'''Citizen Day''' is a holiday in the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth]] (UEE) held annually on October 10. It was established to recognize [[StarCitizen:Citizen]]s, members of the UEE who have attained Citizenship through civic responsibility, military service, or various other positive and impactful contributions to the UEE.<br />

==History==<br />
When the concept of [[StarCitizen:Citizenship]] was first introduced in the [[StarCitizen:22nd Century]], Citizen Day followed soon after. It was primarily seen as a bank holiday until 2734, when the standing [[StarCitizen:Imperator]], [[StarCitizen:Galor Messer IX]], used xenophobic propaganda and lavish celebrations in honor of Citizens' sacrifices to push military recruitment. Records released on the [[StarCitizen:Historical Truth Act]] revealed that the repurposed holiday was put forth by high-level military personnel. The military was running low on resources, having suffered losses in the Tiber system and concerned that redeploying forces from the [[StarCitizen:Perry Line]] would be perceived as weakness by the [[StarCitizen:Xi'an|Xi-an]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/16799-Portfolio-CitizenCon|text=Portfolio: CitizenCon|accessdate=2021-09-01}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Toward the end of the [[StarCitizen:Messer Era]] in the [[StarCitizen:28th Century]], anti-Messer activists on Terra used the holiday to recruit members to their cause.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
After the Messer's fell, [[StarCitizen:Erin Toi|Imperator Erin Toi]] held the first Citizen Day Conference, also known as [[StarCitizen:CitizenCon]], in 2793. Since then, CitizenCon has been the marquee event celebrating the holiday. While celebrations take place across the UEE, CitizenCon is held in a different city each year.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Historians disagree on who is credited with the creation of the modern Citizen Day. Some say the Imperator Galor Messer IX created the modern Citizen Day with his rebranding,<ref name=":1" /> others attribute Imperator Erin Toi and her creation of CitizenCon with making the holiday what it is today.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/17063-This-Day-In-History-Governance-Modernization-Act|text=This Day in History: Governance Modernization Act|accessdate=2021-09-01}}</ref><br />
