RZ39 - An Act to Provide for a Year Zero in the Talossan Calendar

Published in Clark #3

WHEREAS most people do not know that the third Millennium of the Christian, or civil, calendar does not begin on 1 January 2000, but 1 January 2001; and
WHEREAS this confusion has taken places because there is no Year 0 (Zero) in the Christian calendar; and
WHEREAS we do not want to see a similar confusion among Talossan citizens about the Talossan calendar around the year MM;
THEREFORE the Ziu hereby resolves that:
1. The Talossan year XX will end on 31 December 1999 AD, and the year XXI shall therefore begin on 1 January 2000 AD.
2. All subsequent years of the Talossan calendar, i.e. after Year XX, shall henceforth begin on 1 January and end on 31 December.

3. All years prior to the founding of the Kingdom of Talossa, i.e. 1978 AD and before, shall also have begun on 1 January and ended on 31 December.

4. The year 1979 AD shall henceforth be known in the Talossan calendar as Year 0.

a) Notwithstanding Section 3, said Year 0 shall have begun on 1 January 1979 and ended on 25 December 1979.
b) Notwithstanding Sections 2 and 3, the years I to XIX shall continue to have begun on 26 December and ended on 25 December.

c) Notwithstanding Sections 2 and 3, Year XX shall continue to have begun on 26 December 1998 AD.


5. The method of numbering the years prior to the founding of the Kingdom of Talossa shall be numbered in a manner deemed suitable by future Act of Ziu.

6. The short title of this act shall be the Year Zero Act.
