> This item mentioned and the current argument about metric reminds me of something we should address: the inherent "continentality" of Talossa. Is Talossa European, since Ben adopted British spellings (a fun conceit I enjoy myself) and quite a bit of ideas from European nations, or is she American, since many institutions and the majority population itself have always been American? Truth be told, arguments could be made for either.

> Personally, I see her as both, not unlike Canada, but not quite Canada. Anyone else have any thoughts? I feel that once we've defined THAT, then we can figure out all of the succeeding issues, such as which measurement system(s) to use, official conventions for other things, etc... What say you, people?
Talossa like Canada is inluenced by both American and European Culture... and I believe she can learn the best of both system. The istitutional system is an exemple of the co-exhistance of both, even if it's more present the Exemple of westminster style (government-parliament) rather than the Continental one. Instead the High Court is the perfect copy of the US Supreme Court.
But should remember to be "Talossán" and be inserted in a global contest. This means that, as soon as it doesn't affect the Talossanity, usable, understable and confortable by the most people. And this is why I support the Metric system, because it's understable by everyone in the world, laso by those who usaully don't use it.
