The Caseic Federal Road Network

The Caseic Federal Road Network is the main road network of the Caseic Federation, connecting trade routes and transport across its many states. The road network has two designations for roads: major federal roads and minor federal roads. Minor federal roads are typically smaller and serve less-populated regions than major federal roads.

List of roads

Major Federal Roads

1 - The 1 road is the oldest and longest road in the network, connecting cities on the west coast from Jim to Canebrija. South of Abaye, the diamond symbol is used, whereas the octagonal symbol is used to the north. This is because it was originally two different 1 roads which connected together.

2 (South) - This 2 road connects Capa Gasti to Ibe-Jibin, the Federal Capital. It was later extended to meet the N road. This road is informally known as the "Major Capital road", in contrast to the Minor Capital road which also passes through Ibe-Jibin.

2 (North) - This 2 road connects Bainache to Bariyesa. The different 2 roads were built concurrently,

3 - The 3 road connects Canebrija to Framche

4 - The 4 road connects Famrat to the 1 road via Achearia

S - The S road (also known as the 5 road) connects Senje to the 1 road and to the N and M roads.

GNU1 - The GNU1 (Grand Nayela Union 1) road connects the G.N.U. capital, Framaja-Nayela, to the 1 road and to Ibe-Framji.

GNU2 - The GNU2 road connects Framaja-Nayela to the GNU3 road along the Central Nayela River.

GNU3 - The GNU3 road connects the cities on the west coast of Brenjia Bay. It runs from Jifanci to Ibe-Nayela.

GNU4 - The GNU4 road connects the cities on the east coast of Brenjia Bay, starting at Ibe-Nayela, then continues around the coast to Bainache.

GNUB - The GNUB road provides a shorter and more sensible route from Ibe-Nayela to Bainache.

B - The B road encircles the island of Brisa. It is disconnected from the rest of the road network, and is accessible from the island of Casea by the Nisi-Jiricaya ferry.

J - The J road connects Canebrija to Bariyesa.

M - The M road connects the cities in the mountains, namely Famrat, Framche, and Ibe-Framji.

N - The N road connects Ibe-Nacha to the 1 and M roads.

Minor Federal Roads

GNU2' - The GNU2' (GNU2-prime) road connects Framaja-Nayela to Senje. Because of deteriorating relations between the G.N.U. and Sencharea, this road is falling into disuse.

Jesfig Loop - The Jesfig Loop encircles Lake Jesfig, between the kingdoms of Esiga and Jasfeya.

Minor Capital - The Minor Capital road, indicated by the symbol of the Federal Capital, connects Ibe-Jibin to the 1 road and the 4 road.

Minor 1 (West) - This Minor 1 road connects the Minor Capital road to the eastern side of the 1 road.

Minor 1 (East) - This Minor 1 road connects Bainache to the Jesfig loop via Bachec.

Minor 2 - The Minor 2 road is a bypass of the northern 2 road which connects to the Jesfig loop.

Minor B - The Minor B road is a bypass of the B road which provides a shortcut from Nisi to the Brisa fjords.

Minor M - The Minor M road is an extension of the M road which connects to the Jesfig loop

Minor W - The Minor W road connects the 1 road to the GNU3 road.

Progress on roads - Liberia news The New Dawn Liberia, premier resource for latest news

President Weah: “When we commenced our leadership, the total paved roads in our national road network was only 745 km throughout the entire country, representing less than 5% percent of the network. Today, we have increased this number to 1,375 km, with an additional 436 km paved in the primary roads category alone.”

Love (cannot emphasis how much sarcasm there is in that word) that an official Canadian government response to high cellphone rates is to switch carriers.

Switch it to what? We basically have three companies since one was allowed to eat the forth (with the government saying it wasn't anti-competition and the company eating the other pinky promising they wouldn't jack rates up). Even the smaller companies have to rent infrastructure from the Big Three so there's only so much they can do if that rent costs an arm and a leg.

And that's not touching on how many "small companies" are actually just subsidiaries of the Big Three. You may save $5 but you're still with Telus/Rogers/Bell.

Or that the actual small companies tend to have shit coverage because they don't have the infrastructure available to them and are prevented from getting it. Or their traffic is throttled in favour of the Big Three's customers. Or both.

Or that they're extremely regional thus aren't an option for a huge chunk of Canada's population.

We have no true options and the government has shown time and again that they're fine with monopolies, in multiple industries, and don't care when said monopolies jack up prices to make shareholders and the c-suite more money at the expense of everyone else. At most there will be a verbal slap on the wrist and a giftcard for $25 that people have to register for, for a decade and a half of price gouging.

It's not talked a whole lot about outside the country from what I've seen and heard but Canada is a country of monopolies. A handful of companies own nearly everything, every province has a family or two that owns a hell of a lot (Nova Scotia is basically owned by one family at this point), and our government ignores it. Even the branch that is supposed to be against monopolies is fine with mergers and takeovers in most cases.

Because, you know, the company said it totally wouldn't use consumers' lack of options to increase prices.

Today, as Google Maps led me from the nice clean straight asphalt roads to take a "short cut" through 40km of dingy and frankly kinda scary dirt roads in the middle of nowhere forest with no living soul about, roads which were both frozen, snowy, slushy, muddy and covered in potholes and added about an extra hour to my trip and nice thick layer of dirt on my car, I had an idea.

Transmigrator getting their GPS highjacked by a System which then merrily leads them off the beaten path and into times/worlds unknown, with a car and various luggage/groceries/vacation stuff with them along for the ride. And the Transmigrator has no idea it's even happening before it's too late because it's not a place they know and GPS is supposed to know where they're going, right? And now their car is possessed by a System.

Like seriously, for about an hour there I saw not a single thing of infrastructure. I could've driven through decades of time and not seen it...

Rookie mistake is to believe your own character when they lie to your face.

That said, I don't think this is something that possibly could've happened as long as Roberts was still a part of the New Sequence. Her sense of self and identity were so tightly interwoven with her relationship to the Commodore, as his pseudo-son and the perfect Victorian officer following the Fall, that there was no way to extricate herself from that mindset. Even now, she thinks of herself with masculine language when thinking on that time and that relationship. No matter what happens, she was always his golden boy right up until his death. And only after she'd let go could she come to terms with who she is outside of that relationship, outside of her role in the navy.

I think the shift in her personality brought on by dawnburning may have also played a role in why this was buried so deeply. Dawnlight ego death had made Roberts more selfless, more focused on success of the group than any individual. She's had decades of practice at ignoring her own boundaries and own desires for the sake of the whole. Decades of habit she's still struggling to undo. What's one more voice? Especially when it's mumbling something she neither has the vocabulary nor experience to decipher. Easier to put on the uniform, the one she's expected to wear, because she has nothing else to put on.

Even now, she doesn't really have words for any of it. Roberts isn't entirely sure what she's doing. She's following impulse, trying to find what feels correct, what makes her happy. Her, and not anyone else. I'm not sure if she'd consider herself a woman at this point. She's deliberately not thinking about any of the implications, any of the conclusions, just what feels most right. And only time can tell where she'll go and what that journey will bring.

Sneckdown

The 99% Invisible City A Field Guide to the Hidden World of Everyday Design https://99percentinvisible.org/book/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneckdown

A sneckdown (or snowy neckdown) is a temporary curb extension caused by snowfall, where snow has built up in the road but not been flattened by traffic, effectively reshaping the curb. Sneckdowns show how the space is being used by vehicle and foot traffic, and may reveal points where a street could be usefully narrowed with neckdowns to slow motor vehicle speeds and shorten pedestrian crossing distances.

The term was coined by Streetsblog founder Aaron Naparstek in 2014,[1][2] popularized by Streetfilms director Clarence Eckerson, Jr. and spread widely via social media.[3] Other Twitter hashtags that have been used to describe snow-based traffic-calming measures include #plowza, #slushdown, #snovered and #snowspace.[4]

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at Baltimore and 48th Street, a sneckdown-inspired permanent upgrade to the pedestrian environment was made in 2011.[5] In the 1980s, some planners in Australia distributed cake flour in intersections to observe patterns of vehicle movement hours later.[4]
