This is a general Ausonia-related sandbox thread. I'm probably not going to categorize this one.

Ausonian currency

Weight/mass

Traditionally, the Ausonian pound (livre) was defined as the mass of exactly ​170 of a Ausonian cubic foot of water. Various provinces, cities, and even guilds often had their own physical standards of measurement, many of which were not consistent with one another as well as the main standard used in Savonnes. It would not be until the late 18th century that the Savonian standard would be standardised using SI definitions and adopted universally across the whole Commonwealth.

ORTF

Basic structure (aka ⸘WTF‽)

  • Essentially a mish-mash of the German (ARD) and Dutch (NPO) public broadcasting systems
    • Comprised of both regional broadcasters that have separate facilities and member associations that share facilities with the regionals
    • Airtime for
    • Funding is by a mixture of television license fees, state funding, and advertising. Those then are split 50-50 between the regionals (by population) and member orgs (by number of members)
