Theory

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 log₂(3/2). The error is only about 1/22 cents. In light of having its perfect fifth precise and the step divisibly 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).

It tempers out the schisma, 32805/32768 and the quartemka, [2 -32 21⟩ in the 5-limit, and the gamelisma, 1029/1024, in the 7-limit, so that it supports the guiron temperament.

One step of 200edo is close to 289/288. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with any 2.3.17 subgroup mapping of 200edo.
