Calémerian countries have, today, two main official timekeeping systems in use: Western time (''sóta renóču''), used in most of the planet, and Chlouvānem time (''sóta imúnigúronen'') used in only four countries - the Chlouvānem Inquisition, Brono, Fathan, and | Calémerian countries have, today, two main official timekeeping systems in use: Western time (''sóta renóču''), used in most of the planet, and Chlouvānem time (''sóta imúnigúronen'') used in only four countries - the Chlouvānem Inquisition, Brono, Fathan, and Qualdomailor - together with about 20% of the planet's population. Other systems are in unofficial use in some areas, either for specific contexts (like liturgy in the Skyrdegan countries) or in remote, undeveloped areas following traditional cultures (especially in rural Fárásen and southern Védren). | ||
The two main differences between them are that in Western time the calendar day begins at midnight, while in Chlouvānem time it begins in the early morning. Furthermore, they use two different time zone (and, prior to that, longitude) systems: Western time has its prime meridian passing through Mánébodin, the capital of Ceria, while the Chlouvānem prime meridian passes through Līlasuṃghāṇa, the Chlouvānem Inquisition's capital (143º35′11.6586″ E in the Western longitude system). Due to this difference, in overlapping time zones the Chlouvānem time is usually 18′08″ (in Calémerian time) behind the Western one; in the Western time zone system, for example, the time zone of Līlasuṃghāṇa is identified as CER+12:53′40″. | The two main differences between them are that in Western time the calendar day begins at midnight, while in Chlouvānem time it begins in the early morning.
