I'd need some number-checking help.

This is very, very heavy hand-waving here based on sketchy CCP planetary data. However, I have got the following data:

Caldari Prime has the orbital period of 5470 standard days, or roughly 15 standard years (assuming one year is 365.25 standard days).
Caldari declared their secession from the Federation on 22nd of November AD23155.
YC 0 is 23236, so from 23155 to 23236 there were 81 years.
Current year is YC 114. Total time since 23155 is 195 years. This is interesting, because:

The amount of days since Caldari independence is 195*365 + floor(195/4) = 71 223.
In "Caldari years" this is 13.0206581
The fraction means that on 2012-11-22 it's been 13 Caldari Prime orbit periods plus 113 standard days since the Secession. Let's start counting:

113 - 22 days of November: 91
91 - 31 days of October: 60
60 - 30 days of September: 30
30 - 31 days of August: -1
Therefore, on the 2nd of August, 2012/YC114, it has been 13 Caldari Prime years since the Secession.

If my calculations are right, it'd be time for some party party? It is a Thursday, though, so might need to move any event to a weekend.

Edit: I did actually notice one error: I had originally forgot to subtract one on 91 - 31, so instead of my original result of 1st of August, the day is actually the 2nd of August.
