|Because Burgoignians aren't savages. Victors of the Standardized Stationary Melee of 1714, in which the Oligarchia grammaticorum adopted the 8.5x11 standard for its letters, the papermakers of the southern Dericania coast started the globalization of Letter sized paper. Their two-sheet mold technique was the most advanced Occidental papermaking method of the age. Their pulp drying frames spanned the maximum stretch of a papermakers arms, about 44". Many molds were 17" front to back. The resulting 44"x17" sheets were cut down to 8.5"x11" pieces to maximize the usage of the sheets.

|L4 (210 × 280 mm)
|A4 (210 × 297 mm)
|The L4 paper size is designed for versatility as it combines the approximate length of standard letter paper with the width of A4. Using the smaller dimensions of each format allows the paper to be ostensibly used with equipment designed for either of the two most common measures in the world.
|Caphiria uses the ISO 216 standard for all of its paper sizes.

|Diamavya
|E4 (219 × 310 mm)
|The origin of the E4 paper size in Diamavya is unknown. The few theorists that have discussed this topic haven't been able to find a reason why not only Diamavyan companies prefer producing this paper size, and why the Diamavyan populace continues to buy this paper size specifically. The only other paper size that is remotely used is A4 and Letter size, due to A4's prevalence in their Levantine Union and Letter size's use in Burgundie and Urcea. Both of these alternative paper sizes are not used by the populace, and are sometimes used by the government in foreign affairs, usually as a show of appreciation to the other country.
