Universal Unit System

In 77PC, the Ring of Progress, an international scientific organization spanning from La Rossa to Tietero, declared a list of units which could theoretically universally be adopted by any island. To do so, it used common reference points present across the islands of the archipelago in order to provide a system understandable to as wide a reach of people as possible. RoP units have been implemented in school systems side-by-side with local units, though they mostly remain used in international scientific communication. The RoP's guidelines require all scientific articles published in member countries to contain a Tieteran language translation.

Below are all of the current units used by the RoP, alongside real-world conversions.

All of these units are subject to change.

Mass

The units of mass are based on objects. These are mostly human-made, conflicting with universality somewhat. However, it was decided that they were ultimately common enough among developed nations of the world to use in scientific communication.

Universal Units Composed of Metric Units (IRL) Imperial Units (IRL)
1 shell 32 Grams 1.12 Ounces
1 (ink)well 100 shells 3.2 Kilograms 7.05 Pounds
1 bell 1000 wells 3.2 Tonnes 7040 Pounds, 3.52 Tons

Length

Universal Units Composed of Metric Units (IRL) Imperial Units (IRL)
1 finger 1.8 Centimeters 0.7 Inches
1 hand 10 fingers 18 Centimeters 7.1 Inches
1 foot 2 dicks 30 Centimeters 11.8 Inches
1 man 10 hands, or 6 feet 180 Centimeters 70.8 Inches, 5'9"
1 dick 15 Centimeters 5.9 Inches

Temperature

The temperature scale is based on two reference points. 0 is the freezing point of water, while 10 is the average human bodily temperature. It is assumed that the human body temperature is the same in Attu as in IRL.

Universal Units Metric Units (IRL) Imperial Units (IRL)
0 Degrees 0 Celsius 32 Fahrenheit
1 Degrees 3.7 Celsius 38.6 Fahrenheit
2 Degrees 7.4 Celsius 45.3 Fahrenheit
3 Degrees 11.1 Celsius 51.9 Fahrenheit
4 Degrees 14.8 Celsius 58.7 Fahrenheit
5 Degrees 18.5 Celsius 65.3 Fahrenheit
6 Degrees 22.2 Celsius 72.0 Fahrenheit
7 Degrees 25.9 Celsius 78.6 Fahrenheit
8 Degrees 29.6 Celsius 85.2 Fahrenheit
9 Degrees 33.3 Celsius 91.8 Fahrenheit
10 Degrees 37 Celsius 98.6 Fahrenheit
27 Degrees 100 Celsius 212 Fahrenheit

Time

No measurement of time exists yet. You can be vague, but using hours and seconds is still usually the most intuitive, and you can probably get away with it.
