'''HGZ Alemannia''', known fully and officially as '''Hochgeschwindigkeitszugnetz von Alemannien''' is a 7,651-kilometre (4,754 mile) high-speed rail network connecting the constituent countries of [[Alemannia]]. It consists of the HGZ Nord line, running from Anlaufhafen to Flussmund, and the HGZ Süd line, running from Anlaufhafen to [[Königsreh]]. Requiring heavy intergovernmental cooperation to achieve, the HGZ is the largest and longest high-speed rail network in the world.   
'''HGZ Erdara''', known fully and officially as '''''Hochgeschwindigkeitszugnetz Erdaras''''' is a 7,651-kilometre (4,754 mile) high-speed rail network connecting the constituent countries of [[Erdara]]. It consists of the HGZ West line, running from Flussmund to Ulich through Hytekia and Juznia, the HGZ Zentral line, running from Flussmund to Vishnevsk through Lilienburg and Krumlau, and the HGZ Ost line, running from Flussmund to Ulich through Finstria and Krumlau. Requiring heavy intergovernmental cooperation to achieve, the HGZ is the largest and longest high-speed rail network in the world.   


The HGZ initially opened in 1992, connecting the city of [[Krasno]] in [[Hytekia]] to the Mascyllary capital, with stops along the route in [[Tudonia]], namely [[Sigairen]]. The success of the line at first prompted heavy investment from the [[Kustlan]], and an extension to the line was built from Königsreh to Ljouwert, running through three other major Kustlandic cities (Lekkum, Aldtsjerk and Tsjalberg) in 1998. However, the termini of the Kustlandic Line in Königsreh was later scrapped as the city of Flussmund was added to the network in 2000, prompting the first separation into northern and southern lines, and the first connection link between the two initial Mascyllary termini. Further expansion to Skylge and Doanjum in 2003 and 2005 began the development of a rail link to the Juznik capital, Visnevas, which opened in 2007. A connection line between Visnevas and Pekrasta was opened in 2010, although not without controversy. The final developments to the network included the expansion to Lielosta and Anlaufhafen in Liiduria, the latter of which would become the new western terminus, and a ferry link of Skylge to Sangashámman, the [[Alriika|Alriikan]] capital, both of which opened in 2015.
The HGZ initially opened in 1992, connecting the city of [[Flussmund]] in [[Mascylla]] with [[Ulich]] in [[Dulebia]], with stops in [[Finstria]] and [[Krumlau]], namely [[Tanaus]], [[Rakonitz]], respectively. The success of the line at first prompted heavy investment for a second line connecting important economic areas in Mascylla and Krumlau, and an extension for a central line was built between Flussmund and Vishnevas in Dulebia (adding Lilienburg and Ihlenburg to the network) in 1998. Further expansion to [[Königsreh]] and [[Augusthal]] in Mascylla in 2003 and 2005 began the development of a rail link to [[Juznia|Juznik]] cities and its capital, [[Višnevas]], which opened in 2007. Plans to finalize a ring railway in Erdara with the addition of Hytekia were hindered by political discussion however. A connection line between Lilienburg and [[Krasno]] was opened in 2010, although not without controversy. The final developments to the network included the expansion to X in Hytekia, and adding the city of [[Kamianets]] on the Dulebian sea board, both of which opened in 2015. The addition of Kamianets subsequently allowed for a connection with Ulich, which finished the outer peripheral ring of the HGZ Erdara network.

As such, Lielosta International brought massive revenue to the city and country and serves as the prime link between Liiduria and the rest of Alemannia.

The Königsreh Hauptbahnhof, situated in the Mascyllary capital city of Königsreh, establishes the eastern terminus for the HGZ Süd line. However, via other railway connections to Flussmund up the Blaugold River, it can be used to reach Flussmund Hauptbahnhof, the eastern terminus of the other HGZ Nord line. Built in 1871 and radically rebuilt in 1991, it is the largest single-building central station used for railway traffic in Mascylla; it serves approximately 250,000 passengers each day. Though other large cities and metropolitan areas are en route of the HGZ railways, Königsreh receives most passengers arriving with HGZ trains nationally. Plans have been proposed to build an additional building to the Hauptbahnhof, in order to properly manage the influx of passengers and length of the trains.

HGZ Erdara, known fully and officially as Hochgeschwindigkeitszugnetz Erdaras is a 7,651-kilometre (4,754 mile) high-speed rail network connecting the constituent countries of Erdara. It consists of the HGZ West line, running from Flussmund to Ulich through Hytekia and Juznia, the HGZ Zentral line, running from Flussmund to Vishnevsk through Lilienburg and Krumlau, and the HGZ Ost line, running from Flussmund to Ulich through Finstria and Krumlau. Requiring heavy intergovernmental cooperation to achieve, the HGZ is the largest and longest high-speed rail network in the world.

The HGZ initially opened in 1992, connecting the city of Flussmund in Mascylla with Ulich in Dulebia, with stops in Finstria and Krumlau, namely Tanaus, Rakonitz, respectively. The success of the line at first prompted heavy investment for a second line connecting important economic areas in Mascylla and Krumlau, and an extension for a central line was built between Flussmund and Vishnevas in Dulebia (adding Lilienburg and Ihlenburg to the network) in 1998. Further expansion to Königsreh and Augusthal in Mascylla in 2003 and 2005 began the development of a rail link to Juznik cities and its capital, Višnevas, which opened in 2007. Plans to finalize a ring railway in Erdara with the addition of Hytekia were hindered by political discussion however. A connection line between Lilienburg and Krasno was opened in 2010, although not without controversy. The final developments to the network included the expansion to X in Hytekia, and adding the city of Kamianets on the Dulebian sea board, both of which opened in 2015. The addition of Kamianets subsequently allowed for a connection with Ulich, which finished the outer peripheral ring of the HGZ Erdara network.

Anlaufhafen Hauptbahnhof

Anlaufhafen Hauptbahnhof, which has serviced the city of Anlaufhafen since 1900, was added to the network in 2015 following six years of negotiations between the Liidurian government and HGZ Alemannia. The station serves as the western terminus for both the HGZ Nord and the HGZ Süd lines, thus receiving the most international passengers of any railway station in Liiduria and making up a significant portion of Anlaufhafen's transport sector.

Lielosta International

The only underground station on the network, Lielosta International was opened in 2015 and added to the line at the same time as Anlaufhafen Hauptbahnhof. The interior of the station is illuminated with bright lights that can change colour and the station itself has a modern and sleek look. Lielosta's underground platforms also make it the largest underground station in the world by line length indoors, having to house HGZ trains with up to twenty carriages. As of 2017, Lielosta International is the third most visited station in Hytekia, behind Pekrasta and Krasno's stations. Lielosta International was built to provide a more efficient link from Anlaufhafen to the rest of Hytekia, and was not designed to cope with the amount of traffic that Krasno and Pekrasta receive, before Lielosta International was built, passengers wishing to travel to the city had to disembark at the city's older station, some 20 miles from the city centre, and get the bus into the city.

Königsreh Hauptbahnhof

The Königsreh Hauptbahnhof, situated in the Mascyllary capital city of Königsreh, establishes the eastern terminus for the HGZ Süd line. However, via other railway connections to Flussmund up the Blaugold River, it can be used to reach Flussmund Hauptbahnhof, the eastern terminus of the other HGZ Nord line. Built in 1871 and radically rebuilt in 1991, it is the largest single-building central station used for railway traffic in Mascylla; it serves approximately 250,000 passengers each day.
