Thasusa By Land Initiative

The "Thasusa By Land" Initiative is an international cooperation initiative between the nations of the continent of Thasusa to create a network of roads for foot and horse travel. It was announced by Bezuv Agamashuya I of Xarslasja and, as of November 28th, 2024, has gained the support of Cenroad.

Participating Nations

• Xarslasja (lead proponent)
• Kingdom of Kyaw Cen, and its road company, CenRail
• East Pua (ostensibly)
• Enkavak (ostensibly)

Naming Scheme

The road labeling scheme proposed by Agamashuya is as follows, as inspired by the United States Interstate System in real life:

• Roads whose net displacement is mostly on the east-west (x) axis end with even numbers, with numbers as low as 0 at the furthest south and as high as 98 at the furthest north
• Roads whose net displacement is mostly on the north-south (y) axis end with odd numbers, with numbers as low as 1 at the furthest west and as high as 99 at the furthest east
• X axis roads begin with a letter associated with the nation or city at their furthest west point
• Y axis roads begin with a letter associated with the nation or city at their furthest north point
• Each road also has a "full name" as chosen by its primary builders

Rules for Official Status

• The road should be passable by foot and by horse, and at least 90% on the surface
  • Any tunnels must be tall enough for horses to pass through safely
• The road should be well-lit enough to be largely safe from monsters
• The road should be at least two blocks thick at all times and free of potholes or other obstructions
• With the permission of a local government, a road whose planned route approaches a town, city, or naturally-generated village, should pass through that settlement

Coordinating Projects

• Imerchal plans to extend the initiative through Pòjaj
• Coldba (Cuba) also plans to extend the Freezeway network from Pòjaj, through Murbetia Basin, North Mountains, Sprutia, and Arctic Circle Counties, ending in Old Cuba.
