Comprehensive Imperial, or Princian Comprehensive Imperial, is an adaptation of the British Imperial system of measurement that is currently used by the Princian Commonwealth in coexistence with the Metric system. Many units are the same in the British Imperial system as they are in Comprehensive Imperial but with a few additions and some refinement.
