Calendar

Almost every society organises a year on Kerbin into a calendar system of days, weeks, and months. The most common calendar on Kerbin is the 14-month Reformed-Kulge calendar.

History

For most of kerbal history primitive calendars were used to determine seasons and predict crop yields and weather patterns. A multitude of systems were used across Kerbin, varying from city to city, some based on a Solar year and others on a Munar year. These calendars played an essential role in agriculture, religious festivals, and governmental administration.

Development and Adoption

Over time, civilizations refined their calendars to better align with astronomical observations. Many early calendars relied on lunar cycles, leading to inconsistencies that required adjustments. The transition to standardized calendars in the mid ages facilitated trade, governance, and coordination across vast territories.

The Reformed-Kulge calendar emerged as the primary system due to its structured approach to timekeeping and its previous usage by predominant colonial nations. Intitutions and governances adopted this calendar to unify record-keeping and administrative functions where it became more commonly used among local populations.

Subdivisions

As technology progressed, the need to predict weather more accurately grew and subdivisions were necessary. Majority of calendars that use subdivisions had around 30 days per Month. Work schedules were organized into weeks, which tended to vary between 5-and-10 days. Because days are not perfectly in synch with the Kerbin year, an extra 32 minutes remains unnacounted for. This can be countered by lengthening or shortening a day, or by removing or adding days from a month.

Usage

The Reformed-Kulge calendar is the most widely used system, but many nations still retain their traditional or cultural calendars for religious or ceremonial purposes. International treaties and scientific organizations primarily use the Reformed-Kulge calendar for standardization. However, local variations still exist, particularly in rural or isolated communities. All Calendars on kerbin have a common length of year which is used in most public statements.

Out of Character Note : Ingame, the Kulge calendar represents real world days where each game year is two weeks. Even so; directly scaled, solar years on Kerbin pass 3.43 times as fast as they do on Earth

The Reformed-Kulge calendar originated with the Chevspendi people, which divides a year into 14 munar months each consisting of 31 days.

In 1711 the Ra'an calendar was further revised into the Kulge calendar as it was found the year had 32 minutes extra. In 1802 a version of the Kulge calendar with simplified names and characters was created so it could be more easily typed. This reform was not introduced until 1827 when the industrial revolution was spreading worldwide.

Alternative types

An popular alternative to the Munar or Solar calendars are origin calendars, which set the baseline at the founding of the nation or the inaguration of a ruler. Sahrland for example uses two year systems; one being the Reformed Kulge calendar and the other being the age of the current reigning king.
