			==Other units==
			A d20/D&D mile ({{unit\|miD}}) is {{unit\|feet\|6,000}}, and thus apparently a fantasy equivalent to the {{unit\|foot\|6,076\|v=~~}} nautical mile rather than the {{unit\|foot\|5,280}} land mile.

			A nautical mile ({{unit\|miN}}) is one minute of latitude ({{unit\|'m\|1}} = {{unit\|°a\|1\|60}}), making Earth’s meridional circumference {{unit\|miN\|21,600}}. Since Earth is not a perfect sphere, the actual length of a minute of latitude varies between {{unit\|m\|1,813}} and {{unit\|m\|1,861}} with a ''de jure'' average of {{unit\|m\|1,852}} ({{unit\|ft\|6076.12\|v=~~}}).

			The original intent for the meter was to be one ten-millionth of 90° latitude, such that {{unit\|km\|40,000}} would equal Earth’s meridional circumference. The best measurements of the 1800s were slightly off and Earth’s actual m. circ. in standard meters is {{unit\|km\|40,008\|v=~~}}.

			From this one can extrapolate that a standard D&D fantasy world could be:
			# a {{unit\|miN\|21,600}} ≈ {{unit\|km\|40,008}} m.circ. spheroid like Earth,
			# a {{unit\|miD\|21,600}} ≈ {{unit\|km\|39,502}} m.circ. spheroid with {{abbr\|2½%\|2.4891%}} less surface area than Earth, or
			# a {{unit\|miD\|21,600}} = {{unit\|km\|40,000}} m.circ. sphere with D&D feet/inches etc. {{abbr\|1¼%\|1.2598% • 1 D&D inch ≈ 25.72 ㎜}} longer than standard feet/inches.

			: 1 ''million'' (∼mile) = 5,000 ''podes''
