Halloween for the Concordian Republic

Yesterday marked an occasion for many around the world, the holiday of Halloween. Falling on a Sunday in 2021, this holiday has roots deep within folklore, when the end of October and beginning of November marked a point where the spirit world and the mortal world were at the closest to one another. Since then, it has morphed into a time for many to dress up and go trick-or-treating, in a bid for free sugar. Here's what the Concordian Republic has been like this year.

The residents of the Federal District did not generally participate in celebrations, pulling out Mentos in order to satisfy the lone trick-or-treater who came to the door. However, the President did participate somewhat, as he was a marshall at a Halloween parade. After spending A$22.50 of state funds on lollies to give out to kids, the event ended about 2 hours after its start.

Another marshall of the parade and fellow Concordian citizen, General Norman, participated in trick-or-treating after being stationed with Russell on the parade. Norman is a partial citizen (which we are phasing out), and so whilst he was not within Concordian territory, his participation still marked the first citizen to conduct trick-or-treating.

While the holiday of Halloween is not officially recognised by the state, it is believed that participation will continue into the future.
