What year does your nation consider it to be

[Meciene]

Were somewhere in the transition of MT to PMT, so we're in around 2018

[Iglesian Archipelago]

2009.

[Courezzia]

2022, in year and tech.

[Arizona Nova]

Did I say I love flag threads? I lied. I also love date and history threads.

To start off, I am a firm believer in the idea, such as is explicated here, that the passage of time in NationStates is one day = one year, from the first day I played. As such, I have constructed an elaborate timeline (over a few years span, mind) based on this assumption:

The Arizonan Common Era.

How it works is that, when I take a particular action, I take the OOC date at which it began, and/or a date midway between its OOC start and completion, and plug that date into a counter, such as made by The Mindset here. From that, I get the date ACE when an event happened, and then plug it into the timeline. The resultant timeline is far, far superior than dates given arbitrarily in a fluid timeline, because the numbers are more realistic. Assigned dates are invariably rounded to a degree.

As well, I also campaigned for greater consideration of time and dates in ESUS as well. One of the features of our forums is a procession of various dating standards in our banner. AD and NSD are both reckoned from the date NationStates itself was founded, AD being the year the game was founded, plus the number of days that have passed since then, and NSD being the number of days that has passed. MY is Mindset's own standard, which also measures how old the ESUS itself is, while KDY is a Kostemetsian standard.

As such, the current year is 2173.

[Gleinster]

Gleinsters calendar is set permanently to 1984 in homage to a simpler time of electro-funk boogaloo.

[Flaminpantalones]

we think every year is 2012... if you know what i mean. yeah. were bringin the end. jk. probably the renaissance times. whenever that was.

[Imperial Alypium]

About 2009-2065

[Carbarosia]

2052

2012 Won't happen.The Renaissance was 1500-1700's I believe.

[Iansisle]

It is currently early summer 1963 in Iansisle, by their own reckoning, or the Year XI of the Revolution if you go by the (abandoned) revolutionary calendar. Technology, depending on the area, is roughly equal to where the western world was at that point in time, though society lags a little behind. The 1960s have been declared the "Gull Flag Decade" by President Nicodemo Ranalte -- he promises ten years of economic success, peace, and stability after the turbulent fifties.

Now, it is also true that Iansisle's world sits on a rift in the space-time continuum, allowing interaction with nations from all time periods. Ranalte has currently stuck his hand into the hornet's nest of ~2009 Beth Gellert and in the past we have interacted with PMT nations such as Larkinia and some far future nations such as Valinon. This is because I, the player, hate to be limited by things so mundane as time.

[Iansisle]

2012 Won't happen.The Renaissance was 1500-1700's I believe.

14th century to the 17th are the figures most commonly given for the Renaissance, but there's no exact consensus on the exact dates. Certainly not as late as the 1700s, though. The 18th century was the domain of another large intellectual revolution, the Enlightenment.

[Spirit of Truth]

in a.d. 2101 war was beginning. so a.d. 2101

[Alexanderburn]

Here in Alexanderburn, the year is 2009 A.C. (After Christ)

[Abdju]

Abju uses a chronological system based on regnal years. In abdju it's "Year 5". Our technology is perfected versions of much cold war and current experimental or feasible but not pursued technology (i.e. Ekranoplans, flexible display technology etc.) but is set in the present day (2009). Abdju dedicates a lot of resources to R&D at the government level without any real concern to commercial application of any given technology.

[Fantasaia]

Fantasiaian calendars are set to the year 2020 while our technological calendar is mixed. The center of our nation (the most advanced area) uses futuristic and modern technology and warfare while towards the far-reaches of the nation you can everything from modernized cities to small tribes and villages.

[Seculartopia]

Seculartopia is based in the year 2009.

[Khodoristan]

2009

[Epicnopolis]

I've heard tons of variation on what year nation's consider it to be, even in MT. Lots of people use 2009, while I've seen dates as far as 2020 used for MT.

Personally, I tend to use 2009. That doesn't mean that I'm not at the same level of tech as someone who uses, say, "2014". I just use that mainly because it fits better for my businesses in Global Economics.

Same here.

[CommunistSovietAmerica]

20 A.R.(After Revolution)

[Bears Armed]

For most matters, including the WA and regional business, we're in 2009 AD.
However we entered the first NS Summer Olympic Games in 2006, and they take place every 4 years from the IC viewpoint (although every 1 year, so far, OOC) so that as we're currently involved in the fourth version of that competition it's 2018 AD for our Olympians. It's also somewhere around 2017 or 2018 AD IC for the WorldVision Song Contest, too.
And we originally entered international Soccer with Baptism of Fire 31 in 2008 AD, which means that 'World Cup 44' was in 2011 as far as we're concerned, so that as we're currently in the first half of the qualifiers for 'World Cup 48' it's 2025 AD for our professional footballers.

(Just to complicate matters slightly further, our 'New Year's Day' is 1st April rather than 1st January...)

[Gaiaton]

It is presently year 79 P.A. (Post-Ascension - when the nation's two rulers got their powers and took over the country) in the Gaiatonese calander. This is roughly 2088 AD.

[Korintar]

E.R. 322 (c 2010), however it is technologically late 2090s in the major cities, air force, and space force and mid to late 19th century in rural regions and militias.

[Saudiland]

1989 is the year, but tech around 1965

[Auoul]

[AD] 2010 [CE] in every aspect of Auoul.

[Maurepas]

2009 CE
