Teikoku michi

The Imperial Autobahn, Teikoku michi, or Imperial Road, is the spiritual successor of the Ducal Roads in Kildare. These controlled-access highways connect large cities in the Jingdaoese Empire with each other. The highways are property of the Empire and no State can - without approval of the Grand Secretariat collect tolls.

Unique to the highway system is the attempt that was made to let it blend with the surrounding nature. In the early days the highways were seen as a propaganda tool: the fastest way were not necessarily taken. The roads bent with the landscape, to maximize an enjoyable trip through the realm. Statues of Sisera were often found across it. During the reign of the Chidao Emperor the focus was shifted towards the economic needs of the empire. Many of the historic roads were replaced with concrete. New roads would often follow a more efficient path, in those cases the old routes have been kept as Historic Autobahn and are off-limits to heavy vehicles.
