The SI system is our weapon-of-choice for all measurement needs, due to its ease of use and simple understandability. While we do perform some international trade in the old Imperial units, we vastly prefer the SI.

We only use the metric system (SI, or Systemme Internationelle to be precise) officially. It is also compulsory for brand, copyrighted merchandise to state things such as area, length, capacity, charge, temperature etc to use metric.
At the beginning there was nothing except for Me and the Word. And then I used the Word to make everything. It was a fragile, entropic, continuously changing world that encompassed both light and darkness, sadness and joy, agony and ecstasy, sin and rescue. I looked down at that barely holding piece of mud, and it was good. I looked up at the entire universe, an unstable sandstorm of stars that would fade just as inevitably as the souls of man, and it was good. There was only one thing out of place, one thing that did not belong: Myself.

Sociopolitics: Pro-Intellectual, Pro-Science, Secular, Strictly Anti-Theocractic, for the liberation of PoCs in Western Hemisphere without the hegemony of white liberals

The Metric System is used - however, as a remnant of British Colonial influence, heights are frequently given in feet and inches. This is not official, but rather a colloquialism. Miles and miles per hour are also common - they are used on highways and roads, but meters and centimetres are used for day to day distances. This is the fumbled and confusing mix that Imperial and Metric cause when combined.
Look up my Factbook, it's snazzy
THE UNITED PROVINCES OF TULIJA
Tulija is a Great Power, renowned for its liberal culture and technocratic governance. It is a world leader in several areas (education, social mobility, HDI, GDP, lack of corruption, public services, technology, secularism etc.) and maintains an excellently equipped and trained military. Regularly topping lists of most desirable locations to live in, its freedoms and economic success are largely unparalleled. Internationally, its foreign policy holds substantial sway. If it were real:
Caeruleus wrote:It would be by far the best country in the world
GDP per Capita = $51,461
Unemployment = 3.2%
Inflation = 1.8%
HDI = 0.988
₳1 = $1.95
Head of State:
The Rt. Hon. Arch Minister, Arthur Kaylor
