First Monday in September Labor Day September 11 Rememberance Day Last Thursday in November Thanksgiving December 25 Christmas Day Those are the official holidays when banks, federal offices, schools, etc. are closed. By standard practice, government offices and schools are also closed the day after Thanskgiving and on New Year's Eve. Offices are only open for a half day on Christmas Eve, but stores stay open until midnight by general practice (not a law, but the Sarzonian government adds a small incentive to stores that remain open later. |

Sarzonia has just added a new holiday in celebration of its alliances in the international community, with particular homage being given to the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland, which is by far Sarzonia's closest ally. [OOC: Especially since they saved our a$$es against Cam III and pitched in to help in our civil war... and they were first on the scene when I was accused of imposing a blockade.] Alliance Day will be observed every 25 June and will be a full-fledged federal holiday. |

| Following a switch over from the Gregorian calender to the Sorthern Northland version of the Juche Calender, New Years Day now falls on the 1st September and New Years Eve the 31st August. To account for the loss of the January holiday, a bank holiday will now be held on the third Monday of January. |
