The Southern Kōkai Railways (Phineaner: Keretapi Kōkaï Selatan; Jawi: كريتاڤي كوكي سلتن; abbreviated SKR or NKT), also known as the Southern Kōkai State Railways (Sangunese: 南黃海州鉄道, translit.: Nan-Kōkai-shu Tetsudō?, Phineaner: Keretapi Negeri Kōkaï Selatan; Jawi: كريتاڤي نڬري كوكي سلتن; Taesongean: 남황해주철도; RR: Nam-Hwanghae-ju Cheoldo; Yapreayan: Аҩаdаtwi Kōҟaï Aħwynţķarratw Dġylmҩаķwa; Ashkenatzi: דרום קאָקאַי געגנט באן; romanization: Drum Kokai Gegnt Ban), also known as the Southern Kōkai Railways Company Ltd. (Sangunese: 南黃海州鉄道株式会社, translit.: Nan-Kōkai-shu Tetsudō Kabushikigaisha?, Taesongean: 남황해주철도주식회사; RR: Nam-Hwanghae-ju Cheoldo Jushikhoesa), colloquially known by the abbreviated name as Nankōtetsu (南黃鉄?, Taesongean: 남황철; RR: Namhwangcheol; MR: Namhwangch'ŏl), is a Phinbellan-Kōkainese joint-stock company whose primary function is the management and operation of railways connecting the southern highlands and coast of Kōkai including the Singapore Street Metropolitan Region and the eastern Glayzer River valley, as well as connecting Singapore Street and Desaremix, including on several branch lines.
It is also one of two railway lines in Kōkai, the other being the Kōkai-Heijō Government Railway (KHGR). Established on 14 November -66BP to operate railways taken over from separate railway lines, the company acquired various railway lines that had been developed separately in various parts of southern Kōkai, the railway area being taken over by the company as the Southern Kōkai Railway Zone administered by the federal government concession which the company has extraterritorial rights to a chain of accommodation, the Pan-Phineonesia Hotels of seven branches and three mosques located in Singapore Street, Lojing Highlands and Desaremix. Nankōtetsu subsequently expanded by building a new line to connect the state capital and Spectra City (now Desaremix) via Shandānø'kaí, and the line area was also integrated into the railway zone.
The Southern Kōkai Railways provides three services and has eight railway lines including Lojing Line and Inter Cybercity Line, almost all of which are connected to Singapore Street. Apart from the accommodation chain, the company has several subsidiaries including a radio station covering the railway zone.

Southern Kōkai Railway Zone
The Southern Kōkai Railway Zone (Sangunese: 南黃海州鉄道附属地, translit.: Nan-Kōkai-shu Tetsudō Fuzoku-chi?, Phineaner: Kawasan Keretapi Kōkaï Selatan; Jawi: كاوسن كريتاڤي كوكي سلتن; Taesongean: 남황해주철도부속지; RR: Nam-Hwanghae-ju Cheoldo Busok-ji), known as the NKT Zone or Nankōtetsu Zone, is a Phinbellan leased area established in RP 2600, and was Phinbellan extraterritorial rights from that year until 1729 AN in connection with the concession and operation of the railway network. In 1739 AN, the area was made a directly-administered area by the Phinbellan federal government with the status of a domestic condominium, jointly administered with the Kōkai state government. The zone is geographically a 68 metres (223 ft) wide strip of land on both sides of the tracks on all nine lines of the railway network which extends for 848.71 kilometres (527.36 mi), but the zone are includes the station building areas, the Pan-Phineonesian Hotels network and the mosque sites at three major stations as well as the warehouses, repair shops, coal mines and electrical facilities that were deemed necessary to maintain the trains, also the several settlements of Rancangan Penempatan Tanah Tetsudō (RPTT). Overall, this zone has a total land area of 684.2 square kilometres (264.2 sq mi).
It is understood that the zone was established in -66BP as a result of the takeover of existing railway lines previously owned by several commercially active foreign concessions. The concession companies of the Phineonesian kingdoms in Kōkai signed the Gor'latan Lease Agreement in April -66BP to form a joint concession over their railway lines, thus forming a zone controlled by the concession states and the government of the Republic of Kōkai. This control continued until 11 November RP 2600 when the concession states transferred control of the zone to the Phinbellan provisional government through the Loloan Agreement after the last railway line, the Inter Cybercity Line connecting Spectra City (now Desaremix), was completed, it was granted extraterritorial rights and internal condominium rights with the government of Kōkai state which at that time was not yet part of Phinbella.
The Southern Kōkai Railway Zone had its own private military force, mostly local volunteers of Taesongean and Sangunese descent in Kōkai.
