United States. There are some references to Burma (now called Myanmar) and Liberia that I found, as well, but unspecific. In some industries, non metric quantities are still commonplace (and I believe legal), on a worldwide scale, such as 'barrels of oil', 'troy ounces' for gold, and carats for diamonds. In running, the official distance of a marathon is 26 miles, 385 yards. Even in the United States, there is some commonplace usage of metric units, like 2-liter bottles of soda, milligrams and cc (cubic centimeters) for drugs and medicine, and in running, 5k and 10k races are popular (5000 and 10000 meters respectively).
The metric system used around the world is the International System of Units (SI), which is based on seven base units: meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), ampere (electric current), kelvin (temperature), mole (amount of substance), and candela (luminous intensity).
Yes, the metric system is used in every country of the world except the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar (Burma).
No, pounds are not used in any modern system.
The metric system is used in all countries. It is the main system of measurement in every country except Myanmar(Burma), Liberia, and the U.S.A.
There are no specific states that use only the metric system, however on most things that are relevant (gas and food mostly), there are multiple readings, the metric is generally slightly smaller though. If you are referring to science then the metric system is always used.

The metric system is used all over the world.

The metric system (SI, to be precise) is used everywhere in the scientific community, and most of the units are used in practice in most countries of the world.
Because it is a sensible system used by most countries in the world.
