Systems of Measurement

Reultan officially adopted her national system of measurement by an act of parliament in 1695. Except for science, the system is mandated to be used for all measurement needs in the nation, whether they be commercial, industrial, architectural, or even buying produce.

While there are dozens of other units used in the Tomhas Reultan System, only the basic ones for modern daily use are shown here. The Reultannach names for the measurements are first in bold, with the English name in (parentheses), followed by a description of each measurement.
