Depends on your definition of used. Metric is typically used in official documents and announcements. However, in everyday discussion, one i more likely to hear Imperial. Both are taught in public schools.

We use Metric and Imperial for equal usage. For example it is required for pancake mixes (among others) to highlight both F and C

Yes, our nation uses the best system, as all civilised nations do.

Although all official measurements, such as speeds recorded in the annual Gargamelian Chicken Race, use the metric system, equivalents in imperial units are sometimes given in brochures and factbooks as a gesture of courtesy towards diplomats and tourists from less developed nations.

Delionera pride itself to be one of the more civilized nations by using the widely-acknowledged metric system, instead using something more "barbaric" like feet, or inch.

Dtin uses the metric system throughout the country. However, in special cases, for example royal documents, the Royal Standard System (Wông-Sìp Bpâo-Chún), which uses units of measurements like the Lungthaman (1 Lungthaman=1.96 cm2) and the Kralung (1 Kralung=2.12m) is used.

We use metric and standard. All measurements must have the dual format. All measurements are in metric, imposed above standard. For any disputes, metric is supreme.

For example on an odometer, you'll see 'km/h' above 'mp/h'. Road signage has 'km' above a smaller 'mi'. A one kilogram bag of coffee grounds will say '1 kg' with a smaller '2.2 lbs' below.

Have fun with it does use metric units.

Nation no longer reflects my actual views. And I don't do the above nation games anymore, so I can probably get rid of that disclaimer.

If I cross a line, telegram me. Chances are, I didn't realize it.

The Islamic Queendom has only used the metric system as it's only official system of measurement.
We are NOT a theocracy
We are a PMT Middle Eastern nation ruled by Princess Jasmine. (Don't ask how we're a Queendom) Our national population is 22 million and our official religion is Islam. Contrary to belief, we are much more liberal than most other Middle Eastern nations.

gwarchbyd uses metric as it's basic standard for all measurements, but most citizens are taught to convert between metric and imperial measurements for use in situations where imperial is useful (such as measuring a pint instead of 586.26ml)
when dealing with scientific data SI units are generally used.
as for time we use both 12 and 24 hour clocks mostly depending on prefrence but 24 hour is the most common

most citizens in gwrachbyd are capable of converting between the three systems with relitive ease with metric being the most common used in schools and everyday life, with imperial mostly only exsisting on older cookbooks and in certain industries (such as brewing, grocers ect) while SI units are taught is science classes and often used in manufacturing and scientific industries
