Far Eastern Rail and Road Association (acronym: FERRA) is an interŋational organization focusing on the development of infrastructure in the far east (Sea of Density, Gadicinta, this sort of jazz).
History
Founding
It was founded on 23 April 2025, by B’hiy’aj Dchâjâ, Aprux Mexyrhat (then Keis-Spucke Administration), T'anshilebs, Ḿaro and Wänade. Its forming was powered by the want to establish a transportation system in the Far East.
Pre-Server
Before the official FERRA Discord server was created, there existed a group chat, on which fundamental matters were discussed. Among others, in these chats, were discussed questions of the name of the organization, its scope of operation and what should it build towards. Naming of the Sea of Density and establishment of Exclusive Economic Territory also took place on said group chat.
Server
Since the creation of the official Discord server, the organization took a more systematic approach to discussing and passing votes. It votes on almost every matter concerning the organization, allowing new members, creating new lines and infrastructure, etc. . Members of FERRA also have economic, as well as diplomatic ties. On November 7th 2025, Inaccessible Island rail became the official FERRA bird.
Internal Workings
FERRA votes on almost every matter concerning the organization. Every vote needs an absolute majority of votes to pass. Then, by magic of democracy, everyone agrees to implement the passed votes. As always, everywhere, everytime.
