Rechtenberg - From the Royal Capital of Rechtenberg, the Governor-General, His Royal & Imperial Highness Prince Louis of Orange-Villayn-Armstead, Prince of Luthori, Mordusia, Rutania & the Yeudi Homeland, etc., etc., etc., announced the first Mordusia Day. A day to commemorate the history, culture, and unity of our great Commonwealth on our beautiful Southern Seleyan continent. During this day, all of Mordusia will have a day off to celebrate and enjoy a wondrous occasion. Throughout the land, numerous activities have been planned, such as special markets where children can sell their toys, cultural outings, sporting games, and festivals.
 
Long has it been the greatest wish of Mordusian patriots and of the Prince himself to establish a national day that celebrates the unique identity of the Commonwealth. For decades, national identity had been intertwined with its colonial past under the Holy Luthorian Empire. However, as Mordusia has grown into a thriving and diverse nation, calls for a day that celebrates its own heritage and accomplishments have grown louder. In a stirring speech delivered from the steps of the Royal Palace, Prince Louis declared: “Mordusia Day is a testament to our journey as a nation, from our colonial roots to our proud standing today as a Commonwealth that embodies unity, diversity, and progress. It is a day to honor our traditions while looking forward to the bright future we are building together.”
 
Celebrations began early in the morning, with a grand parade through the streets of Rechtenberg featuring floats depicting scenes from Mordusia’s history and its vibrant cultural tapestry. Traditional dances, music performances, and reenactments drew thousands of spectators, many waving the national flag.
 
Across the nation, communities came together to participate in events unique to their regions. In the highlands, villagers celebrated with traditional Mordusian sports, while coastal towns hosted regattas and seafood festivals. In Randworth a great festival was held where various musicians performed various songs including the anthem ‘’Red Rose of Morduisa’’, ‘’Advance Mordusia Fair’’ and of course we cant forget that the most popular song of them all ‘’Walzing Mathilda’’. We were treated by a song of the Queen of Disco herself, Ann Jones.

In various cities across the Commonwealth fireworks were lighting up the sky as the day came to a spectacular close, symbolising the patriotic feelings the people have for the nation but also its unique culture, based and rooted in the traditions of Luthori and having grown on Seleyan soil. The spectacular fireworks shows were seen in every major city throughout the Commonwealth. On television they where shown, with also being shown that the Governor-General, the prime-minister and the leader of every political party in the Federal Parliament present watching them from Rechtenberg. 
 
Her Imperial & Royal Majesty, Audrey, of the House of Orange-Villayn-Armstead, Empress of Luthori & Queen of Mordusia herself sent a message from the Luthorian capital, Fort William, expressing her pride and affection for Mordusia. “Although I am across the seas, my heart is with the Commonwealth on this historic day. Mordusia’s spirit of resilience, creativity, and kindness is an inspiration to all,” the Queen said in a broadcast aired on national television.
 
The creation of Mordusia Day is widely seen as a milestone in the Commonwealth’s history. Many hope it will serve as an annual reminder of the unity and strength of the nation, fostering a deeper connection among its people and their shared aspirations. With its inaugural celebration, Mordusia has taken another step toward defining its own path in the world, while honoring its past and embracing its future.

 

God save the Queen, Long live the Commonwealth!
