System of Units

[Gonddor]

A survey about your nation's system of units of length, weight and pressure. Do you use the imperial, the metric or an own system?

Gondor has the imperial system.

[Zartobania]

Zartobania strictly uses metric unit only.

[Gandoor]

Like other civilized nations, Gandoor utilizes the metric system as its sole legal system of measurements.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

Metric, but traditional ones are still used in public markets.

[The Atlantean Islands]

Atlantis officially uses the metric system.

[Gonddor]

Like other civilized nations, Gandoor utilizes the metric system as its sole legal system of measurements.

So America and my nation are in your eyes "uncivilized"?

[Olthar]

Olthar uses a system much like metric in theory, but we use an octal number system rather than a decimal number system. For convenience.

[ElectriKM]

We use a system very similar to metric, but slightly different in the names and the decimal system

[Destructive Government Economic System]

The DGES uses a mixture of both the imperial and metric systems, but we never use the Celsius classification to measure our temperature.

[Van Hool Islands]

The Van Hool Islands adopted the imperial system in a 1905 referendum, which set it apart from the rest of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which used the metric system. Before the referendum, the nation used the Dutch metric system, which differed slightly from the system used in other countries. The main draw for de-metrication was the amount of trade that happened with Australia and New Zealand, and it was argued that converting from imperial to metric was hampering trade between the other Oceanic countries and the Islands.

In 1968, the colonial government undertook a campaign to re-metricate the nation, and encouraged citizens to use the metric system in their day to day lives. Road signs were changed to metric, as was item packaging and things like stove ranges and thermostats. These days, there's a slight cultural divide when it comes to metrication. While the Dutch-speaking population have almost entirely metricated, the English-speaking population still hold on to parts of the imperial system. They measure human height in feet and inches, human weight in pounds and ounces, and they also tend to give informal distances in inches, feet, and miles.

[The Chris Empire]

Christos uses the metric system of measurement.

[Kenmoria]

Kenmoria uses the metric system.

[Fatatatutti]

The metric system is kinda-sorta our unofficial-official system. But we trade with nations all over the world, so we're capable of dealing in any system. Occasionally there are conversion problems but we're used to chaos. If somebody orders ten thousand milligrams of pineapples, it's probably a mistake.

[Tinhampton]

Grudgingly imperial... I say "grudgingly," attitudes have warmed latterly.

[Stroulia]

Stroulia officially uses the metric system for measurements.

[Gryphonian Alliance]

A version of the metric system that takes some stuff from the imperial system and has other alterations for consistency.

[NovaUtopia]

Nova Utopia uses the metric system.

[Estainia]

The Empire's official units of measurement are the Imperial Luciellan system. These are not the same as the British Imperial units, and I, the player, am still working them out mathematically. The Britannic System and the Metric System as are with all foreign things, considered to be culturally degrading and thus outlawed.

[Arthropol]

Removed for retcon purposes (2019-08-01)

[Bagong Luzon]

The Kingdom uses the metric system in all official discourse, converting Imperial units when applicable.
