New Years Day 31

In Democratic Kampuchea, the a new calendar began with the year zero. That was in 1975. So for Polists, the New Year will be 31.

they are not the only ones with a different calendar.


The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s new year will be 96.
The North Korean government and associated organisations use a variation of the Gregorian calendar with a Juche year based on April 15, 1912 A.D., the date of birth of Kim Il-sung, as year 1. There is no Juche year 0. The calendar was introduced in 1997. Months are unchanged from those in the standard Gregorian calendar. In many instances, the Juche year is given after the A.D. year, for example, 27 June 2007 Juche 96. But in North Korean publications, the Juche year is usually placed before the corresponding A.D. year, as in Juche 96 (2007).
A calendar similar to Democratic Kampuchea was also tried during the first governments of the French Revolution, starting with the year 1, of the revolution.

Some of KPC slogans were a bit dreary, others were inspirational.
Here is an example of both. The first is inspirational, the next a letdown to a lot of people.
