In the Owidura and Mulwani provinces, situated in the extreme east and west of Tapakdore respectively, there are highland climates. Characterized by cooler temperatures and significant variations throughout the year, these regions require crops that can tolerate not only drier conditions but also cooler nights and potentially even frost at higher elevations. Here, temperate fruits like apples, pears, peaches and plums are cultivated. Vegetables like potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots are also grown in these areas. However, all of these crops pale in comparison to the scale of the tea estates. Tea, especially Darjeeling, is the primary cash crop and backbone of the economies of the areas in which they are cultivated. Tea estates employ either directly or indirectly most of the communities they touch. | In the Owidura and Mulwani provinces, situated in the extreme east and west of Tapakdore respectively, there are highland climates.

===Logging/Mineral extraction=== | ===Logging/Mineral extraction=== | ||
Tapakdore's modern mining industry revolves around aluminum extraction in Owidura province. Open-pit and underground mining methods are both used to extract bauxite ore, which is then processed into aluminum. The state-owned Tapakdore Aluminum Corporation (TAC) dominates this sector but faces pressure to minimize its environmental impact. Lumiere Gems, a private company with international ([[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]]) expertise, owns the last two profitable sapphire and ruby mines in the country. During the latter half of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|Burgoignesc colonial rule]] most of the rubies and sapphires were mined out of the country. | Tapakdore's modern mining industry revolves around aluminum extraction in Owidura province.

Tapakdore uses [[Track gauges around the world|Standard gauge]], 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) as most of its rail infrastructure has been under the auspices of [[Burgundie]] and its sphere of influence in the [[Middle seas region]], who all use that rail gauge. | The infrastructure of Tapakdore is a mix of modern and developing systems, reflecting the country's emerging market status and its reliance on foreign investment. Significant improvements have been made in recent decades, particularly in the areas of transportation and telecommunications, due in part to investments from [[Burgundie]] during [[Operation Kipling]] in the 1960s-early 1980s. | ||
====Energy==== | |||
Tapakdore's energy sector is predominantly reliant on fossil fuels, particularly coal and natural gas, for power generation. However, there has been a growing trend towards renewable energy sources like hydropower, solar, and wind power, as well as biofuels, since the 1990s. The government has set targets to increase the share of renewables in the energy mix, but challenges remain in terms of financing and infrastructure development. | |||
====Transportation==== | |||
* Railways: Tapakdore uses [[Track gauges around the world|Standard gauge]], 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) as most of its rail infrastructure has been under the auspices of [[Burgundie]] and its sphere of influence in the [[Middle seas region]], who all use that rail gauge. Its network connects major cities and industrial centers. The system is primarily used for freight transportation, especially for agricultural products and minerals. Passenger services are limited and primarily focused on intercity routes. The railway infrastructure is maintained by the state-owned Tapakdore Railways. | |||
* Highways: The country has a relatively extensive road network, connecting major urban areas and economic centers. However, the quality of roads varies significantly. While major highways are paved and well-maintained, many rural roads are unpaved and can become difficult to navigate during the monsoon season. The government has undertaken projects to improve and expand the road network, with funding from international donors. | |||
* Ports: Tapakdore has several ports along its coastline, which play a crucial role in the country's international trade. The main ports are located at Tarigar, the largest city, and at Sarkar, the capital. These ports handle a variety of cargo, including agricultural products, minerals, and manufactured goods. | |||
* Airports: There are several airports in Tapakdore, including international airports at Tarigar and Sarkar. These airports are served by both domestic and international airlines, providing connections to major cities in the region and beyond. | |||
* Ferries: Ferries play an important role in domestic transportation, connecting the mainland with the various islands that make up the country. Passenger ferry services are primarily focused on domestic travel, but some routes extend to neighboring [[Tapakdore]]. | |||
=====Louage===== | =====Louage===== | ||
A '''louage''' is a minibus shared taxi in many parts of [[Daria]] that were [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonized]] by [[Burgundie]]. In [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]], the name means "rental." Departing only when filled with passengers not at specific times, they can be hired at stations. Louage ply set routes, and fares are set by the government. In contrast to other share taxis in [[Audonia]], louage are sparsely decorated. Louages use a color-coding system to show customers what type of transport they provide and the destination of the vehicle. Louages with red lettering travel from one state to another, blue travel from city to city within a state, and yellow serves rural locales. Fares are purchased from ticket agents who walk throughout the louage stations or stands. Typical vehicles include: the [[MILCAR#Trucks|MILCAR Jornalero]], the [[TerreRaubeuer_Motor_Car_Company|TerreRaubeuer Valliant 130]], and the [[Cross_Trucking_Company#Industrial_and_Construction|CTC M237-07]]. | A '''louage''' is a minibus shared taxi in many parts of [[Daria]] that were [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonized]] by [[Burgundie]].
