13 months of 28 days with an extra holiday at years end, it works so much cleaner than what we use.

That's just what Big February wants you to think.

Yeah, but then how could we make the important months longer than the rest? That would really piss off Julius and Augustus.

Slightly more sensibly, 12 months is easier to synch to the seasons, and calendars are very important to agriculture. 3 months for each season is convenient.
