[WIP]railroad/transit system/map in fictional slavic world

[Triplicate]

Within cities (though that's not on the scale of this map), there are still workers who commute. Agriculture still takes place outside cities. There are still mines and factories and... In summary, socialist governments are stuck with inequalities in geography and resources, and the transport system still has to get people and things where they're needed. Combine that with the same technology, and the transport solutions look awfully similar to non-socialist countries.

Some things could've gone differently. For example, socialist governments could've set policies of more distributed production, reducing the need for long distance freight transport. They generally didn't. Maybe it's just a consequence of centralized decision-making. Maybe (almost certainly) regional economic autonomy was deemed conducive to separatism.

The new map definitely looks more believable, if less immediately evocative. I'm trying to guess the geography. Hmmm... possibly an east-west mountain range between Brojimjesto and Ljovamjesto, otherwise there'd probably be direct routes from Pydjalek to Plocica and Zalino. That logic only makes sense for a small country (if at all); if the mountain range were longer, they'd build through anyway.
