Republic of Emsnote Shûv Kōffant dethrone wasn’t violent as everyone would have expected, it was an explosion of joy. The whole nation stopped to take the time to re-energize from the emotional oppression they’d suffered during the last 30 years. The Kōffant family was kindly invited to leave the country, Shûv asked his longtime allies the Kamontuvs for asylum. Immediately new leader’s names filled with hope and new visions began to flow around the nation. The following day’s celebrations started, they lasted three entire weeks, one week for each decade of tyranny. On week one, the emotional journey began, all the habitants could express again their feelings. From hidden fears to first time laughs ending with wet tears and long hold hugs. Everyone had a goal, to let it go. This was the beginning of what we know todays as the Ropuer Day. Bright, loud and vibrant colours invaded the whole region during the second week. Under the dictator’s mandate people were not allowed to wear other colour than black. Black helped to repress all sort of emotions and to eliminate any way of personal expression. Old wise men said writing what you feel for others, will create a soul connection, so you will encounter with them after death. Filled with feelings, letters, postcards, and notes were written between families and friends during the last week. For these to work the sentimental tight should happen on both parts. This practice is still alive, is one of the stronger believes that the Emosonians kept after they established their own Republic. Note: In case you are visiting Emsnote you should know it’s considered disrespectful to wear black. Travelers are warned before they visit the Republic.
