Empire Day

The Empire Day is the National Day and public holiday of Istalia celebrated every year on 1th September to commemorate the foundation of the Istalian Empire and the accession to the throne of Michele I as Emperor of the Istalians.

The official day has been established in 4581 during the celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the Empire's foundation and of the referendum of 4571 when the Istalian population approved the Imperial Reform and its new Imperial Constitution.

To celebrate the national day a large military parade is held in Romula attended by the highest state officials. The reigning monarch traditionally releases a nationwide television address to the Nation in the evening.
