With less than 2 hours until the New Year arrived, the whole country was in a festive mood.
In the part of the world with advanced time zones, it was already the new year.
Just like the Britain Empire in Theo's last life (With the Greenwich Treaty), the Sakura Sea Empire with its mighty dominance over the whole world established that the Ground Zero Time Zone would be placed in Sakura City.
This meant that there were 12 time zones to the east of Sakura City, and 12 time zones to the west of the capital.
Even though the Azure Star had double Earth's size, it still followed the calendar and time of Earth. That's why Theo was surprised to see such a big planet with the same characteristics as Earth. He could not understand how could that happen, but he did not question it.
Elffire City was in the same time zone as Sakura City, so they commemorated the New Year together with the country's capital.
