Eurorail Phase 1 - European Union Transport Poll Results & Report
16 nations took part on the European Union transport poll, answering 4 mandatory questions and some which were not mandatory and were asked according to their answers on the previous questions. The results are the following ones:
Question 1: Does your nation have a rail network?
In Question 1, a 87,5% of the nations that took the poll (14) have answered yes to this question. Only 2 nations (Nofoaga and Eastern Haane), which represents a 12,5% of the answers, have said that no rail network exists in their countries.
Question 2: Does your country's rail network have connections with other countries' rail networks?
A 75% (12) of the nations have said there's no connection between other countries rail networks, while 4 nations (United Duchies, Inquista, Duxburian Union and Spain) have answered they do have foreign connections.
Question 3: If yes, which countries is your country connected with?
The United Duchies has foreign connections with North Diessen and Red Croatia; Inquista has a rail connection with Red Croatia; the Duxburian Union has a rail connection with Angleter and Spain has rail connections with Red Croatia, but no rail services go further than the mentioned country. The European Commission has also noticed of the Euro Tunnel, connecting Miraco and the Nine Dominions of Icholasen, which lands are occupied by the non-EU recognised Union of Nicoleizian Soviet Republics.
Question 4: Is your rail network developing at the moment?
11 nations have answered their rail network is developing right now, meaning a 68,8% of the 16 nations that took part on the poll. 5 nations (Inquista, Duxburian Union, Montenbourg, Nofoaga and Pravoslaviya) are not developing their rail network.
Question 5: If your rail network is developing right now, what are the goal of those works?
The answers have a wide range of goals: Some countries are modernizing their rail networks and remodeling their stations, other are expanding the normal and high-speed lines, and other are rebuilding or building new railways to connect with other countries.
Question 6: If it's not, why is it? Are you planning to expand it or develop it in a short period of time (maximum 1 year)
Only 4 out of 5 nations that answered "No" on the 4th Question have answered this one. The reasons given are:
A built out network.
The Inter-city travel mostly occuring by road.
Nation size being too small for a rail network.
No neighbours to connect with.
Question 7: Please tell us about your other transport networks in your country (Coach, Ferry, Airports...etc)
United Duchies: Airports in top 10 major cities and some regional , ferry links from all ports across seas , coach routes to all neighbours and between cities with multiple operators.
Leagio: Airports, Bus, Roads.
Inquista: Saint Dominico has 4 large international airports, an underground rail network, an overground tram system, and a public bus system.
Austria: The transport system of Austria is largely based upon train; however, a system of coaches does exist. However, it is largely used to connect smaller towns and cities, unconnected to rail, to those cities with railway stations. Services between largely cities, however, do exist. Austria's highways connect only cities with over 20,000 residents. All other cities are connected with only regional roads, between two to four lanes in width. Austria also has a developed carshare system. Individual car ownership is low; most people, as such, borrow cars when needed from a state-owned company. These cars are borrowed from centers found in all cities and towns in Austria; they may be dropped off at any center anywhere. A similar system is used for bicycles. Bicycle paths cover the entire country, connecting all cities and towns. Ferries, too, exist, transporting people along the lake in the east of the country; however, they are largely managed by more regional organizations, and thus are not well coordinated. There exist a number of airports, in Vienna, Salzburg, Graz, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, and Linz; however, few regional connections are offered.
Duxburian Union: An inter-city ferry system exists along the north coast. This does not currently serve international destinations, but the potential to exists. All major cities have at least one public airport, a local public bus network, and many have private regional bus connections.
Montenbourg: Airports and Seaports.
Fremet: Nationwide coach system, ferry system between coastal cities and continental Europe, international passenger travel almost entirely by air. Domestic air carriers offer shuttle services between Fremet's largest cities. Fremet's road network among the most dense in Europe.
Mennrimiak: Ferry and Airports together with the roads connect Mennrstad and Rimiakland.
Reitzmag: Road connections and airports.
Ruthund: Domestic travel is usually done by automobile in the rural areas. Rail is reasonably popular in the south of the country as well. However international travel is only done by ferry or airplane.
Spain: Lots of airports, highways with not many use (especially the Radiales in Madrid) and diversified coach service.
Nofoaga: Port Beauharnais Intl. Airport.
Angleter: Angleter has multiple international airports, a road network, some ferries across rivers and lakes.
Pravoslaviya: Pravoslaviya has a road network, ferries between coastal towns and cities and across rivers and lakes, and trams in most major cities.
Czech Slavia: Buses, Metro, Airport, Trolleybuses, Tram.
Eastern Haane: No transport exists in the country. Individuals must either walk along recently carved trails, poorly marked, to reach other cities, or take a rare military convoy,are generally not open to the public. An airport exists; however, non-civilian planes were so badly damaged from the war that none can get out. In parts of the country that remain controlled by insurgents, there is absolutely no transportation. Individuals must trod over bare, burnt ground, often entirely covered with bodies, in order to reach their destination. There exist many ad-hoc "highways" that lead out of the country, largely through underground passageways, which are daily traversed by caravans of thousands.
