200edo contains a [[perfect fifth]] of exactly 702 cents and a [[perfect fourth]] of exactly 498 cents, which is accurate due to 200 being the denominator of a continued fraction convergent to log<sub>2</sub>(3/2). ~~The error is only~~ about ~~1/22~~ cents. In light of having its perfect fifth precise and the step divisible by 9, it is essentially a perfect edo for [[Carlos Alpha]], even up many octaves (the difference between 13 steps of 200edo and 1 step of Carlos Alpha is only 0.03501 cents).
