Number systems are usually based on something. Our number system is based on 10; this is because we have 10 fingers. If we had 8 fingers then our system would be based on 8. Then we would have a completely different system. In this system, 11 would come after 8 because 8 is the highest number in the system, so after you reach 8 you start over but you increase the number in front by 1.
