20th Anniversary of the New Order

Participants

The **20th Anniversary of the Proclamation of the New Order** took place on November 11, 2039, celebrating 20 years of the Fox Dynasty regime established in the Libirachi Empire in 2019 following the 2019 Libirachi Coup d'état in which then-President Laura Fox ascended to the throne to become the first Emperor of the Libirachi Empire since 1852, when the monarchy was abolished following a civil war. The anniversary was commemorated by Fox's successor and daughter, Empress Penny Fox, as well as President Karyn Voor, and saw a military parade involving 10,000 troops and the display of many high-tech weapons was held in Tiananmen Square in Beijing and various celebrations were conducted all over the country. The Empress Fox inspected the troops along Chang'an Avenue in Beijing. This parade was immediately followed by a civilian parade involving 100,000 participants.

With Li Zhanshu as the host and manager of ceremonies, the 20th anniversary celebrations were an international affair, with Avalonian Väldeminister Ada Nilsen and Shanghai Pact General Secretary Stanford Newman in attendance at the ceremony, whilst Libirachi communities across the world celebrated in local parades and demonstrations. As part of Empress Penny Fox's campaign to revitalise the nation under her own ideology of New-Think, the parade was a demonstration of Libirachi technological prowess and power on the world stage, whilst luscious galas and balls were hosted at the Forbidden City, with guests such as Libirachi president Karyn Voor, former US president Selina Meyer, Canto Haven governor Vanessa de Rouge and Avalonian first lady Elsie Johansen Nilsen all in attendance.

The 20th anniversary celebrations were also used by the Imperial Ministry of Propaganda as part of a plan to re-define the international image of the Fox Dynasty with a new flag following the nation's victory in the Conquest of Africa and it's newfound position as one of the world's leading states.

## Preparations

The city of Beijing was in virtual lockdown in the run-up to the anniversary. Objects that could overfly the capital such as kites, balloons, drones and even pigeons were banned. The use of walkie-talkies and other devices using radio waves, alcohol also joined the list of things that were disallowed. Weeks before the anniversary, motorists were prohibited from refuelling their cars or motorcycles on their own. During rehearsals for a military parade to mark the day, residents close to Tiananmen Square received instructions to stay away from windows and to keep their curtains drawn. Guests in hotels in the vicinity of Tiananmen Square were told that for several hours each day, they would not be able to leave or return to it for hours at a time. Shops and restaurants in the centre closed or shortened their opening hours; some metro stations were closed temporarily.

## Flag Change

As part of the 20th anniversary celebrations, the Imperial Ministry of Propaganda was tasked with designing a new flag to differentiate the Fox Dynasty from the Imperial Republic of Libirachi; under the direct oversight of President Karyn Voor, the propaganda ministry designed a new flag using inspiration from historical Libirachi flags, especially the Chinese heritage of many of the later dynasties of the Libirachi state. First unveiled on September 1, 2039, the flag entered formal use both internationally and domestically on November 1, 2039 in order to be present in preparation for the celebratory parade on November 11, 2039.

With the creation of a new flag, the Imperial Ministry of Propaganda was forced to change the millions of Fox Dynasty flags across the nation, and as part of the anniversary celebrations, a new portrait of President Karyn Voor was released with the flag in the background. By November 3, 2039, the United Nations had formally recognised the usage of the flag for international purposes.

## Parade

The big highlight of the celebrations of the anniversary was the grand civil military parade held on November 11, 2039 in the grounds of Tiananmen Square to mark the vicennial anniversary of the foundation of the Fox Dynasty. With an estimated 15,000 marching in the ground column, 600 vehicles in the mobile column and around 180 in the flypast column, alongside a more than 110,000 strong civil column, it was the biggest ever civil-military parade to be held in the history of the Libirachi Empire. As part of the celebrations, Empress Penny Fox and several senior government officials reviewed the parade from atop Tiananmen Gate, with the Empress Fox giving a speech dressed in plain clothing upon the conclusion of the parade in which she vowed to serve as a "people's empress". Following the speech, a mass dance exhibition was held on the parade grounds, with carefully selected members of the audience joining in the pre-rehearsed routine.
