[b]The Illesian Capitol of Regoth, The Presidium, Military High Command[/b]

	The Illesian architectural designer Bjon Yjnkle sat pouring over a series of schematics in front of the both the Marshall Triumvirate and Naval Triumvirate of Illesia, nestled away within the massive 'Presidium' in Regoth, the primary government building housing nearly all the high-level committees that ran the country, explaining his design, "As you can see here, here, and here, there are enough dorms and instructional buildings available to facilitate the training of a class of up to 1,000 cadets per year, though I do believe that amount is rather unnecessary at this time, but it meets the design requirements."

	"It's future proofing, Mr. Yjnkle. Continue."

	"Alright. The design harkens back to older styles of architecture, with stone faces on the outside, wood on the inside. The idea is to represent the ever-present Kingdom of Illesia, standing constantly against the sands of time. Most of the buildings are arranged in a wide circle around the field ground for exercises, with ranges for artillery and marksmanship extended outward from the circle of buildings. The circle is also a representation of infinity essentially."

	"Yes, yes, it looks fine. All in favor?" There was a chorus of ayes and then the slamming of a stamp upon paper. Construction on North Point, what was to be Illesia's premier military academy, began not long after when the construction company Construcciones Pinnacle won the bid to construct North Point. They were fairly capable, though not the best and most expensive construction company that had offered to take the job on, but accomplish it they would.

	Not far away, five men were standing over a map of Illesia, having just been endowed with a fund of 5,000,000 cesars to work feverishly towards expanding the lackluster network of well-built roads within Illesia. After a few days of negotiation and debate with their chairman Allister Fitzgerald having been forced to break a number of ties when the Committee on Infrastructure became deadlocked, they finally generated the following map of Illesia that would be followed with regards to what future roads had priority.

The legend for the Cross-Country Highway Project is as follows:
-Red lines mark pre-existing well-paved roads.
-Phase One is marked by light green, which seeks to extend the current network to numerous other large cities, stretching the paved road network from Juliad to Levandre.
-Phase Two is marked by dark green.
-Phase Three is marked by light yellow.
-Phase Four is marked by dark yellow, which is notable for finally connecting all major cities of Illesia to the paved road network.
-Phase Five is marked by teal wherein all remaining minor cities are connected to the paved road network.
-Phase Six is marked by purple, and seeks to make some routes shorter and more deeply interconnect the cities of Illesia with paved roads.

	Allister was finishing up some paperwork as his old voice carried through the room, "So we are agreed then? This Committee will initiate Phase One and bids to construct those roads will be taken from construction companies?" There was a small chorus of ayes, the sound of yet another stamp hitting paper, as the Cross-Country Highway Project as the Committee on Infrastructure had begun to call it got underway. Within days and weeks, bids started rolling in that the Committee filtered for quality, experience, and price, and soon enough, work would start.
