For reference, I'll say that the Panama Canal is 48 or 49 miles long (I forget), and apparently the Grand Canal in China exists and is over 1,000 miles long. Historically, however, it was a bunch of smaller canals that eventually got merged into one. The earliest parts of that canal date back to 500 BC.

Also, here's a peek at the flag I just finished making for the brand new Zaqiri Dominion. Behold!
