I think Jan 01 was based off an ancient 'Straight Dope' post. Perhaps the timezone matters here?
That's entirely possible. We settled on December 31 because of Max's email, and because Myrth told us they had been founded in TSP on 31 December 2002. If it wasn't Dec 31, at least we do agree that TSP existed by Jan 1.
My inner historian would go crazy if you ever managed to get ahold of that Straight Dope post.
Correct. I founded my nation in the early evening (UK GMT) of 31st December 2002 and it appeared in the South Pacific.
