As most of the Volonian population lives in or around the major cities, transportation consists mainly of busses, metros, and high-speed trains or ferries between metropolitan regions. Volonia has two international airports, one in Caradej and one outside of Titu. Titu also has a natural deep-water port. The government's Agenda 2040 plans to artificially deepen a corridor for modern container ships to pass in [[Lake Parima]] to make the northern shore of Volonia open for trade. | As most of the Volonian population lives in or around the major cities, transportation consists mainly of busses, metros, and high-speed trains or ferries between metropolitan regions.

As one of Volonia's major industries involves the mining of uranium ore, of which the nation's [[Dara Mountains]] has in spades, the majority of the energy generated in Volonia is through {{wp|nuclear power}}, which makes up approximately 61.2% of Volonia's energy generation, with the nation's first nuclear power plant complex, the [[Nicolescu Memorial Power Plant]], being opened in 1968 after roughly eight years of construction. With a vast desert with little major variation in altitude or weather, Volonia's next-largest producer of energy is through {{wp|solar power}}, specifically of the {{wp|concentrated solar power}} variety, which produces just under 20% of Volonia's energy generation. The next two forms of energy generation used in Volonia are as follows: {{wp|fossil fuel power station|oil}} imported from Pelaxia, which makes up 14.7% of Volonia's energy generation, and {{wp|wind power}}, which makes up 4.3% of Volonia's energy generation. Presently, the Volonian government is aiming to phase out reliance on fossil fuel energy as part of its Agenda 2040 plans, with present goals aiming to lower the percentage of energy generated by fossil fuels down to 10% or less by 2040. | |||
