Time: North Torbia

This page is a section of North Torbia.

Overview

Time in North Torbia is treated significantly differently than other countries.  Simply put, time in North Torbia is rigid and strict; much like the leadership of the country.  One does not arrive late for anything, whether that be a business meeting or catching a bus.  The shame and repercussions of tardiness are severe.

North Torbia currently sits within its own Time Zone after it decided to return to its historical zone of GMT + 8.5 to commemorate the anniversary of their ‘liberation’.  South Torbia currently sits at GMT +9.0. 

Wedding Season

North Torbia does not have a standard wedding season. Most weddings, occur in the Dry Season, rather than the Wet Season.

Religious Holidays

Being an officially atheist country, North Torbia does not celebrate any religious holidays.  It does however celebrate key dates in the lives of its leader and his fore-fathers.  Maximum participation is expected from all personnel on these occasions, with gifts expected for the leader from all.  These gifts often cost many weeks wages and rarely make their way to the leader, instead being siphoned off by officials.
