While terms last four months, many consider the "in game" time as being four years. What do you think?

Barnes is right. I always considerated Atlasian time goes 12 times faster than in real life. A Presidential term lasts for 4 years, elections for the "congress" every 2 years, just like in the USA.

That means Atlasia is 78 or 79 years old. As for me, I registered 14 years ago, so assuming you must be 18, I'm now 32.

Four months, since I'm not a natural abstract out-of-the-box thinker. But the four years idea is interesting and cool.

though it makes me 61.

Woah, if that were the case I would have been Governor of the Northeast for almost 16 years.  And I'd be 80 right now and still in politics since I was like 20, sick...

I've been registered 30-34 years, so I'm somewhere between 48 and 52.

I'm not much of an abstract thinker (funny considering I'm a Comp Sci major), so I have to admit I've never thought of "Atlasian" time like that before.

I like to think about it as years. I'm not sure exactly how old I'd be here, but I'm sure it would be pretty old. I would have spent roughly 8 years in the Senate, 20 years as Governor, and between 4 to 6 years as a Representative. Thats nearly 34 years in elected office.
