viikkojakuukauden

Viikkojakauten refers to a calendar system divided into weeks and years, similar to the Gregorian calendar used internationally. The key difference lies in how the weeks and years are structured.

In viikkojakauten, each year is divided into quarters, rather than months. These quarters are composed of 13 weeks each, resulting in a total of 52 weeks per year. The extra week is accounted for by having a few extra days at the end of the year, usually in the form of a shorter week or orphaned days.

This system is cultural and utilitarian, as people in Finland and some other regions have opted to use it due to the impracticalities of tracking two different calendars. In areas where English speakers are a majority, it can often be adopted less, but locals have noted that practically all shared calendars on the computer, phone, web etc will recognize it.

The cultural influence of this is not explicitly covered in major historical events. The year calendar essentially is used all over, any time people would previously favor shorter terms under cycles.
