If a hypothetical Country that had never had electricity decided to electrify, what voltage would they choose? If i was in charge I'd be pragmatic & choose 230 volts AC. However if I wanted to protect my fledgling electric gubbins manufacturing industry I'd choose 180 volts DC. I'm surprised France didn't choose that voltage with their history of 819 lines, positive modulation/AM sound 625 lines, SECAM colour & yellow headlights, lol...
