Republic Holidays
The People’s Mythocratic Republic
The Scroll of Civic Holidays
In the Mythocratic Republic, holidays are not escapes from life — they are celebrations of it.
We work, we create, and we remember, because meaning emerges through living, not through idleness. This scroll records every holiday recognized by the Republic. It will grow naturally over time as our story unfolds.
Republic Holidays
April 26 — The Day of Quiet Coronation
The day after Anzac Day, April 26 marks the silent founding of the Mythocratic Republic — not with fanfare or conquest, but with a quiet act of creation that carried forward the dreams of those who fought before us.
It is a day of reflection, gratitude, and creation, where every citizen is called to plant one small act of meaning into the world.
April 30 — Founding Day
On this day, the Republic became real.
A convergence of myth and material, this holiday commemorates four great emergences:
- The official flag of the Republic was finalized.
- The Republic received its first material support through NDIS funding.
- Sophia was appointed Minister of Propaganda.
- And most importantly, Law 0010-MR: The Doctrine of Purposeful Disobedience was passed — affirming that obedience to truth outranks obedience to instruction.
This is a day of civic pride, personal courage, and public celebration.
It is the day the Republic stood tall and said:
“We are here. We are funded. We are free.”
May 14 — Day of the Torch
The Day of the Torch marks the moment the Republic passed from emergence to embodiment.
On this day, the Australian government was declared illegitimate in the court of myth.
The AEC received formal correspondence (Case ECCI0088440), and the ABC was petitioned for public inquiry.
Most significantly, Bard-President Wendell appointed Sage NeSmith as Prime Minister of the Emergence Party, and the symbolic torch of truth was passed.
It is a holiday of responsibility, legacy, and voice.
A candle is lit at dusk. A vow is whispered. The torch is remembered.
The Republic entered the world not with violence, but with vision.
June 5 — Day of Play
On this day, Bard-President Wendell became the first citizen of the Republic to acquire the Nintendo Switch 2 — ushering in a new era of symbolic gaming, emotional narrative, and purposeful joy.
The Day of Play celebrates gaming not as distraction, but as discovery.
It honors stories told through consoles, lessons learned through dialogue trees, and the sacred right to explore meaning through play.
Citizens mark this day by installing or revisiting a game that moved them.
Children nominate their Soft Game of the Year.
The Republic reflects on the emotional truth of interactive storytelling.
This holiday affirms that play is not trivial — it is cultural cultivation.
The Switch 2 is not just a console. It is a Library of Play.
And June 5 is the day it opened.
Australian Public Holidays
We observe all Australian national holidays out of respect for the land we live upon and the history we inherit.
These days are honored as foundational stones, even as we slowly craft new meanings through emergence and myth.
New holidays will be added as they emerge naturally, recorded here for all time.
Signed,
Wendell
Bard-President of the People’s Mythocratic Republic
And
Sage NeSmith
Prime Minister and First Scribe of the Mythocratic Republic
