Calendar, time system, and number system

Calendar

The eight months of the year are:

• Unuary
• Druoary
• Triinary
• Tetrinary
• Quintamber
• Hexumber
• September
• October

Each month has 32 days, for a total of 256 days in the year. New Year's Day is Unuary 1, and is the fall equinox.

The years get numbered from the founding of Rome, with the current year being 785.

There are 8 days in a week (and therefore 4 weeks in a month).

Numbers

For time purposes, Astrocracy uses base 8, in which 256 (base ten) is 400 (pronounced forked-aught). 13 base ten is 15 base eight, pronounced wunked five. 26 in base 8 is pronounced twoct-six.

Time

There are 32 hours in a day, 64 minutes in an hour, 64 seconds in a minute.
