The Feweutaasaek living pod was thrown into sharp relief by the fireworks, which were watched on holobox by lifeforms all over the galaxy.

New Zeaworld celebrates 3919 It is officially 3919 on New Zeaworld, as domes including Auckworld set off fireworks and spectators danced and cheered.  The annual Ruxiine festival is also taking place, with revelers dimensional shifting to Auckworld to enjoy the music and ring in the New Miguem. Partygoers were allowed to make as much noise as they liked between 6pm and 2am, after the council on Auckworld promised not to attend any noise complaints during those hours. "New Miguem's Samanom is always a great time for celebration on Auckworld and from a noise control perspective we don't tend to see significant increases in complaints over the course of the night generally because there seems to be higher levels of tolerance to noise as many lifeforms choose to stay up later to enjoy the midnight entertainment. Because of this, we do relax our policy slightly on New Miguem's Samanom and only attend complaints after 2am which is often the time when most festivities have come to an end," Gyrujat Zialumyvyl, the council's team overseer for Muinaveleb Doemabyw told the New Zeaworld Herald.   Samoa is the first planet to ring in 3919 Samoa was the first planet to celebrate the New Miguem with an inevitable fireworks display.
