Having a “remainder day” is weird, but it’s hard to avoid. It really sucks that 365 doesn’t divide nicely into much at all. 5 and 73 are the only non-trivial answers. five 73 day months? Can’t even call it a month at that point.
There’s always a remainder day, and it’s not precisely 24 hours. That’s why we have leap years and sometimes leap seconds. You could get rid of that by cramming all of the time into one day of varying length. This year, maybe it’s 29.75 hours. Maybe next year it’s 31. Astronomers and physicists could fight it out and see how closely they can match the previous year.
May as well embrace the weird, cuz we dont orbit in exactly 365 days anyway. So theres gonna be leap year type adjustments anyway.
1 odd day from 13x28 is the perfect excuse for a new holiday too. And avoids having to figure out is it a weekday or not. It gets to be neither, a unique special holiday not tied to religion, nationality, culture, politics, etc (though many oppose it for reasons within those topics).
speaking of leap days, I also considered using a quad-year as a unit, integrating the leap day as a standard day. 365.25x4=1461. But that only divides by 3 and 481, even worse!
The Baha’i calendar is 19 months with 19 days, and a 4 or 5 day celebration in between months 18 and 19. The year starts the day that coincides with March 21.
To add for anyone that’s new to this, January and February were originally considered not a real part of the year because everyone was hunkered down for the winter.
The Roman year originally started in March (the month of Mars) because that’s when the war season started. January and February were at the end of the year and originally weren’t named at all.
But at some point, the Romans had a problem with one of their politicians. He had a one year term. To get rid of him, they moved the new year to January. It was supposed to be temporary but somehow we’re still living with the results of that lifehack.

It’s not like the “we thought this guy was born on this day (we were wrong)” is a great system but at least it doesn’t randomly reset either like with the Japanese years
Or I hope it doesn’t. Probably would mean end times or something.
The Romans had a 10 month calendar that started with March. Then later they added January and February to better match the lunar cycles in a year. Hence the mismatch of the numbered months.
They had something like ten non-month holy days that the consoles were responsible for sticking in the calendar. This traditionally corrected for the drift. In the political turmoil leading up to to ceasar, this didn’t get done. When ceasar imposed the new calendar, he had to insert like 40 extra days to the first year in orderto correct this.
No, Finland becomes the Purge for a month, ensuring that only the strongest and craftiest Finns survive. If you see an old Finnish person, better respect them. They survived decades of annual battle royals.
