Wiki/Gwalethain Calendar

The Gwalethian Global Calendar or GGC is a specially designed dating system that is now considered the official calendar of the region of Gwalethia.

History

It is actually based on the Solar Aeternaean Calendar, currently being used by Aeternaea. Aeternaea follows the principle that the planet takes 365 days to orbit the sun, equating to one year. This year is split into 12 months. Although this is is the global standard for simplicity sake (mostly due to the fact that Aeternaea is the oldest nation, and has the largest library and archives in the world), many still hold to their own personal calendars when dealing with internal affairs. The calendar has three subdivisions into it when referring to a period of time;

• Pre-WE (Prior to the Wonder Era / Warring Era.) (Records dating back to 11,441 Pre-WE.)
• The Interim Age (2 Pre-WE to 49 WA, during the establishment of the Wonder Era.)
• WE (The Wonder Era, the current one.) (Records kept up to date.)

Th reasoning behind Aeternaea's desire for a unified calendar is simple: they wish to make it easier for themselves to record history, records, and notes. Having a single global calendar allows this, and also allows a great deal of cooperation among nations. Not that Aeternaea enjoys cooperation.

Organisation

The Aeternaeans recognise 12 months, as established by the Aeternaean Calendar.

NOTE: A whole year in Gwalethia lasts 12 weeks (3 Months), if there is any confusion as per the day, please contact a regional admin or moderator.
