So what?  I'm not particularly worried about 5% of the world using
nonstandard paper.  I'm sure they don't use (quite) half the world's
paper, so they're definitely a minority.  (I can't get US sized paper
either, but I'm part of the 95%, so I'm okay...)

Any book listing standard paper sizes....  I left mine at home.  Once
you know the size of A0 and B0, you can trivially calculate the rest
of the A and B series.  I can't remember if the C series (envelope
sizes) are quite as sensible.
