The citizens in the Federal Confederation do not have as many holidays as people had on Earth. They do only have three. The relatively low number has to do with the fact that people in the Gamma Age have to work very hard to maintain their standard of living. Accordingly, the artificial intelligence GAIA, commissioned by the ruling party of the Communards, calculated in 2632 that the Federal Confederation can currently afford only three holidays per year. The introduction of up to two more holidays are planned for a time when social welfare has significantly improved.

Since the citizens of the Federal Confederation have many different earthly cultural roots, the Communard Party decided to introduce three new holidays. It was important to the Communards that the holidays have no relation to holidays on Earth, but represent entirely new holidays that are symbolic of a new chapter in human history and represent the values of the Federal Confederacy.

The new holidays were generated by the artificial intelligence GAIA - on behalf of the government. The process was such that GAIA created ten holidays, which were then put to a vote among the population to determine the most popular three proposals.

The choice of the citizens led to the introduction of the following holidays:

• Day of Universal Harmony (16th of April): On the Day of Universal Harmony, the human community celebrates the signing of the Peace Treaty on april 16 in the year 2631. To celebrate peace between the Humans and the Natives, an annual street parade is held in New Kourou, with representatives from the big six Native tribes in attendance.
