Editing History of Zamastan (section)

Taures also tasked the Ministry of State with the job of creating an elaborate network of railroads to link town across the country, which also aided the young nation's economy by making the shipment of goods and transportation in general an easier endeavor. By the 1860s, a completed railroad system connected the entire island together. Construction also began on many new towns during this decade; prior to this Zamastan was made up of a handful of major cities from which the rest of the country was relatively isolated. Roads were also starting to pop up across the island alongside the railroad network; this provided yet another effective form of transport.

Taures opened up an immense communications network with other nations, including the British Empire, the United States of America (which at the time was requesting support from any nation militarily and morally in the midst of a civil war, but the embassy opened previously in 1853), the Canadian Commonwealth (Embassy opened in 1871).

President Taures unveiled a wide array of industrial ambitions during the 1860s as well, with the country constructing hundreds of factories within the newly built cities as the nation's workforce more than doubled and the enormous amount of natural resources available were utilized to their full potential. Many citizens relocated to urban areas to find work in the factories; others found work in the booming ore industries. The average income among Zamastan citizens more than tripled during the 1860s and the national economy flourished; these advances allowed Taures to commit additional resources to the country's military as well; troop numbers increased, more modern equipment and firearms were acquired, and the construction of more combat-capable ships improved the capacity and effectiveness of the country's naval forces, which were regarded as the most important branch given the fact that the country was an island chain.
