Traditionally, the three countries listed as not using the metric system are 
the USA, Liberia, and Burma (Myanmar). 

I just learned that Belize is also in that camp. From the Huffington Post: 

Belize's court system is based on British common law, familiar to most of us. 
And unlike the rest of Latin America, measurements here are in inches, feet, 
miles, and acres -- so no metric conversions are necessary. 

And from Frommer's Fast Facts: 



Measurements -- English measurements are the norm in Belize, although the 
metric system is making slight inroads. 
However, it does sound like Burma and Liberia are making some moves towards 
metric, which I presume leaves the USA and Belize as the last die-hard 
holdouts!
