The East, Atlantia, Æthelmearc, Drachenwald, Ansteorra, Trimaris, Meridies, Northshield, and Artemisia use the exclamation "Vivat!" as an expression of acclamation and joy.

The literal translation of vivat from Latin is 'he/she it lives', or, more idiomatically, 'long live'.

In some kingdoms, the use of vivat is proscibed thusly: 'vivat' is exclaimed when cheering an individual entity and 'vivant' is used when cheering many people as a group.
