 A year on Mersia is 512.153 days. Usually, the Calendar will consist of 512 days, but once every seven years, a "Spare Day" is added to make up for calendar drift, and years which have a "Spare Day" added are known as "Spare Years". Because the fraction of a day is not exactly one seventh, once every fourteen "Spare Years" approximately once per century, "Spare Day" is skipped in order to re-align the calendar with the true solar year. In spare years, the extra day is the first day of the year, which is not formally part of any month or week. It is, in most cultures, treated as simply an extra day to celebrate the new year.
-The standard calendar is positioned such that the winter solstice falls on the first day of the new year.
