What's crazy is that it's not consistent by language. Obviously we have British/Aussie/Kiwi vs US/Canadian English, but the Spanish speaking world is also fractured.

And not even by otherwise closely related geographical regions. The Nordics, one of the world's most internally cooperative group of countries, have Sweden and Denmark using the ~~English~~ British system, and Finland and Norway using the ~~British~~ American system.

Edit: I'm a dumbass

Did you mean to say American for one of those systems? England is part of Great Britain.
