The first day of the 5th month celebrates the Revolution! and crowning of the new Monarchy of Neustria.
This is celbrated by many but not all. The Capitals put on a magnificent Street Carnival and launch fireworks throughout the day and night.
Significant amounts of Neustrian Brandy and cake are consumed on this day by the masses as they celbrate cheek and jowl.
Huge pyres are lit in honour of those that gave their lives to the Revolution! Red and Blue flags, banners and bunting adorn all public and private buildings.
