The Rachenn yearly Calendar is based off of the shared Konrin Confederation calendar (comprising of Johto, Sinnoh, Kanto, Rachenn and Hoenn), and is in marked contrast to the calendar used by Galar, Kalos and Paldea (Which uses a calendar that most of the former descendants of the Reman Empire - before they fragmented and tore apart into their own nations.)

The Konrin calendar starts day 1, month 1 on the first day of Spring, without fail. Each season lasts 91.3125 days, with a seasonal peak lasting 3 days roughly 44.1 days in. There is a leap day every 4th year, starting with year 1 AC on the 8th month, which makes it the longest month every 4 years.

The calendar is divided into three eras -

• Legendary Era (LE) - Pre-history and up to the first formation of the Konrin Empire
• Before Collapse (BC) - Renamed after the collapse, this is almost all of modern history, including the climate change and pollution driven collapse of the international order
• After Collapse (AC) - Work across the various nations is turning the tide on climate-change and pollution, and to celebrate the work done, a new era was proclaimed.

Note that other calendars may not have split BC/AC. It is year 187 AC.

Conversions to calendars that do not have the iron-rule of starting on on day one spring may take some time and are generally done automatically in the modern world.
