We use the Gregorian calendar, with the start date being 753 B.C. (the founding of Rome). This is called the Roman calendar.

Another variant that is used often is the Scientific calendar, which is basically the Roman calendar, but it begins at the very beginning of the universe (being the begin of the Big Bang). This is explicitly used in science.

In Kanoria, and associated territories, a long calendar cycle-known as an Arndcaer (from the Latin Indicere) lasts 16 solar (Mediterranean) years, known as Arnikaerae. Each of which is constituted by seven months- Mardgar. A week-Arvikkan, is five days- or Dagr, each of ten Stilarnd. A Stilarnd is one hundred Smenaren, and a Smenaren one hundred Artaka.
The names of the Mardgar are as follows, with brackets showing the number of Arvikkan in each.

Fagrlopt -Beautysky (11)
Kalavik -Cold month (10)
Olfosvik -Falling Water month (10)
Helalavik -More warm month (11)
Hattrframi -Habit's growth (10)
Sio -Late (10)
Vikjol -Month of Feasts (11)

Leap days are not considered to be a part of any year, but a day of reflection. Each year is given a unique name based upon what happened in the preceding one, decided upon and announced by the monks of Aes-Morra, following an ancient tradition.

Territories in the TL do not make use of timezones, but instead have one fixed clock.

Fun fact: An Artaka is roughly the same as the interval between heartbeats in an average human.

2014 CE (Gregorian calendar) is equivalent to 798 Leysanic Calendar - Hope Era.

New years celebrations begin on December 21st, and last a variable number of days.

Officially our calendar is the British Regnal Calenadar, however it is now mostly used for official documents only. Most people now use the Gregorian calendar.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a police officer. It appears that you are accepting of religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a traditionalist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a uncompromising radical centrist with a firmly established worldview.

A Gregorian Calendar is officially used, but some fanatics who worship Notch (the guy who created Minecraft) use his birth year as the start of the calendar. The Islamic calendar is unofficial.

In Gandoor, we utilize the Gregorian calendar. In addition, from 1603 until 1902, we also used a Royal Calendar which was dated starting with the reign of the first Monarch, in addition to the Gregorian calendar. The Royal Calendar was virtually identical to the Gregorian calendar, as far as months and such went, but the first year was the year 1603 (which was designated as year 1).

The way you would mark dates during the period of the Royal Calendar's usage (which was primarily used for official dating and such, in common usage, the Gregorian year was prevalent) was like so:
Day Month Gregorian Year
Royal Year RC (for Royal Calendar)

So, for example, the date 19 March 1878 would be written as:
19 March 1878
275 RC

Usage of the Royal Calendar was officially ceased following Nzard William II, the last monarch of Gandoor, stepping down and officially abolishing the monarchy of Gandoor. The last document to be dated with the Royal Calendar was the document that he signed which dissolved the monarchy and officially transferred control of Gandoor to the interim revolutionary government. The document was dated 299 RC.

Besides the Gregorian Calendar used most commonly, there is the Imperial Calendar based on the years of the current Emperor or Empress' reign. These use an adjective from the Imperial language, followed by the year of the reign.
For example, the current Imperial Calendar date is December 21, Odayakana Jidai no Sannen, or Year Three of the Calm Era.

There are also some calendars, mostly religious, that are used by churches.

We used these calendars with reasons

British Regnal: as we shared a monarch through Commonwealth even though there is an elective monarch, due to the Treaty of Baganga which gives the right to the British Monarch to be the co-monarch and a defence adviser alongside the elective monarch

and for the date format we prefer the MDY format

The Glorious Republic uses its own version of the French Republican Calendar. Instead of the weather, the 12 30-day months are named after plants and animals native to the Republic. After the last month, there are 5 extra days, and these are named after different values of the Glorious Republic: Orden (order), Trabajo (work), Patria (fatherland), Progreso (progress), and Paz (peace). On leap years, there is an additional day, Revolución (revolution).
