Any cartesian grid system will probably do. If you set it to
epsg:27700 then it will effectively be an nrow metres by ncols metres
grid somewhere off the coast of Cornwall, UK. This is the British
National Grid projection.

 I think in raster package speak that would be:

projection(r)="+init=epsg:27700"

I also think there are official cartesian grid system codes in the
epsg database somewhere...
