Do they have milestones in metric system countries?

It's been about 554 years since the death of the last Byzantine emperor in Constantinople.

It's been around 72 years since the Hoover dam was completed.

It's been almost 18 years since the Tienanmen square massacre.

It's been almost one year since I left Japan.

Two steps forward, one step somewhere else.

Second verse, same as the first:

A little bit louder and a little bit worse.

Darn good question. I can't think of a suitable replacement for the milestone. Kilometerstone sounds ridiculous, but a meterstone (or metrestone if you prefer) doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment.
