Metrico

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Metrico is a nation founded by Al Gore in the South Pacific whose culture is derived wholly on the now holy Metric System and its offshoots, like the 13-based measurement system, and measurement of straight lines using conic sections.

[edit] Ancient Metrico

Al Gore founded Metrio shortly after inventing the Internet. He was allowed such blatant political power after he won the president election in 2016. By some sources, the gods of the number ten exalted peasants to aid in Gore's holy mission to de-establish the maniacal Imperialists from measurement doom. This revolutionary spirit has been very much part of Metrican society; the spirit was so strong that any social progress, despite novel ways integrate measurement in sexual positions, proved to be futile for actual societal progress.

Prior to Texas Instuments, the ancient and very technologically unadvanced people of modern Metrico, arcane methods of the hand-and-toe was used to measure; "ten" was deemed correct by the god Metr. Prior to "ten", the Metricans used Imperial measurements, which, based on archeological evidence, was the bane of their very existence. Quite Horribly Ancient Metrico had extremely large sprawling cities (though, through new archeological evidence, was just large Hoovervilles), had an advanced communication infrastructure (though, new evidence points to the fact that communication was in the form of wailing messengers in multiples of tens to form letters) and had "women's" rights intact well before the so called Westerned World. But, with the adoption of the whimsical Metric System, Metrico's people began using their "digits" more methodically, and the once super society of the south was equivocally crushed. Many Metricans took up very degrading jobs like teaching high school math and honing there skills as cheap Metric converters.

[edit] Modern Metrico

Metrico as we know it incorporated at about 5 B.J. (1867), where revolutionary dictator Juan Olavar El Nunez (in lesser known circles, Sally), organized the broken factions of the Interdemical Quadratical Calculus Society, The Hirsute Squared Association and The Receipents of Lodi Orthogonal and Add-Armico-Aid. Each faction had it own view of grammar school numerical exercises, and each had it's own softcover "workbook" accompanying the standardized formula text book that made the Bluyiov Formula so so bloody famous. Sally sat each leader of each group, over tea, and demanded on one great country (and workbook) for which all Metricans can excel at the metrics, and the veraciously difficult converting from the demonic Imperial (Standard) to the whimsical and wonderfully French Metric System.

Pre-Metrico's warring parties agreed to Sally's demand, and yielded all workbook publishing under the newly formed country of Metrico (south of Jersey).

[edit] Metrico Today

Metrico today faces continuing over-population, and a crushing debt to foreign Imperialists like Jersey, and the land beyond the Hentai billboards. Metrico's economy, based solely on foreign exchange conversions, can barely support its own people. Many Metricans are migrating to Lodi, Jersey looking for work, converting 7-up bottles and teaching Lodi's young in the ever disgraceful Lodi School Districts Metric department (formed over over-immigration of Metricians to Lodi.)

[edit] Metrico Religion

89% of Metricans are hard-core Social Provisionalists. The remaining 11% refer to themselves as Remainder 11, ha.

[edit] The Metrican Problem

Metricans are crossing the hill between Metrico and Jersey illegally, by the billions, into the fertile Middles, looking for jobs, food and the usual UN requirements. Sadly, there are only enough calculators for 1% of the populus, thereby rendering the remain 99% to ranting and wandering the Middles reciting Jimmy scriptures and performing miscegenation acts with the local Orientalized Zombies.
