Southern Calendar

The Southern Calendar is an alternate system for measuring dates, where RP Year 0 is substituted for 1900. Nations to have adopted it include Cancioni-Inutilia and Elestiyanj.

The calendar was proposed by @Zelfen, as some players found it displeasing to have historical dates as negative. Those in favor of the standard system argue that it reduces scope for new members to wrongly assume that the RP would begin with 1900's rather than 1800's-level tech, and furthermore that starting at Year 0 would lessen the scope for people to get confused over which year it is. Other calendar options are currently under consideration to make all groups satisfied, making the potential future of the Southern Calendar doubtful.

Meta note: No matter which system your country uses, on the wiki, please use the standard calendar. Otherwise it's going to be very confusing. At least include it in the form a second date besides the Southern Calendar one, and make it clear which one is which.
