The USSCR has begun construction of a massive maglev train system across the entire nation. These will consist of eight tracks in total, four on top for civilian use. One set of rails is passenger, the other freight. The bottom rails are for military/government use and have the same configuration.

Har Land would like to take a moment an congratulate you on taking a step forward in peaceful science development, and not feeding to the fires of war.
Do you need assistance (money/construction workers/materials, FOC of course)?
Communist Rule

The USSCR would be grateful for any assistance. However, it has recently made a purchase of vehicles and is very low on funding and cannot pay for services.
The Doujinshi government has been considering installing a maglev system throughout our large nation. Please report us your results, as we are most highly interested.
Pwnica has wired 1 billion USD to Communist Rule.
We'll also be sending 20 APCs filled with engineers and workers.

The USSCR has expected plans of a 56% decrease in traffic, and a 64% increase in freight efficiency.

How will you be able to afford this? You have started a very large research center this month already...
Communist Rule
22-12-2003, 07:31
The USSCR has simply expanded the research center made originally to aide GeForce4 in a tank development. Further, we have only started and have not "purchased" the whole system yet.

Very very nice. and its probally not as much as building it for an entire reiogn.

The USSCR is looking, with a donation of course, to expand one direct rail line to another(other) region(s).

Can it go vertical? For our method (very large electromagnetic tubes) of bring stuff down from our ring is costly in the power way. We could connect it to our existing system (riding the rings rim).
Communist Rule
22-12-2003, 07:45
I'm sure its possible, but if your problem is power you won't get a much better result with having to power the magnets to haul something vertically..

Jet assist, perhaps..

22-12-2003, 07:46
Well for us you just need the magnets to stop it... But thats the same problem we have with our massive "grav-tubs" (they came with the ring, you like?) so I think I shall stick with those then.
(( Brilliant idea, Josef. Contact me on Messanger with any updates, or call if you need any help. =D ))

The USSCR is seeking donations towards its MagLev system which is designed to retune the whole economy, away from military and towards a peaceful commune.

How's the project coming along? I trust our engineers are performing their tasks as needed?

My fellow communist nation, I salute you for this endevour and I have authorized my nation to donate 1 billion USD to this worthy cause. Please let us know if you need more assistance such as workers or supplies.

The USSCR thanks a fellow Communist nation for its help and offers that a direct, one-rail high speed line be created between the two nations.

This sounds like an good idea, but, depending on the geography of our two nations, this route might have to cross over an ocean.

No matter, since it is maglev the rails don't have to be perfectly flat. Pontoons will perhaps work.

22-12-2003, 20:32
The ARSB sees it fit to donate $1 billion USD to the construction of this project and it wonders, since USSCR and ARSB are neighbors, if a joint project can be worked on, uniting the two maglev systems of each country (we would construct our own system and provide assistance to you, if needed). The ARSB has looked at upgrading its current rail system for a long while but has not had the time or motivation to do so, and this may be the perfect oppurtunity.

The USSCR's original plans intended to make this system region-wide, with permission of other countries.

Good. This will hopefully bring great prosperity to both of our nations. Our costal capital of Veracruz will be and great area to connect to. We shall begin construction of our portion immediatly.

Soviet Bloc wishes to announce that their Maglev system (Exact same as Communist Rule's, for sake of compatability) is complete. Beginning now is the transfer of freight and passenger routes to the new Maglev system. After this is complete, the Soviet Bloc Transportation and Freight Commission will begin expanding the systems to rural depots and small-medium cities.
