Fellow Talossans:
On this day in 1983, a day which has lived in infamy, a day since commemorated each year as the "Holiday of Hatred", our nation's flag was taken and kept from it by foreign forces.
As is customary, all of the images of our national flag are missing today all across the Website of the Kingdom, and here on Witt.
Today, we as Talossans are called upon to revere the prominent green and red symbol of the independence, greatness, and unity of our Kingdom and her people, and to share with each other how much that flag, and simply being Talossan, means to each of us. As we spend our annual 24 hours flagless, we reflect on the importance of the Bicoloreu to our nation, and we pledge to each other that we will renew our Talossanity and that we will always fight for our nation's flag, and even in times of trouble, we will always be thinking of our flag and waiting confidently for it to once again be flown high and proud.
Happy Holiday of Hatred, Talossa!

P.S. If I recall correctly, there is also a participatory custom, inaugurated some years ago by our new Prime Minister, in which citizens cast off (here on Witt; this thread will serve) some one of their hatreds, the final list to be burnt at day's end by the PM. We do this so that the nation can spend its Flag Day purging itself of any feelings that obviously led some foreign agent to deprive our nation of its flag all those years ago, and so that we will never become a nation without respect for our missing flag.
