And in East Asia, we use a system based on exponents of 10000. I kind of like it, except when I have to think about it and the short/long scales at the same time.
10000^1 = 万
10000^2 = 億
10000^3 = 兆
10000^4 = 京

These do converge I think at 10^12 = Short Trillion/Long Billion Which makes for some non-frictionless translating since 10^6 and 10^9 are all in-between words, and 10^12 is not a commonly used number to count anything in everyday life.
