Any circle could have its radius technically be 1, as long as you set the units of measurement so that 1 equals the radius of the circle.

Sometimes the units are given cute names like "wiggly waggly units" to make physicists cringe. Acknowledging a unit with cute names when the unit is not important is entertaining.
