The Most Serene Republic of Baykalia, commonly known as Baykalia, is a nation that exists on the continent Aurora that has a large border with Xiopothos, exists south of East Malaysia, and borders Cathalrus. Baykalia exists between the latitudes S and S, and between the longitudes E and E. The nation, with a Nominal GDP of $ has abysmal income inequality, with the richest 6% holding 95% of the wealth. Baykalia is wedged between the countries Xiopothos and Cathalrus, with a small border with Kostromastan. Baykalia also has control of four islands that are located in the Caven Sea. The largest city Irkutsk and the capital city Chita hold approximately 82% of the population, Irkutsk holding 1,471,471 people and Chita holding 1,477,964 people. The small size of the country required the nation to innovate, and was the first to pioneer vertical farming on the continent.

The History of Baykalia is greatly intertwined with its neighbors Tuvaltastan and Kostromastan, and goes back as far as A.D. 200, beginning with the Ancient Kostuvians and their immense empire that encompassed central Aurora and a number of small islands north and south of the continent, as well as part of what is now modern-day Dragonia. The Kostuvian Empire existed for 1,774 years, until the three major culture groups (Baykalians, Tuvalts, and Kostros) began the Kostuvastan Civil War. The three culture groups, after the Civil War, founded the three nations Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia. To this day, the three do not get along, and it is not uncommon for there to be violent and typically bloody border skirmishes amongst the three.

1 Meter = 100 Centimeters

1 Centimeter = 100 Millimeters

100 Meters = 1 Kilometer

100 Kilometers = 1 Terameter

100 Terameters = 1 Exameter

Area

The base unit of area is the rotor, which is equal to 1 meter squared.

1 Rotor = 100 Centirotors

1 Centirotor = 100 Millirotors

100 Rotors = 1 Kilorotor

100 Kilorotors = 1 Terarotor

100 Terarotors = 1 Exarotor

Volume

Liquid

The base unit of volume (Lq) is the liter, which is defined as four times the amount of liquid that can fit inside the Human stomach.

1 Liter = 100 Centiliters (Colloquial: Ounce)

1 Centiliter = 100 Milliliters

100 Liters = 1 Kiloliter

100 Kiloliters = 1 Teraliter

100 Teraliters = 1 Exaliter

Solid

The base unit of volume (Sd) is the maud, which is equal to one cubic centimeter of water at its maximum density.

1 Maud = 100 Centimauds

1 Centimaud = 100 Millimauds

100 Mauds = 1 Kilomaud

100 Kilomauds = 1 Teramaud

100 Teramauds = 1 Examaud

Time

The base unit of time is the instant, which is defined by how long it takes light to travel 299,792,458 meters

10 Instants = 1 Second

6 Seconds = 1 Minute

10 Minutes = 1 Standard

6 Standards = 1 Hour
