The Canal majulais (Midrasian for 'Majulan Canal'), also known as the Boji Canal (Mehare: ቦይ, Boj) in Habasha or the Qana Canal (Kazhwirian: کانال, ???) in Kazhwir is an artificial waterway connecting the Asur and Iranic seas. The Canal marks the boundary between the continents of Majula and Catai. The Boji Canal was originally constructed between 1850 and 1863 by the Midrasian xx Company. The Company was founded by froggie1 and froggie2 with the support of the Midrasian government at the time, following the signature of the xx Treaty with the Emirs of xx, xx and Kazhwir. The territories adjacent to the Canal were leased to the xx Company for a hundred years in return for the emirs and their descendants receiving an annual percentage of the Company's profits. The Majulo-Cataian Canal Territories were returned in 1964.
Today, the Majulan Canal is divided between a northern and a southern section, governed by the Majulan Canal Authority, a publicly-traded corporation in which the Habashi, Kazhwiri and Midrasian governments are the three main shareholders, with all three possessing a golden share.
The Canal covers a distance of approximately 0,000 kilometres, not including the two natural lakes, xx and xx. The full journey through the canal complex takes around 16 hours to complete, reducing the travel time of vessels by eliminating the need of passing around southern Majula. Today, the canal sees a very high level of traffic, with around 18,000 vessels traversing it in 2016 alone.
