Residency algorithm

[Greater Cadia]

Despite only having a nation for 29 days, the residency algorithm claims that my nation has been a resident of my region for 207934568 years and 307 days. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

No algorithms in residency... just a timer. And yours is currently showing 0.76 days, or roughly 19 hours. Prior to that it was a bit over 28 days.

My region's Discord server has a bot which is keeping track of his long every nation has been part of the region for and that it where I am getting that figure from.

That is likely a misunderstanding on your part or more likely an issue with the bot. Try contacting.the creator of the bot.

I've found what I suspect is the error, so I've TG'd Tigerania (who I'm told manages the bot) to let them know.

Basically, for nations with residency less than 0 (i.e. decimal residency), it looks like the bot fails to read the 0.XXX and instead reads XXX. This causes issues for residency values like that of Greater Cadia, whose residency went from 0.75946479172 days to 75946479172 days.
