====Seasons across the Inquisition==== | |||
Due to the huge territory and climate variety of the Inquisition, seasons vary a lot throughout the nation. Since the Kaiṣamā era, the administrative seasons used in all of the country are the four standard ones, i.e. autumn/winter/spring/summer. These are used in most non-climate-related contexts (thus for example administrative and non-agricultural economic planning), defining them not using climate but using astronomical solstices and equinoxes for the northern hemisphere, where the vast majority of the country and an even greater share of population lies (areas in the southern hemisphere are mostly climatically seasonless anyway). The northern autumn solstice is furthermore coincident with the first day of the year.<br/>The terms for the four seasons normally used are Toyubeshian loanwords. | Due to the huge territory and climate variety of the Inquisition, seasons vary a lot throughout the nation.
