Generally Accepted Measurement Standards

The Generally Accepted Measurement Standards (GAMS) is a crucial corporate coalition agreement that governs the uniformity of measurements, units of measurement, and the standardized shapes and sizes of tangible matter in the universe. As the planet of Vex transitioned into a hypercapitalist society, with the Post-Sovereign Economic Phase (PSEP) as the catalyst, the necessity for a cohesive and universally recognized system of measurement became paramount. This agreement was created to ensure efficiency, consistency, and fairness in production, trade, and infrastructure development across all sectors of the Vexian economy.

GAMS was established by a coalition of Vex’s largest and most powerful gigacorps, who realized the need for uniformity in measurements to facilitate global and interplanetary operations. Before GAMS, different regions and industries used varying systems of measurement, which created inefficiencies in production, trade, and technological integration. With the consolidation of power by the gigacorps, it became necessary to create a standardized measurement system that all entities, from small businesses to massive industrial conglomerates, would use to ensure compatibility in manufacturing, resource extraction, trade, and even space exploration.

This system abolished previously prominent measurement systems, including the Imperial System and various local systems that existed in different parts of the planet. The transition to GAMS allowed for global synchronization, with measurements and standards becoming universally applicable across the planet’s continents and beyond, even extending to interplanetary commerce.
