Please ignore the name being Derthalen. I reused this from another thing.

The population of the Raikh can be broken down into the following percentages by class:

• 1,92% Upper Nobility
  
• 4,48% Lower Nobility (or Burghers)
  
• 27,28% Freemen (Craftsmen, Merchants, Clerks, et cetera)
  
• 53,6% Peasantry
  
• 11,16% Serfs
• 1,56% Slaves

Of the population, half of them are above the age of 37 while the other half is below. This is the highest average age recorded in history, which can mainly be attributed to an increase in medical knowledge over the last century.

Further more, according to the Hebithdräkhskapiz af Kreg, approximately 13% (7.516.950) of the population is currently in a sufficient mental and physical state for immediate conscription and mobilisation in the event of war.

Here we have the calendar most commonly used by the Freemen and those who live within the cities; this system was originally devised by merchants and others who do business transactions throughout the year. It is a based off of both the lunar cycle and the solar cycle, and uses days and weeks. As it is a lunisolar calendar, every month represents a full moon cycle and this creates the need for leap years as to correct for the inaccurate nature of the system.

The calendar year features twelve lunar months of twenty-nine or thirty days, with an intercalary lunar month added periodically to synchronise the twelve lunar cycles with the longer solar year. These extra months are added seven times every nineteen years, which means that the third, sixth, eighth, eleventh, fourteenth, sixteenth, and nineteenth years will be leap years. The beginning of each lunar month is based on the appearance of the new moon. The date is usually written as the [ordinal day] of the [month] of [year] or 04/11/2017.

The year is based off of the founding of the Raikh, traditionally given as thirteen-thousand years ago. The first month of the year is the month that contains the Spring Equinox, called March by most outlanders. Due to dialectal differences with regards to the names of months, there has been a recent shift in towns and cities towards referring to them by ordinal designations rather than the more traditional names for them, as such most official documents will bear the traditional name and ordinal in abbreviations.

Bearing in mind that the Raihk uses base twelve numbers, the year 2020 (as reckoned by the outlanders) would amount be equivalent to 76↊↊/76↊↋ (13090/13091) in the Raikh.

The week consists of 6 days, meaning that a regular year has 59 weeks, a leap year 64, and a long leap year 65. The Raikh gives 50 days of holiday time to people to be distributed at will, with Fridays off and Sundays half days. This amounts to 138,5 days of holiday time in total a year, not counting leap years which have 146 days of holiday, long leap years which have 147,5 days of holiday time, and great leap years which can have either 146 or 146,5 or 147 days of holiday depending on when in the great cycle they are. The days of the week are named Sunnosdag, Menasdag, Tiwsdag, Wotansdag, Þunrsdag, and Frigasdag, going in that order.

Each year falls within a cycle, which is thirty-eight years long. Each cycle falls within a great cycle, which is six cycles long. The first day of a great cycle should be the 7ja af Hauhkunomenoðs and a Sunday, as the 7ja af Hauhkunomenoðs of 1 was also a Sunday. The 7ja af Hauhkunomenoðs (20th of March), 7631 (1926/1927), should be the First Day of the First Year of the Three-Hundred and Forty-Third (343rd) Cycle and the First Year of the First Cycle of the Fifty-Eighth (58th) Great Cycle.

Every nineteenth year is a long leap year with 390 days, every one-hundred and twenty-fourth year is a spare leap year with 384 days, and every thirty-eighth year is a great leap year with 385 days. This is in comparison to a regular year, which is 354 days long. Should a spare leap year fall on an already existing leap year, it is done on the year prior but is counted from the year it should have fallen on.

Whilst the Merchants' Calendar is the most commonly used, it is worth noting that it is not the only way of reckoning the date. The next most common way of doing so and the way that is most common in the rural parts of the country, would be People's Way. Whilst the names of the months remain in line with regional differences, they are often times not used and calling this a single form of time keeping is a tad misleading. In reality, it is a collection of various local traditions which share commonalities to one another, but vary from place to place.

The most common way in which the date is given, is through stating the ordinal day of the season, followed by the regnal year. 'The Sixty-Eleventh (83rd) of Winter, in the Second Year of Vauhoks.' would translate to the Thirteenth of December, A.D. 2020 in the Gregorian Calendar or the Twenty-Fourth (28th) of Brunsingmenoðs, 76↊↋ in the Merchants' Calendar. As with all things though, this may vary. The regnal year used can be that of a local lord or they could instead reference an important historical event. It should be noted, that besides using the months and seasons, some use fixed holy days as points of reference for giving the date.

As Recorded by the Hebithdräkhskapiz af Lisnojaning

The tea plant was originally brought to the Raikh approximately 2.000 years ago by early traders from the continent of Testonya. Due to its energising properties, the cultivation of the plant quickly became quite popular and people began to experiment with its usages. Its applications ranged from a chew, to a medical gauze, to even a type of food said to increase one's vitality. Starting in 6↋60 (A.D. 953), due to extensive crop failures and widespread crop destruction by insects, tea became an extremely valuable commodity which was almost unaffordable for the peasantry, and as such led to people developing interesting new ways of enjoying the plant; the most popular of which was to roast the leaves before boiling them in water so as to create a Laufdrigkan (tea infused drink). This started off the extremely rich Hundisch tea culture. From there, the practice of boiling the leaves with other plants and substances became quite common, as tastes changed and grew. Due to the historical lack of cheap sugar, most people would add jams and honey into the tea so as to give it a sweet taste, which also came with the added benefit of creating a more fragrant smell and complex taste.



The resulting beverage should appear similar to this:



Another commonly consumed drink is referred to simply as Laufdrigkan, though in some areas it is Kaldslaufdrigkan. It is commonly served in the afternoon during the summer.

• Again, you will be expected to properly boil a kettle of water, and to pour it into the pot you intend to use. Once done, you are to let it sit for a minute before emptying the water out of the pot.
• Secondly, you are to now fill half a steeper with a gentle afternoon tea blend, and to also fill the pot with flowers, lemon grass, or any other light plants which you like. Popular options tend to be rose petals or orange peels, as their flavours are quite distinct, but do not overwhelm the flavour of the tea.
• Thirdly, you are now to pour freshly boiled water into the teapot. The tea should be allowed to brew for five minutes, but may be brewed further depending on your tastes.
• Fourthly, you are now to remove the steeper from the pot, and to carefully pour the contents out into a jar or other such vessel. Once done, it should be refrigerated for three hours, though it is also acceptable to keep it at room temperature.
• Finally, you are to pour the drink into a cup and to serve it with sandwiches or small pastries. Adding anything to the drink such as jam, sugar, or milk is considered incorrect.

The resulting beverage should appear similar to this: 



Finally we come to the tea most often drunk by workers and soldiers, but also popularly consumed during the cold winter. That is of course Dunkalhaitlaufdrigkan.

• Firstly, you are expected to fill the interior of the boiler with clean water. Cleaning of the interior is only needed once every month.
• Secondly, you are to fill the interior pipe with solid fuel.
• Thirdly, you are now to ignite the fuel and to allow it to boil the water. While waiting for this, you should prepare a teapot with a tea concentrate within it. Be sure to rinse the teapot just as instructed previously here as well.
• Fourthly, once the fuel has been spent, you are to removed the smokestack and to place the teapot in its place. It should stay there for five to ten seconds.
• Fifthly, now remove the pot and add in the boiled water using the tap. You must quickly stir in two tablespoons of the best strawberry jam you can find. The concentrate must be allowed to steep for at least fifteen minutes. Please take the time to ensure that the mixture is approximately a one-to-ten tea-to-water ratio.
• Finally, pour mixture into teacups and add milk and further sweetener to taste.
• Bonus tip: Create an endless pot of tea by keeping at least half the tea concentrate in your teapot, and simply adding more boiling water and jam to keep the tea going for up to three hours.

The resulting beverage should appear similar to this:



Side note: It is important to note that it is quite common for people to chew and eat the tea leaves after drinking tea and that in the Raikh, tea drinks are traditionally served chilled as the default, hence why if you simply ask for Laufdrigkan, you are more likely than not to receive it with ice in it. In some areas, this has changed due to foreign influence, but in most it has not.

None of these designs are mine alone. You can use them if you want to, I do not care. It is unfair for me to claim these as mine and say no one else can use them without my permission, as I did not make them or design them.
