Something like that...

The 1st year of the "Republic Era" was 1912. Therefore, 2004 is "the 93rd year of the Republic Era" (民國93年). As far as I know, that's Taiwan only. There have been some moves in the legislature to abolish it in favor of the Gregorian calendar... but I'm not sure of what became of it.
