"I'm 16, but in base 1, I'm 10000000000000000 years old. My ID just needs to be updated."

Since in base 2 you have two numerals that are (0, 1) ...

Then, in base 1 you would have only one numeral.
if it was (1) then you could write :
( , 1, 11, 111, ...)
With a sign (-) for negative numbers :
( ..., -111, -11, -1, , 1, 11, 111, ... )
