    That said no idea why they celebrate St Patricks day which is celebrated by even less people than the Queens Jubilee (No offence to people who will complain....) Though I guess a Diamond Jubilee happens once every 60 years so isn't feasible and every other Jubilee isn't good enough
    And how many are in the Commonwealth?

    Let me answer that...
    'The population of the 54 member states exceeds two billion, about 30% of the world population'

    Just a few more than the USA..not many more

    Rubbish!


    Nobody celebrates my birthday around here...

    Personally though, I think the more holidays celebrated the merrier. Each one provides a wonderful excuse for double cents and some hard liquor.

    You might want to check that research again... you know... the one you just made up on the fly.

    Almost every America celebrates St Pattys... just like almost every American celebrates Cinco de Mayo. Drinking holidays for us, important stuff for the countries they originate from.

    You know, I think it would actually be a good idea if Evony included international holidays as well as American ones into the scheme of things. After all, not only is it an internationally played game, but also seeing all sorts of holidays being celebrated by people we've come to know will give us a lot more added perspective. *catches breath*

    Well, that's my two cents.

    i agree us brits and commonwealth members are big users why shouldnt evony give gifts

    Its more deserving of a offer as its such a rare even, and ""Welcome, your Majesty, Evony is an empire building game played by 18 million players in over 167 countries."" DOESNT just say America on there does it

    EXACTLY!!! The whole game and its structure is about KINGS AND QUEENS AND MONARCHY not presidents or dictatorships (the latter could be disputed in game lol).

    It kinda makes sense that the current QUEEN of 30% of the world who is celebrating such an enormous achievement should be recognised.

    (actually, this isn't true... I know many people who could care less what day it falls on... myself included.)


    just like almost every American celebrates Cinco de Mayo.
    I don't know any Americans who celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I see a bunch of people on May 5th running around waving a flag other than the American flag, and speaking a language other than English... but I don't think they're Americans.

    I don't know, everyone I see on May 5th is out getting drunk over here. [notice part where I said "Drinking holidays for us..."]
