Hi,
I want to know my nation's precise founding time. The two sources I can see are World Census statistics and the forum User Control Panel, but these two sources differ on the date; the World Census first has statistics for my nation starting at Sunday, Jan 8, 2017 at 00:00, and my User Control Panel (set to UTC-8) says Joined Forum: Mon Jan 09, 2017 10:07 pm. If the time I 'Joined Forum' is exactly when my nation was founded, and if the World Census uses UTC, statistics for my nation should start some time on January 10, which is not the case. Is 'Joined Forum' the same as nation founding? Which source should I trust, and when was my nation founded?
Thanks,
Far Tholk
Edit: The NationStates API also allows use of a founded shard, but this just gives a number of days since founding, and ideally I would like a precise time.
