The '''Carolina-Grand Canal''' is a canal system extending from the [[Urce River]] to the [[Vandarch]] through [[Urcea]], [[Kronenia]], [[Anglei]], and [[Hollona and Diorisia]]. It was built to create a navigable water route from [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] and the [[Odoneru Ocean]] to the Vandarch. When completed in 1880, it was the second longest canal in the world. It was the only effective route into the Vandarch until the construction of the [[Grand Vandarch Canal]] in the 1950s. | |||
It was faster than carts pulled by draft animals and considerably cheaper than railway travel given the considerable mountainous boundaries between [[Catholic Levantia]] and [[Ultmar]], opening greater economic activity in the Vandarch and enhancing the growth of Urceopolis during the Aedanicad. It was widened in 1918 to allow for larger barges and even small warships. Today, it largely serves as a waterway for recreational ships, but since 2010 there has been a renewed interest in the commercial applications of the Carolina-Grand Canal. | It was faster than carts pulled by draft animals and considerably cheaper than railway travel given the considerable mountainous boundaries between [[Catholic Levantia]] and [[Ultmar]], opening greater economic activity in the Vandarch and enhancing the growth of Urceopolis during the Aedanicad.
