====Krystyna Kowalska and "Święty Mikołaj i duchy"==== | |||
Krystyna Kowalska was a renowned Spekean author and one of the greatest writers in Speke's history. She is best known for her novella "Święty Mikołaj i duchy" ("Saint Nicholas and the Spirits"), a beloved holiday classic that has been translated into numerous languages and adapted into various stage and screen productions. | |||
In the late 1800s, Speke was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization, which led to a widening gap between the wealthy and the poor. Kowalska sought to use her writing as a means of social commentary and to inspire change. Through the story of Ebenezer Skroog, a wealthy and miserly businessman who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve, Kowalska explored themes of redemption and the true spirit of Christmas. The ghosts, representing the past, present, and future, show Skroog the error of his ways and help him to see the true meaning of Christmas. The novella's message of hope and redemption resonated with readers in Speke and beyond, and it has become a treasured holiday tradition across Anteria. | |||

[[File:Transportation_Ticket_20_minutes.png|thumb|A ticket allowing for transport on any bus, tram, metro in Sczesczołiszin for 20 minutes after being "validated".]] | |||
Transportation plays a vital role in the economic and social development of Speke, connecting citizens and facilitating commerce. With an integrated and extensive transportation network that includes air, water, road, and rail transport, Speke is well-equipped to meet the demands of its growing population. | |||
The country's public transportation system is both comprehensive and sustainable, with a focus on providing efficient and affordable travel options for all of its citizens. Sczesczołiszin boasts the largest network of public transportation, including buses, trams, and metros, all of which are integrated with modern technology, such as electronic ticketing and real-time information systems, to enhance convenience and accessibility. | |||
Tickets for buses, trams and metros can be bought at every kiosk in the country, and every [[Frogy]] convenience store in denominations of 20, 40, 60 minutes, 1 day, 1 week. Monthly and yearly passes are available through the use of the national transportation card "INSERT NAME HERE", or a mobile app. | |||
[[File:Warszawa Centralna Train station platform, Poland, 2019.jpg|thumb|Sczesczołiszin Główny Station]] | |||
Speke's railway system is one of the most advanced in [[Thaudia]], with over a few hundred kilometers of higher-speed rail lines, reducing travel time and making intercity travel more convenient. With over 65% of rail lines electrified, Speke promotes sustainable transportation and has greatly reduced its carbon footprint, with a goal of getting to net zero emissions between 2030-2040. A majority of Speke's railway infrastructure is owned by [[SPK Group]], who also operates a majority of rail services, however some notable public operators are [[Speregio]] and [[Koleje Kwietniowe]]. | |||
The country's air transportation network is also well-developed, with international airports located in all major cities. Domestic flights are operated by its flag carrier, [[5air]], providing citizens with access to destinations throughout the country for prices as low as 5 SEK (6.25 ACU) on some days. | |||
Trams also play a vital role in urban transportation, particularly in larger cities, where extensive tram networks offer an affordable and convenient travel option for as low as 3.20 SEK (4 ACU) per day, those tickets also being valid for bus and metro transportation. | |||
===Telecommunications=== | |||
The telecommunications sector in Speke has been steadily growing and evolving over the years, with technology advancements and infrastructure developments playing a key role in its progress. The government of Speke has been actively involved in ensuring that the country's telecommunications infrastructure is robust, efficient, and accessible to its citizens across both urban and rural areas. | |||
In recent years, Speke has made significant strides in expanding its 4G and 5G networks. As of the latest statistics in 2022, over 90% of urban areas in the country have access to 4G connections, with all major cities boasting 5G networks. In particular, Sczesczołiszin has achieved an impressive 80% coverage of 5G speeds. These figures demonstrate the government's commitment to providing high-speed and reliable telecommunications services to its citizens. | |||
In addition to its impressive urban connectivity, Speke has also been making efforts to ensure that rural areas are not left behind in terms of connectivity. The country's leading internet service provider, [[Userva]], has been crucial in bridging the digital divide between urban and rural areas, providing high-speed internet access to both. The company currently holds almost 90% of the market share in Speke. | |||
With the government's involvement, [[Userva]] has became one of the key researchers in research and development of 6G telecommunications technology, with the launch of these 6G networks expected sometime in the 2030s. | |||
Furthermore, [[SpekeX]]'s "[[Orbitlink]]" satellite constellation has been a game-changer in connecting even the remotest corners of Anteria. The satellite system has been instrumental in providing internet access to people living in rural and remote areas who may not have access to traditional telecommunications infrastructure. This has opened up new opportunities for individuals and businesses in previously underserved areas and has helped to close the digital divide between urban and rural areas. | |||

The country's leading internet service provider, Userva, has been crucial in bridging the digital divide between urban and rural areas, providing high-speed internet access to both. The company currently holds almost 90% of the market share in Speke.
With the government's involvement, Userva has became one of the key researchers in research and development of 6G telecommunications technology, with the launch of these 6G networks expected sometime in the 2030s.
Furthermore, SpekeX's "Orbitlink" satellite constellation has been a game-changer in connecting even the remotest corners of Anteria. The satellite system has been instrumental in providing internet access to people living in rural and remote areas who may not have access to traditional telecommunications infrastructure. This has opened up new opportunities for individuals and businesses in previously underserved areas and has helped to close the digital divide between urban and rural areas.

SpekeX is a private aerospace and aeronautic company based in the eastern city of Wielek, Speke. Founded in 2002 with the initial goal of colonizing Stratos, a planet with the presence of water in the form of ice but no known biological life, SpekeX has grown and diversified its operations to include a range of other aerospace and aeronautic endeavors. These include the development of reusable rocketry, electric aircraft, and military drones. The company is known for its contributions to the development and advancement of these technologies, and continues to be a leader in the field, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of space exploration and related technologies.
SpekeX has a goal of launching around 3,000 Orbitlink Satellites into Low Anteria Orbit (LAO) around Anteria. As of 2021, the company has already launched over 2,000 of these satellites, which are designed to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access to users across the planet. The success of the Orbitlink satellites has established SpekeX as a leader in the field of satellite-based internet access, and the company continues to work towards expanding and improving its services. The additional 1,000 satellites are intended to further improve the coverage and reliability of the Orbitlink network.
SpekeX has been working on the development of the ION spacecraft for several years, with multiple prototypes and tests conducted to ensure the safety and reliability of the rocket. The company is planning to conduct the first orbital launch of the ION rocket in 2023, which will mark a significant milestone in their efforts to send humans into space. This launch will be a major accomplishment for SpekeX, and the company is currently preparing for future missions, including the possibility of sending a crew to the Caliesia Lunar Outpost in the near future. The ION spacecraft has shown great promise as a reliable and capable vehicle, and SpekeX is confident in its ability to safely transport astronauts to and from Low Anteria Orbit and beyond and is expecting to send the first orbital craft into orbit in 2023.
As a founding member of SPASEK, the joint space agency of the Sekidean Union, Speke has played a significant role in the development and success of the agency. Since 2012, SpekeX has been a part of SPASEK and has made significant contributions to the agency, including the development of new space exploration technologies, the launch and operation of satellites, and various collaborative projects with international space agencies.
