Federalist system of units: Difference between revisions

In the states of South Kirav - [[Andrēdan]], [[Issyria]], [[Korlēdan]], [[Trinatria]], and [[Valtéra]] - there was widespread opposition to the Federalist system at the time of its establishment. These states had, for the most part, already codified their own official systems of measure, and rallied against what was seen as another Northern imposition. In [YEAR], the Southern states harmonised their official measures under the Southern Weights & Measures Compact, and continued to exclusively use Southern units for domestic purposes until the 21110s-20s, when Korlēdan embarked on a process of gradual adoption of the Federalist system and Valtéra began permitting the use of both systems in parallel. Over the years, some Southern governors have made efforts to ban or restrict the use of Federalist units in their states and defy Federal requirements for the use of Federalist units (e.g. in aviation), however these policies have inevitably proven both practically untenable and constitutionally impermissible, as have similar efforts to require Southern units on consumer products. Nonetheless, use of Southern units in everyday life and (where applicable) for official business remains vigorous from eastern Korlēdan to Trinatria, especially in rural areas, where many people have limited familiarity with Federalist units. In Valtéra, there is a strong urban-rural divide with regard to measurement, with Southern units used only informally in the cities but predominating in the countryside.
