Independence Day of the Federation of the Howlton Republics, The Kingdom of Slovia and The Yugolan Union is on April 11, the day that the country had signed the Flufflesia Treaty recognising the country as a sovereign nation.
Background
Following Arc War 3, Flufflesia was occupied by Murkatinnya and Barkand, the latter of which forcefully gained full control of the country after the segment of the Treaty of Viska, which allowed for the occupation of Flufflesia, expired. Soon, the same year in 1945, the Flufflesian Civil war began, leading to the 3 biggest people groups, Howts, Yugolanders and Slovians to rebel against the Barkand puppet regime of Flufflesia.
On April 11, 1954, Flufflesia signed the Treaty of Flufflesia, recognising Yugolan, Slovia and Howlton.
Celebrations
The eve of the Howlton Independence Day is celebrated with beer as well as root beer for non alcoholics. Similar to Oktoberfest, every state in Howlton celebrate each of their own cultural history. On the day of independence, Howlton holds its celebrations together with Slovia (since 1954), and since 2008, Yugolan as well, where free-travel is allowed with border removals, establishing a de-facto Flufflesian reunion on April 11-12. Celebrations and performances are held in the capitals of all 3 countries, with the biggest being in Howlton City.
