Sure, but you get non-terminating numbers out of really common fractions in base 10. You have to go to less common ones to hit repeating digits in dozenal.

That still involves counting the number of digits, which may be nontrivial...also, it's the opposite sign from the number of digits, so that leaves room for OBOE confusion.
I use 1/5th and 1/10th far less often than 1/3rd, and about as often as 1/6th. Maybe more often than 1/9th though.
I agree on the flavour part. I disagree on the mechanics part. Have the policy have the same effects as the generic one and we have a deal.
I would entirely replace national ideas with policies like this. I don't understand why a deeply religious France should embrace liberté, egalité, fraternité. These could became permanent after a while (20-30 years of continuous policy?)
Yeah, flavour !
Let's dream a bit ; what if these national policies were unlocked the same way as the regular one ? In fact, their would be
no generic policies. Let's imagine that France finish ' Administrative ' and ' Innovative ' ; pop, she gets the ' Metric system
policy '.
How about that, lads ?

Since you invented it, now please design ~300 - 500 original policies for various countries. Each of them historical, balanced and interesting.

Why are people so concerned about balance? Unless you boost the benefits radically, any policy is going to be inherently fairly well balanced. Just increase the existing bonus by a modest value, or give an additional minor bonus. For example, the metric system one could have the same benefit as the normal weights and measures, but also a prestige boost. Or something like that.
Policies are an 'optional' thing: they reflect the player's desire to push the country in a particular direction, and you have to pay for the privilege.
Country-specific things are more of a 'historical setting' thing, that's meant to represent the country's 'natural' strengths. NIs and country-specific decisions already do the job here. It's not really a 'natural strength' if you have to turn it on and off depending on whether you're using it.
