How do they measure age on Venus, and how does a Venus year compare to an earth year?

Adam, they'd call their loop around the sun a year, just like us. Years though would be only 8 months long. The comparison of Venus years and Earth years don't quite match up that perfectly, but as a rule of thumb, take somebody's age in Earth years, multiply it by 1.33, and you'd get their age in Venus years. (I'm 47. In Venus years, I'd be 62).
Someone is a legal adult in New Berlin at age 24. Which is the equivalent of 18 on our world. Lots of places would see someone as an adult at 20 (because of the appeal of the round figure). That's the same as 15 on Earth. (Fitting for a Victorian society...)
