The '''Grand Vandarch Canal''' is an artificial sea-level waterway in the [[International Canal Zone]] in northern [[Levantia]] adjacent to [[Faneria]], connecting the [[Kilikas Sea]] to the [[Vandarch]] through the Ereglasian Isthmus. In [[1959]], the canal and its route were narrowly approved by a [[League of Nations]] resolution. Construction of the canal lasted from [[1959]] to [[1975]] and took place under the regional authority of [[Yonderre]]. The canal officially opened on 17 November [[1975]]. Its length is 225 km (140 mi) including its northern and southern access-channels. In [[2020]], more than 18,500 vessels traversed the canal (an average of 51.5 per day).
==History==
From the [[Carolina Grand Canal]]'s opening in [[1880]] until the Aburvrigeen Canal's opening in [[1975]], the nations along the [[Carolina Grand Canal]] enjoyed a monopoly on maritime shipping to the landlocked countries, and major port cities of the Vandrach. Because it was controlled by and run through the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]'s countries of [[Urcea]], Kronenia, and Hollona and Diorisia it gave the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Empire]], and [[Urcea]] specifically, a disproportionate level of economic power in that region. The beginning of the Aburvrigeen Canal followed the formal dissolution of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], the end of the [[Great War]], and by extension the reduction of southern [[Levantia]]'s crushing hold on much of the continent. It was celebrated by all northern [[Levantia|Levantine]] nations, at the time, as a demonstration of modern, self-determinist northern [[Levantia]]. In southern [[Levantia]] it was met with mixed reviews. Nations along the [[Carolina Grand Canal]] were obviously not pleased to have their monopoly broken and the loss of considerable revenues in the form of passage fees and taxes. While it was loudly protested in [[Urcea]] for this reason, the economic loses would be stymying in Kronenia, and Hollona and Diorisia, who had faired far worse in the [[Great War]] and whose economies were not big enough to absorb the blow like [[Urcea]]'s.
 
The Aburvrigeen Canal was designed by [[X]] in the waning years of the [[Great War]] as there was a growing fear of populist uprisings at the conclusion of the war if soldiers came home to high unemployment rates. Many countries looked to titanic infrastructure projects as a way to, at least temporarily, give thousands of jobs to the returning service men.

The 400 m (1,312 ft 4 in) container ship was the first of its class and the largest ever to pass through the canal system. While technically within the limits of the canals
