Petrol powered cars are a rarity and only seen in museums or private collections , and the production of fuel for these vehicles has almost ceased with only one refinery still operating in the republic.

Electric cars and trucks are reasonably popular as a means of short range transport and are powered by the standard energy cell technology and small fusion generators.

But by far the most popular car is the LSP air/raft grav car , this vehicle uses gravitic technology to fly and usually flies at an altitudes of several hundred meters , and in theory they would be capable of flying higher and even into orbit , but most air/rafts are not pressurized so this is not usually done and there are safety measures that need to be overridden to enable the vehicle to leave the troposphere and persons flying higher than the recommended altitude are advised to wear a vacsuit or occupy a fully synthetic body.

Sixty percent of cars in Komneneia are made locally.
The remaining 40% are from imported Japanese, American and European brands.

Use of regular fuels like gasoline and diesel fuel is decreasing due increasing adoption of batteries and hydrogen fuel cell in cars manufactured here. This is hugely due to cheap electricity made by the many nuclear powerplants here in our country, allowing us to power charging stations and hydrogen generating plants at low cost.

We mostly use Columbian automobile brands in the islands. Many of our cars are actually manufactured here, at the Berkeley plant in the suburbs of west Newport on St. Helens. Four-wheel drive vehicles are most common here, due to the poor condition of many of the roads outside of the major cities.

In Turkducken the automobile industry was nationalized (as were all industries following the 100-Year Conflict) the company continues to produce military vehicles for the Volunteers as well as automobiles for those who can afford them. Due to strict environmental regulations the automobiles in Turkducken are no faster than 60 mph and lack most "luxuries" found in other cars around the world ie(the bare essentials, no AC, light aluminum frames)

Japanese, German and American brands tend to predominate in Heidenheim and most from other lands can be found easily enough, but automobiles are taxed, and fossil fuels are heavily taxed. Currently we are developing alternatives to fossil fuels; purely electrical cars are increasing in popularity. Aside from that, the issue of automated (self-driving) cars is becoming a rather heated controversy in Heidenheim.

Pensyltuckian automobiles are mainly dominated by American pickup trucks ranging from the 1950's up to the late 1990's, early 2000's. Chevrolet is most common, followed by Ford, then GMC, then Dodge. Anything that's not American made is pretty uncommon here and many people don't know of most or all European or Japanese car brands. And electric/hybrid vehicles are very rare here. Pretty much nonexistant. Most people here are actually unaware that such things exist. The single most commonly seen vehicle here is the 1990's Chevrolet C/K 1500 Silverado. In general, there is an unusually large amount of automobiles here, with about 3 functional autombiles for every person, not including any commercial, government, or any nonfunctional vehicles. This also leaves out cars that work, but were never actually registered. Which is quite common due to the incompetent, tiny police departments.

Domestic Halfblakistani cars, though, are widely regarded as terrible, and are noted for their poor craftsmanship. Selim Wolker, the nation's President, is a notorious pedestrian who dislikes driving. The "Spirit" electric car for example -the most common domestic car- is a four-door sedan that is known for its battery dying after little more than 100,000 km. Most who can afford it opt for foreign imports.

Since the only fossil fuel vehicles allowed in New Birgland are jet aircraft and rockets, all cars are electric or hydrogen powered. The largest auto manufacturer in the nation is Birgland Volta, which sells both standard cars for the average citizen and luxury cars for the rich and powerful. Other nations' cars are allowed to be sold, but only if they do not pollute the air.

Hybrid and electric cars have received something of a renaissance in the past few years, with many drivers recently opting for cars of this type; only 28% of cars today are powered purely on fossil fuels, as opposed to 64% back in 2010.
The most popular automobile manufacturers are typically those from Germany, such as VW, BMW and Mercedes. Many factories under these corporations have sprung up in El Korama over the past decade or so. Their cars are particularly popular in suburban areas, with Koraman cities relying more on public transport systems, mainly in the form of underground rail travel.

Automobiles are absent, illegal actually.
As a result, our public transportation is without compare. Buses, trolleys, trains, electric airplanes, etc. are free, extremely numerous, and run 24/7
God forbid you should miss the bus and have to wait 30 whole seconds for the next one to stop
Cities are condensed and built in such a way that one could theoretically walk to where they need to go.

Public transit is a very popular mode of transit in Halfblakistan. As a result, the government has inherited hundreds of used school buses from the United States and Brazil for use as Resiklabuses, or "recycled buses" in Kreole. These buses are converted as hybrids and use both diesel ethanol and electric power, saving millions on fuel costs.

Private automobiles are banned in Democratic Majapahit. There are, however, state-owned ones available for borrow and for return at stipulated vehicle distribution points.

Most Majapahit vehicles, confiscated from homes during evacuation of cities, still run on gas, due to the low development of the area. However new brands of vehicles are hybrid and a few models for use by agricultural specialists are fully electric. Domestically produced vehicles still occupy a low share of the borrowing stock; 70% of automobiles available for borrowing are still ones from the last century obtained during city razes.
