Notwithstanding that Patria and all other micronations are not, and can never be, members of the UN, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has designated February 13 as World Radio Day — a day to celebrate radio as a medium; to improve international cooperation between broadcasters; and to encourage major networks and community radio alike to promote access to information, freedom of expression and gender equality over the airwaves.
As radio continues to evolve in the digital age, it remains the medium that reaches the widest audience worldwide. It is essential to furthering UNESCO’s commitment to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment, particularly in the world of radio.
As part the push to keep Patria "safe for social conservatives", Patria has long been in the forefront of efforts to boycott or ban Valentines Day. Instead of celebrating a stupid, meaningless, over-commercialized Hallmark Holiday, on the day before Feb. 14 Patria will celebrate a day devoted to radio and the public service that AM, FM and shortwave broadcasting has provided since the 1920s.
