It's a problem no matter how you divide the year

That's why I propose changing the orbit of the earth, too

Not if you divide by 5. It gets you 73 days each.

Ok, but now subdivide the 73 day month-analogs into week-analogs.

I can see calling the month analogs "seasons", but 73 is a prime number so you're boned. We need subdivisions smaller than that for practical purposes

Don't subdivide the 73-day seasons.

Instead, subdivide the year into 73 5-day weeks.

A year made up of 5 seasons and 73 weeks.

13 months of 4 weeks + new year's day (+leap day) actually fits perfectly.

I wouldn't call having an unassigned remainder "perfectly". And always, leap day fucking shit up lol
