The [[Qumir Canals]] are a system of Canals in the country of [[Canespa]]. They are currently owned and operated by the [[Canasta Company]] but used to be completely controlled by the government. They stretch mainly around the two largest rivers in [[Canespa]] and the southern portion due to its fertile nature. The canals are less present in the highlands of Northern [[Canespa]] and the massive forests that occupy them. While the canals have had many eras the name [[Qumir Canals|Qumir]] has always stuck. The largest portion of the system is in [[Port Extranjero]] as it is where most of the canals converge into one massive one. | The [[Qumir Canals]] are a system of Canals in the country of [[Canespa]].

==== Ship-classes ==== | |||
One of the most common vessels used on the canals are floaters as they are called. Floaters are large plates that food can be piled up onto. These floaters are dragged downstream by boats and in some cases are just pushed by gravity. | |||

For centuries the [[Qumir Canals]] have been described as the blood vessels of the [[Canespa|Canespian]] empire. In an economic sense they are. The canals have been used for centuries to transport goods but since the modernization of the canal system they have been pumping out more resources then ever. The canals are often vary crowded but recently this has been being fixed through a new system. The food produces locally is transported through smaller vessels in smaller canals toward larger canals, then again those canals lead into an even bigger canal. This creates a system where there are different classes of vessels in each canal. Eventually leading into one massive canal heading for [[port Extranjero]]. Recently the canals have also been pointing out to sea where they are then transported to [[Port Extranjero|Extranjero]] through the ocean. Ultimately the canals don't use much more then gravity to transport resources around the nation, thus saving millions of dollars worth of fuel costs in an eco-friendly way. | For centuries the [[Qumir Canals]] have been described as the blood vessels of the [[Canespa|Canespian]] empire.

Around 80% of all crops produced in Canespa end up traveling out of the canals while 98% of all the food produced travels a portion of the canals at some point. This has lead to an almost complete reliance on the canals for large scale transportation. In recent decades in order to midigate the reliance on the canals a new fleet of trucks have been built to help spare Canespa in the case of damage coming to the canals. Although it would be highly unlikely that the entire canal system could be compromised by a country due to the massive scale of the network. | |||

The canals are vary popular among tourists. The Can-A-Vacation branch in particular is often used bu thousands of tourists ever day providing quality tours for them. In Canespian ads the canals are often featured heavily. They are considered the largest system of canals on the planet which additionally helps them gain credibility. Canal guide is a recognized and trained for profession in Canespian society. Canal guides often take religious focused classes as well as tour guide and foreign language classes. Tour guides can often speak 4-5 languages most of which are native to Levantia. | The canals are vary popular among tourists.

Aproximately 78% of tourists in [[Canespa]] are from [[Burgundie]] due to the countries having a small land border in port [[Port Extranjero|Extranjero]]. The country who has the second highest number of tourists in the country is [[Faneria]] due to small [[Faneria|Fanerian]] outpost colonies being a prime tourist location. Tourist locations include, the Abandoned [[Faneria|Fanerian Ouposts]], the Pyramid of [[Makuahine]], all the [[Great Pyramids of Canespa]], [[Canastapa]], the [[Southern Cities]], [[Port Extranjero|Extranjero]], [[Hamuq City Reservoir Crisis|Hamuq City]], and the [[Austro-Caldera|Calderan]] Ferry. | |||

The Qumir Canals are essential in the home defense of Canespa. They serve as a massive supply network for any forces defending against an invading army. The canals have been used in the past to supply valuable munitions and food to starving soldiers. In skirmishes between the Northern Confederation and Canespa the Canespans often used the canals as a large supply network that led them to victory in most skirmishes. In one particular moment Canespan forces were about to be overrun when a supply ship came barreling down the canal system saving the battle. Though there use is untested in modern battles the possibilities of the canals are endless. | The [[Qumir Canals]] are essential in the home defense of [[Canespa]].

In modern day the canals serve a whole new purpose other then being a mere supply chain for Canespian soldiers. The larger canals at the mouth of Extranjero allow warships to enter. This means that the power used in naval warfare can be replicated during a land battle. Though untested this method of combat is whispered about in Canespian planning rooms. In addition to the warship theory Canespa has another chip up its sleeve. The Maya Uywa can only be described as a beast beneath the depths. Operating on a seafloor crawling method the Maya Uywa can go undetected past enemy lines. it has the ability to pop up within 10 seconds and release a baragge of bullets behind enemy forces. Its largest guns are roughly as powerful as a battle tanks. It can completely mow through enemy soldiers with four mounted machine guns as well. in recent years unmanned versions of the Maya Uywa have been developed and are still in the testing phase. There are currently 17 Maya Uywa's, 10 of which are deployed at random points within the canal at all times. Though untested the Maya Uywa poses a threat to any enemy force within Canespian land. | In modern day the canals serve a whole new purpose other then being a mere supply chain for [[Canespa|Canespian]] soldiers.

Though untested the [[Maya Uywa]] poses a threat to any enemy force within [[Canespa|Canespian]] land. This creates a looming threat caused by the canals that any invading force will have to plan around when invading the country. Overall the defensive nature of the canals will likely assure [[Canespa|Canespa's]] survival as a state for millenium to come. | ||
