[Aleckandor]

Associate Arbiter Läêndhínn M. X. Vráûwdvúhdt, a sitting member on the Tribunal Of Supreme Confederal Arbiters (basically Aleckandor's supreme court), has a frightening reputation for not only writing and delivering very harsh final opinions on adversarial cases that involve prosecuting an accused legal entity, but verbally demolishing the sides of a case he is deciding against through a series of methodically calculated polemics and bombastic character insults during oral arguments. He once drove a convicted pedophile and serial rapist - one who was the son of a quite wealthy figure in Confederate society, and thus could afford the competent lawyers he needed to get their situation appealed all the way up to the Tribunal - to commit suicide in the middle of the hearing with his nonstop offensively traumatic probing and prodding; audio transcripts from the room that day confirm that as the sobbing man killed himself by ingesting a cyanide pill, the sounds of Arbiter Vrauwdvuhdt bursting out in boisterous and merciless laughter could be heard as the convulsing criminal's body fell out of the chair and onto the floor.

[Lillorainen]

The Federal Highway with the shortest time between the planning and the finishing of construction in the history of Lillorainen was the A26 from Lollerup over Longenager to Snörrup (all in the State of Visholm). The entire construction of the highway, with 93 km of length and an interruption within the city limit of Longenager (which can be surpassed by the orbital A20) lasted from February 1982 to July 1983, taking less than one and a half year.
The negative record is held by highway A69 from Bietau to Preetz, over Ladenburg and Freudenberg (States of the Rathland and Rigesöer). Plans of a highway with that connection date back to 1932; due to political changes, and at the end of these, the Civil War, the project could not be realized. It remained in the plannings after 1981, but these were changed a few times - some significant sections originally built for the A69 are now parts of other highways (such as Ladenburg-Mennem-Rohrscheid, now part of the A49 Isenwerth-Ladenburg-Lauweiler, or Fehnscheid-Freudenberg-Nessau, now the A661). Thus, new roads needed to be planned, which are currently Federal Roads (B205, B227, B194). The A69 will open at the end of 2018 - after 86 years since its planning.
