North American Free Trade Agreement (1983: Doomsday)

With the return of interstate and international commerce, several nations began to wonder about measurements, standards, and so forth. On July 4, 2000 the beginnings of what evolved into the North American Free Trade Agreement began as a series of trade discussions between Victoria, the Provisional United States, Utah, and Oregon. By synchronizing the weights, measures, etc. of various nations the barriers to trade were reduced as was confusion around what amount of goods meant what. While Victoria tends towards the metric system the conversion is readily available in almost any store thanks to a series of mass-produced posters. This is an independent agreement of the North American Union and (at least for now) NOT a monetary or economic integration arrangement, only a formalized agreement on specifics related to how goods and services are traded across borders. So far many nations have unofficially agreed to the system based on Imperial measurements though some of the Canadian remnant-states continue to prefer the metric system if only for historical reasons.
