The '''"Ballot Festival"''' is the {{wp|Colloquialism|colloquial}} term for the events that occur around the {{wp|public holiday|holiday}} on {{wp|election day}} in [[Carucere]]. The event is well known for its {{wp|street food}}, {{wp|parades}}, and large social gatherings. Although the holiday itself was established to encourage voting, the events that occur around the day of the election have evolved into a major social and cultural event. The events originate from the voter turnout programs run by the ethnic political parties of Carucere to encourage their base to vote. Traditionally a source of political violence between ethnic parties, it has since lost the majority of its original political purpose and transformed into popular festival.
'''Austeria''', officially the '''Republic of Austeria''' ({{wp|Albanian language|Tethian}}: ''Republika e Austerisë''), is a sovereign state located in southern [[Euclea]] bordered by [[Etruria]] to the north and surrounded by the Acheloian Sea to the south and west and the Solarian Sea to the east. Austeria has a population of 12 million people. The capital and most populous city is [[Kartha]].


The festival has its origin in {{wp|get out the vote}} programs run by the ethnic political parties that began in the 1950s. Due to the racially polarized politics of Carucere, swing or undecided voters found in most liberal democracies are rare. Instead elections are determined the ability of each political party to turn out their voter base using {{wp|political machines}} and other programs. As a result turnout was extremely high; in the 1965 legislative election, electoral turnout was estimated to be at 95%. However during the 1960s, political violence and rioting between supporters of rival parties were common. During the Preval years, the modern tradition began to form after the end of political violence and additional means to encourage voting emerged. The first foods stalls to serve hungry voters on election day began to appear in large numbers in the 1986 election; while some were independent hawkers, most of them were set up by a community, cultural, or other local organization for fundraising. The events further evolved with the introduction of music, dance, and market stalls. Political parties took advantage of the events to further encourage voter turnout and promote their party's message.
Historically, Austeria has been controlled by different civilisations over time, mainly the [[Piraea|Piraeans]], [[Solarian Empire|Solarians]], [[Empire of Arciluco|Amathians]], and the [[Etruria|Etrurians]]. The first recorded settlements in Austeria was originally inhabited by the Gadishullorian tribes, but the first walled settlement was founded by Piraeans in the 5th century BCE, which would become the city of Kartha. In the 2nd century BCE, [[Irfan]] arrived by oceanic trade networks from [[Coius]] and established itself as the major religion. They would be in regular conflict with Pirean city-states until it was conquered by the Solarian Empire in the 2nd century BCE. Under the [[Solarian Empire]] and its successor the [[Empire of Arciluco]], the peninsula was a major center for trade from [[Coius]]. After the end of Arcilucan influence, the region was thrown into religious turmoil by the [[Iconoclast Wars]]. The conflict allowed the Irfanic Maqil Kingdom from modern day [[Tsabara]] to establish itself on the peninsula. The Maqil fought with Povelia for control of the region until both states were annexed by the [[Etrurian First Republic]] during the [[Etrurian Revolution]]. Austeria briefly gained independence as a {{wp|revolutionary republic}} in 1801 before it was reannexed by the restored monarchy of Etruria in 1855. However this brief period of independence sparked a national awakening known as the Austerian Renaissance, beginning a period of nationalist sentiment and agitation. After the rise of the functionalist [[Greater Solarian Republic]], Irfanic communities across to the gegion were subject to a [[Irfanic genocide|genocide]] of forced deportations to concentration camps in Austeria. Following the end of the [[Solarian War]], the modern state of Austeria declared independence in 1946. The republic was briefly supplanted by an ultranationalist dictatorship before [[Kristaq Kotta]] restored the republic and established the current Republic of Austeria.  


Events are held around polling places, usually located at schools, community halls and churches, as many people arrive to vote. Although many different events are held during the Ballot Festival, street food continues to be the main attraction. Commonly served food at the festivals include pate, bake and fish, skewered meat, fried breadfruit, and mélangé. As voter turnout in Carucerean elections are routinely high, the Ballot Festival is one of the largest events held in Carucere, alongside [[All Days]] on November 1st and 2nd. Today it is one of the most important and recognizable events in Carucerean culture.

Austeria, officially the Republic of Austeria (Tethian: Republika e Austerisë), is a sovereign state located in southern Euclea bordered by Etruria to the north and surrounded by the Acheloian Sea to the south and west and the Solarian Sea to the east. Austeria has a population of 12 million people. The capital and most populous city is Kartha.

The conflict allowed the Irfanic Maqil Kingdom from modern day Tsabara to establish itself on the peninsula.
