Because Wintergen's economy is a high-low mix of sectors from research to traditional fishing and herding, opportunities abound for Ouintergens at all skill and education levels, which has helped the islands maintain a fairly steady unemployment rate of around X% for the last decade. | |||
[[Burgundie]]'s high emphasis on [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Education|education]] translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less educated countries in [[Kiro-Borealis]]. The islands' economic diversity cushions against overreliance on any single industry, which has demonstrably made the island more resilient during downturns. Since [[Burgundie]] strives for [[Total Economic Engagement]] and espouses equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or background, Wintergen benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields. | |||

Wintergen uses [[Track gauges around the world|Standard gauge]], 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) for its freight rail. | |||
Borail (a portmanteau of boreal and rail) is the is the public-private joint-venture, intercity, passenger rail operator in [[Nauta Normand]] and [[Wintergen]]. It owns and operates all rail corridors, rights of way, and rolling stock that serve this purpose. | |||
Wintergen only has industrial, freight rail service. None of the 850km (528 mi) of rail is rated for passenger traffic. Because all of the rail is designed specifically around the logging industry the rail network all converges and estimates from [[Wintergen#Port_Hivernille|Port Hivernille]]. The rail is all standard gauge but has a unique third rail and the distance of standard narrow gauge. This is because all timber train trucks are fitted with "guide wheels" or a small centrally located axle that works between the outermost rail to the center rail. These was added as a safety measure do you derailments during heavy rains that can wash out the ballast under some of the ties. The narrow gauge guide wheels have proven effective in reducing the number of derailments as a result of washed out ballast and rail shifting as a result. | Wintergen only has industrial, freight rail service.
