As a counter-proposal to entirely using the metric system straight off, I would propose a duel system, with metric as the primary system. This is more to ensure that forenian products are able to reach the largest amount of people they can, given that a lot of the world still uses the imperial system.

[Sheb]

There is no single Imperial system. I propose we create a new Forenian Imperial system, where all units have size that make sense in metric (so a 0,5l pint, a 1 km mile, a 500 g pound and so one.)

[Taricus]

I'm pretty sure inches are the same all-round along with feet and such. Introducing a new system would just create even more headaches. Doubly so for the travesty you propose in making the pint smaller!

This system is alright with me, provided the pint remains 0.568L. It seems unusual that we would write our system of measurements into our constitution, but the politicians should have expected this when they invited engineers to help draft it I suppose.

I find it kinda odd that Moskurg is known for mechanical computers when they where developed by Arstotska... Ahwell.

[Sheb]

Yeah, but then Moskurg is also known for patent theft.

[Taricus]

We developed more computers during the war as well, what with the bumbebee and all.

Our computers were utilized for decryption and encryption processes. As such, they were probably hidden as state secrets.

The only thing that could be called a computer I see on your list is the AS-DC29 that processes the ciphers the Tiger's Whisper creates. If the DC29 is a computer, then the Tiger's Whisper generating the codes certainly is as well.

Also, targeting calculator stronk.

[10ebbor10]

The DC-29 was originally supposed to be a series of computers.

Anyway, the DC-29 is far more complex than the Tiger's Whispher. After all, it has to decode messages without knowing the passcode.

Both are mechanical computers. But certainly the Bumblebee is another type of computer. So Moskurg had two. Arstotzka one.

I can also see some serious sports rivalry. Eternal Derby anyone?

Absolutely not. The longer we keep the imperial system (even as part of a dual system), the longer we languish in a state of backwards inefficiency.

There is no single Imperial system. I propose we create a new Forenian Imperial system, where all units have size that make sense in metric (so a 0,5l pint, a 1 km mile, a 500 g pound and so one.)

A third system!? Sweet Mary mother of God have you no decency!?

I like this

[coleslaw35]

In all honesty, the fact we have to debate over the system of measurement shouldn't be an issue. Literally all it does is just slow the progress on the constitution. Does it REALLY matter whether we keep Metric, Imperial, or this god awful Impmetric or whatever? What role would this possibly play in anything? I just feel like it's a waste of time.

All in all, I am salty.

[Sensei]

You could, if you choose, simply decide that measurement need not be government-regulated, or put to popular (npc) vote.
