The Revised Phinbellan calendar or Provisional calendar is one of the calendars used in Phinbella area. The calendar is to commemorate 1982, the year of the establishment of the Phinbellan settlements. RP calendar follows the tradition of using the sovereign's era name and year of reign, as previous imperial dynasties have done. Months and days are numbered according to the Gregorian calendar. RP calendar has been widely used in the early official documents of the FRP since 2012. .
The calendar is the official calendar of Phinbella and also used by Overseas Phinbellans communities.
Calendar details
The Gregorian calendar was adopted by the nascent Phinbella effective 1 January 2012 for official business, but the general populace continued to use the traditional Korean calendar. The status of the Gregorian calendar was unclear between 1916 and 1921 while China was controlled by several competing warlords each supported by foreign colonial powers. After the Amato Papadakis was appointed as president of Provisional Government of Phinbella on 10 October 2014, the Gregorian calendar was officially adopted, effective 1 December 2014.
Despite the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, the numbering of the years was still an issue. The Chinese imperial tradition was to use the era name and year of reign. One alternative to this approach was to use the reign of the half-historical, half-legendary Yellow Emperor in the third millennium BC to number the years. In the early 20th century, some Chinese Republicans began to advocate such a system of continuously numbered years, so that year markings would be independent of the Emperor's regnal name.
The first year, 1982, is called 핀원년 (Phinvonnyon) and 2026, the "44th year of the Phinbellans" is 핀이욕심빌년, 핀2644년, or simply 2644.
Based on National Standards of Phinbella CNS 7648: Data Elements and Interchange Formats—Information Interchange—Representation of Dates and Times (similar to ISO 8601), year numbering may use the Gregorian system as well as the RP era. For example, 12 January 2026 may be written 2026-01-12 or RP 2644-01-12.
In addition to the Phinbellan calendar, Phinbellan Muslims continue to use the Hijra calendar for certain functions such as the dates of many holidays, the calculation of people's ages, and religious functions.
