Timeline of the World
From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
This article is a stub. You can help NSwiki by improving it.
A list of events from around the world, this article aims to give some indication of what was going on within different countries during a same period.
Given that time passes in a rather bizarre way, Earth's timeline is subject to major quirks of logic, paradoxes and temporal anomalies in apparent accordance with the theory of its fractal reality.
