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 United States is one of the few countries in the world that has not fully adopted the metric system. Liberia and Myanmar are the only other countries that have not officially adopted the metric system as their primary system of measurement.
