I found these imaginary measuring systems on my computer, dating back to 1998. I'm not sure I published them on earlier Mystara forums. I thought some of you might get a kick out of that stuff!
RW1/RW2:
these are Real World equivalents, one being metric, the other
Anglo-Saxon. Use either one or the other. RW1 and RW2 are not
meant to be conversions of each other. For that matter, many of the
units expressed here are highly approximate and listed essentially for
color.

(*)
Darokin's standard includes the Shires, Ierendi,
Minrothad Guilds, Heldannic Territories, and parts of Glantri. Likewise, Wendar's
standards includes most elven communities of the Known World.
Rockhome's includes dwarves (and gnomes.) Ochalea would also be in use in the Ethengar Khanates.
(**) A
dominion is equal to an eight-mile wide hex in game terms.
There's more. . .
