidays that the US celebrate, with a few exceptions:


February 20th: Independence Day

In my lore, this replaces the 4th Of July. Esthe historians have actually discovered that the day was February 19th, but tradition still celebrates this holiday, the anniversary of the end of the War Of Independence from some RL country that I haven’t decided yet.

October 31st; Deacon Christopher Day

This takes the place of Halloween. It celebrates the creator of Meriduve, the main religion of Esthe. Many Presidents of Esthe have tried to banish this religion from the country, most notably Franklin Turner, who performed a bloody coup in the middle of the Esthe Civil War in the 1950s, and held it for 2 years until General David Birch killed him in the pivotal Battle Of The Shingles, which brings us to…

November 30th: Remembrance Day
This remembers all of the fallen soldiers in the Esthe Civil War. Esthe’s flag is flown at half-staff on this day.

In addition to the red letter days, there remain a large number of so-called “black letter days” in the Cardican Rite, so-called because they are customarily printed in the Calendar in black ink as they rank as mere simple feasts. Hence, though these days are marked liturgically, and with traditional customs, they are not recognised as days of rest, although there are many customs surrounding them. Popular black letter days include the feasts of St. Nicholas, St. Lucy, St. Anne, St. Alban, St. Silvester, St. Valentine, St. Ursula, St. Boniface, St. Elisabeth, St. Sebastian, St. Uncumber, St. Xavier and St. Dominic.

[Andocara]

New Year's Day: January 1st
New Year is on January 1st. People often have new years resolutions and try new things that they've never done in their lives, or stop doing things that are detrimental to their well-being.

Foundation Day: February 15th
Andocara was founded on February 15th, 1870. Every year on this date, a patriotic festival is held in the capital city, and in the evening, fireworks are launched. Most Andocarians watch the fireworks on a tv programme inside their homes, likely with immediate family. Often, games and drinks are included in the family occasion. The tv programme not only shows the fireworks but before then, goes into the history of the formation of Andocara, as well as trivial, less known facts about the country.

Commonwealth Day: Second Monday In March

Labor Day: First Monday in May
The day people take off and are appreciated for the work they've done.

Christmas: December 25th
A time of giving, and a time for kids to receive gifts. Traditions may widely vary depending on whose celebrating, due to Andocara's cultural diversity. Christians for instance, celebrate the birth of Christ.

Boxing Day: December 26th
A time when prices are lowered and any late Christmas presents are brought.

New Years Eve: December 31st
A time of reflecting on the year, and preparing for the next year. On the evening of this day, it isn't uncommon for there to be parties and drinking.

[Vallermoore]

Vallermoore's National Holidays.

1st January-New Year's Day
A happy national holiday for all. Since a lot of people drank too much on New Year's Eve and drink driving can get prison or even the death penalty in some cases it is not fair to expect them to risk their lives to get to work. People rest and sleep off their hangovers. Only emergency services work on this day.

March 25th-Easter Day. The second national holiday of the year and it is a good time to feast on chocolate eggs.

April 1st-Not a holiday as such but a time for silly pranks. Even the press and TV joins in.

July 8th-Queen Yocasta's birthday and the third national holiday of the year. There are large numbers of fireworks set off officially and otherwise.

October 31st-Hallowe'en/Nightmare Night

Not a holiday as such and unpopular with many people because of pranks such as tyre slashing and other such things. Trick or treating is banned as people are either too young or too old for it but it still happens. Every year a few people get arrested doing illegal stuff on this night.

December 25th-Christmas Day

The fourth national holiday of the year and a time for feasting, opening presents and enjoying oneself as much as you can.

December 26-Boxing Day

The fifth national holiday of the year and a time to rest and enjoy yourself. Also a traditional time to watch boxing matches on the TV.

December 31st-New Year's Eve

The sixth national holiday of the year and a time to set off fireworks at midnight, jump into the New Year and kiss your loved one.

Some workers get up to a month of extra holidays and others have just the six national holidays guaranteed by law.

[Radiatia]

Federal public holidays in Radiatia:

Date:	Official Name:	Details:
January 1st	New Year's Day	Celebrates the beginning of the new year according to the Noctur Calendar, as well as the Aquilan Calendar and Gregorian Calendar. Sometimes colloquially referred to by Radiatians as "hangover day" due to the tradition of heavy alcohol consumption the night before.
February 7th - 14th (floating)	Traiyan Silviu Day	Celebrated on the first Monday in this period to honour Traiyan Silviu, the founding father and first President of the Radiatian Federation, whose birthday was on February 7th.
April 13th	Victims of Communism Memorial Day	Held on the anniversary of the April 13th Black Friday massacre, when the Radiatian People's Liberation Army opened fire on a group of pro-democracy protesters in Exegrad, killing approximately 1000. The day also commemorates the approximately 10 million people killed in communist-era purges. Flags are flown at half-mast on this day.
May 28th - June 4th (floating)	Capitalism Day	Celebrated on the first Monday in this period. Was known as "Workers Day" during the communist era, but was changed to Capitalism Day by the Radiatian Federal Parliament "as a joke" after the fall of communism and never changed back. Many Radiatians consider this to mark the unofficial beginning of summer.
September 15th	Federation Day	Known in some states as "Constitution Day", and formerly as "Union Day". Marks the signing of the second constitution of the Radiatian Federation (although this was replaced by the third and current constitution 15 years later) and coincidentally marks the date that the "Original Seven Republics" united to form the short-lived "Radiatian Union" over a century ago.
October 1st	Anniversary of the Fall of the Radiatian People's Socialist Union	Usually referred to as just "The First of October" and occasionally as "Radiatia Day". Celebrates the anniversary of the collapse of the communist regime and founding of the modern, democratic Radiatian Federation.
December 6th - December 12th (floating)	Victory Weekend	Held on the first Friday in this period and is actually an amalgamation of three former holidays into one - "Democracy Day" on December 6th celebrated the anniversary first free and fair elections in Radiatian history, "Veteran's Day" on December 7th was a commemoration of Radiatian war veterans during the communist era and "Victory Day" on December 9th commemorates Radiatia's victory over Rivenka during the Isthmus War. As there is a good chance that the holiday will land on one of the three days, it is usually referred to as "Victory Weekend" and is generally considered to be a time to honour the military.
December 31st	New Year's Eve	Celebrates the end of the year, although trading doesn't usually cease on this day. However a peculiar thing about this holiday is that it is illegal for any federal or state authority to charge excise or sales tax on liquor on this day, which makes liquor cheaper and encourages heavy drinking on the final night of the year. Many states also temporarily lift restrictions on sales of alcohol to minors on this day, if they have age limits in place.

[Syndic Australia]

Federal Public Holidays
Federal Public Holidays are holidays that are observed uniformly throughout the Commonwealth. All citizens, except for emergency responders, are exempt from work during public holidays, with the syndicates organising distribution for those days beforehand or accepting volunteer workers at a significant bonus - emergency responders also receive such bonuses. The practice of 'mondayisation', where a public holiday is observed on the following Monday (or preceding Friday) if it would normally fall on a Saturday or Sunday, is not practiced in the Commonwealth.

The following days are observed as Federal Public Holidays;

New Year's Day - Jan 1°
The celebration of the New Year, according to the modern Gregorian calendar.

Treaty Day - Feb 6°
Also known as Waitangi Day in New Zealand, this day celebrates the treaties and cooperation between those of immigrant descent and those of native descent, as well as commemorating the imperialist atrocities inflicted by the past colonial institutions.

Anzac Day - Apr 25°
Also known as Veterans' Day, this day comemmorates the disastrous Gallipoli landing of the Great War, and by extension the sacrifice of all past and present who have given or risked their lives for the defence of the Commonwealth.

Commonwealth Week - Apr 26°-30°
The five days between Anzac Day and Labor Day, celebrating the lead up to the Labor Day Revolution.

Labor Day - May 1°
Celebrating the global Labor Day, as well as the 1923 Labor Day Revolution.

Promulgation Day - September 19°
Celebrating the promulgation of the current constitution.

Stockade Day - Dec 3°
Commemorating the 1854 Eureka Rebellion.

Christmas Eve - Dec 24° (1/3 day public holiday)
The afternoon before Christmas is considered a public holiday to allow all to be home earlier.

Christmas Day - Dec 25°
Celebrating Christmas, the most celebrated Christian festive day, also celebrated secularly as a day of gift-giving.

Boxing Day - Dec 26°
A traditional Anglo-Gaelic observation, where those with leftover Christmas food would pay visit to the less fortunate and give them their leftovers as alms. Nowadays celebrated as a day to honour civic service, and the day that many movies debut in cinemas.

New Year's Eve Dec 31° (1/3 day public holiday)
As most New Year's celebrations begin on the eve, the afternoon is considered a public holiday.

---

Other Holidays

In addition to Federal Public Holidays, each state and capital city also celebrate a public holiday for their respective foundings, bringing the total up to 14 2/3 public holidays a year - two weeks, plus two evenings.

Easter and Ramadan, as holidays of variable date, are also both considered public holidays, with a duration of three days each, though the practice regarding business hours differ depending on the state. Other religious holidays can be celebrated by the faithful as holidays, with certification from a recognised faith practitioner (i.e. bishop, imam, etc...) and not subtract from the annual leave allotment of said worker - such allotment differs depending on one's occupation, with jobs with fewer work hours typically having less annual leave, and vice versa.

State governments are free to declare new public holidays, either as singular or recurrent observations, whereas Federal Public Holidays have actually been written into the Commonwealth Constitution, and thus can only be modified via a national referendum - it is very unlikely, however, that a new public holiday would ever be refused, or an existing one repealed.

[Slaver Pirates of Vaas]

September 14: Occupation Day/Pirate's Day

September 14 marks the anniversary of the declaration of the Pirate State shortly after the invasion of Saint Lucia in 1941. The holiday is largely a military one, with military parades or marches of some form occurring all across the island. Castries, the capital of the Pirate State, is the site of the island's largest parade during the celebrations.

Some prisoners captured during any revolts occurring over the year are held in custody until this holiday, in which they are brought to Castries. After the military parade, their executions are publicly broadcasted in the center of the city, with military officers playing games to decide how the prisoners should be executed. The method of execution varies widely and is largely decided by the games the officers play.

In 1968, 63 prisoners were executed at the center of Castries during this holiday, the most in the Pirate State's history. The execution methods were very diverse during this year's celebrations, with one notable example being when 10 of the prisoners were stripped naked and forced to fight each other in a makeshift ring. The fighters were each given weapons commonly seen in wrestling circles like the WWE, such as steel chairs, baseball bats, tables, and ladders. All weapons were very much real. The only fighter left was treated to alcohol, drugs, and a sex slave before being put in a plane and flown about 5000 feet above the island. He was then thrown out of the plane without a parachute. His mangled body was found about a week later.

[Countesia]

1st of January - New Years Day
A day off to celebrate the new year.

13th of February - Day of Remembrance
An opportunity to commemorate and recognise the sacrifices made by soldiers and emergency workers in the name of Countesias freedom and security.

1st of May - Labour Day
In recognition of the Countesian workforce and their daily contribution to the nations strength, the first day of summer is given to the people as a nation-wide day off.

8th of July - Unification Day
Unification day is a celebration of founding of the old Kingdom of Countesia under King Blake the 1st, as a result of the ceasefire between the Craxx Empire and the Counts Alliance

10th of August - Founders Day
The birthday of the first king of Countesia, King Blake the 1st. Although another federal holiday celebrates the ousting of the Monarchy, Founders day is still observed as one of the most popular federal holidays largely in part due Blakes leadership being viewed as instrumental to holding off the war machine of the Craxx Empire long enough to broker a ceasefire.

9th of September - Federation Day
Federation Day marks the date of the ousting of the monarchy and Countesias transition to a wholly democratic federal republic.

25th of December - Christmas Day
Although the Countesian constitution is secular, December 25th, considered to be the birth of Jesus in the Christian Bible, is celebrated as a federal holiday as an opportunity for people to exchange gifts with family and loved ones.
