Myanmar (then Burma) legalized metric for all purposes in 1920. Travellers report the signs between Rangoon and its airport use kiolometres. There is also a Burmese system of measures. I have not been able to find the legal situation in Liberia. I have the impression that external commerce is largely metric, while the government is still using U.S. customary measures.
