The World's Second Longest Railroad
6,500 kilometers is the length that the world's second largest railway system will be - connecting oil deposits from Afghanistan to Iran's oil and natural gas through the Ottoman Empire, connecting the Arabian oil to the Suez Canal.
In Europe, it would push through Bulgaria and hit up north into Ukraine, connecting West through Lithuania before arriving in Germany. This connects Germany to Romanian, Arabian, Iranian, Afghani and Azerbaijani oil supplies.
Invited countries called to invest jointly,
Ukraine
Lithuania
Romania
Bulgaria
Ottoman Empire
Iran
Afghanistan
The project is expected to be completed within 10 years but we project what would make this easier is connecting the lines (which would take two years) from Iran, Azerbaijan and to the Ottoman Empire.
The total projected cost is around 29 million but we hope if Iran, Azerbaijan and the Ottoman Empire can fund this with us (4 million RM per country) as well as all main costs it would be done quicker and easier. Domestic law would allow each nation to employ people to work on their own sections of the railroad, connecting them all under the same gauge.
If everyone were to work on this together, the projected time would be two years per nation, meaning if all worked at the same time, we could complete the entire project by 1940!
