Russia:
248 years. That was how long ago the office of the Prosecutor General of Russia had been founded. Of course, it wasn't called the Prosecutor General of Russia then, but the Prosecutor General of the Senate, and during the Soviet Union days, the Prosecutor General of the USSR. But the job had, in all essentials been the same.
And every year on this date, a commemoration for this founding had been held. It wasn't a public holiday, but Ivan still had a few, discreet symbols for this day.
They were less discreet then those he'd during the Soviet Union, as his Boss then hadn't been a fan of celebrations and had had a "less is more"-mentality.
One of the symbols he'd, was the emblem to the office; the two-headed bird with two swords in a cross between it and the shield that had a column with a crown on top of it imposed on a green background.
As it was, as mentioned above, not a public holiday, all Ivan really did was to salute with his glass of Vodka before drinking it as the clock struck twelve, then going back to his paperwork.
Author's notes:
I probably should've mentioned this earlier, but I drew the inspirations for each of my chapters by looking at Wikipedia for the corresponding date.
Hope you'll enjoy (someday).
