An endlessly practical family car with a sporty poise and all the oomph you might want.

Is it any wonder that the Intercontinental Motors IE200 Rhapsody is Crookfur's best selling car:

The "Black Beast", or officially the PAZ-12 Pechora, the most popular vehicle in Vetalia for decades, and long since established as the ultimate status symbol in the country's automotive world. Offering an abundance of amenities and spectacular craftsmanship, it is designed specifically to satisfy the Vetalian customer's need for excessive luxury on the road. The vehicle is so ubiquitous among Vetalians that it shows up in expatriate communities around the world, even in the face of potentially superior foreign cars.

http://img5.travelblog.org/Photos/76431 ... aika-0.jpg

The Chaika, the second tier of the Big Three models, it offers many of the amenities of its top-shelf counterpart but a more moderate price. Like its fellow models, it retains many "archaic" stylings and is almost always black, a byproduct of the early days of Vetalian automobiles when black was reserved for government vehicles and so automatically conveyed a sense of power and influence that has far outlived the restrictions themselves.

A smaller PAZ-111, the more common model designed as a "starter castle" for middling Vetalians working their way up to bigger and better vehicles. Reliable, maneuverable, and relatively inexpensive for its amenities (currently руб 15,000-22,000 or approximately $30,000-$44,000), it is a starting point for those working their way up to the Chaika or Pechora.

The great nation of Zembrill relies on public transportation where ever the possibility presents itself. As a "Green Nation," Zembrill condemns such objectiveness and materialism and urges those willing to listen to consider eco-friendly alternatives. Have you barbarians considered riding bicycles or simply walking?

Due to the cheap and (somewhat) effective public transportation, most people living in cities use these:

(Tram stop in Arbalovskaja Promishlennaja Zona, Segety)

Those who choose (or need) to use their own automobiles, mostly use Ladas like this:

While they might not be able to rival western cars in effectivity, they certainly are affordable.

Wealthier people as well as government officials use a Sebytanian-made, updated version of the Volga GAZ-24, which is the official state car:

The favorite car of our nation is the Equilibrium:
As we move forward in our increasingly mass produced and technological world, there is a certain nostalgia for what many critics say we’ve lost. We just need to find new ways to personalize and humanize the products we create. The Equilibrium (EQ) car uses artificial intelligence to engage us by generating the illusion of life and individual personality. Tho the cars are mass produced, no two are alike.

Lets close our eyes. Envisage a high tech world not too distant in the future. It’s morning and you’re getting ready for work; a day like any other. You step in the garage where a dark, almost black figure rests in the corner. As you approach it illuminates from within, pulsing like the slow rhythmic pace of breathing. The vehicle is alert, it senses and recognizes your presence. It knows you’re the owner and goes into standby mode. The door handles reveal themselves to you. The floating seats adjust, comfortably cradling your body. As you place both hands on the steering wheel, biometric sensors activate the vehicle into full power mode. You’re ready to go.

The idea is intriguing and not difficult to imagine. For years automotive designers have thought of ways to create experiences within a car to simulate a living object. Personalization is key to creating an emotional attachment with anything inanimate. The Equilibrium takes it a step further by utilizing some key technologies not yet invented but it’s only a matter of time.

Take for example the exterior surface - covered in what the designer dubs “rubber metal.” Thanks to nanotechnology, it’s flexible and rigid. The wheels are even covered and steering is achieved by manipulating the material to pull on the center axis of each wheel hub. On the outside it gives the vehicle a smooth continuous form uninterrupted by seams. The material can even move from opaqueness to transparency, hinting to the owner what’s inside waiting as they approach.

Two electric engines are located in the rear wheels for space efficiency and for weight distribution. All interior elements float by using a connection to a center frame. This creates a light and spacious expression. At the same time it provides a feeling of safety for the passengers; a strong central object for protection.

The battery pack is located in the front of the vehicle for weight distribution. To cool the batteries, air flows from a front air intake along the batteries and through the frame to an air outlet on the top.

The seats consist of two parts; an external ‘shell’ and soft inner skin. The skin is made of Electro Active Polymers, and adapts to the drivers body. Electricity can make the surfaces stretch and change shape.

The steering wheel has heartbeat sensors to activate the vehicle from stand-by to full power as soon as it detects the driver’s heartbeat. This has a safety element as well. As the driver gets tired while driving, the vehicle will detect a lower heart rate and react by blowing fresh air inside. But in more serious situations (heart attack) it can automatically bring the vehicle to standstill; park it along the road and send out an alarm message. By satellite, the exact location of the vehicle can be traced.
