Time Standardization Act
Preamble: Currently, legislation and legal documents often use time or time-frames, but very rarely define the Calendar, Timezone or other details of the time system. This bill intends to solve that.

(b) The official calendar of Azalea Isles shall at all times be the real-life Gregorian calendar.
(c) The first day of the week is Monday.
(d) The first week of the year is the week containing that year's first Thursday.
(e) The first day of the year is January 1st.

2. Fallback Timezone Definition
(a) Unless explicitly defined otherwise or automatically converted by technology, all dates and times shall be interpreted as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Enactment: This Act comes into force immediately upon passage and ratification.
