Piikala would like to know what Rail gauge the Piikalans use to ensure the smooth transfer of the Piikalan trains.

Silvedanian engineers living in Zaricoa suggest using a medium gauge.

NS Stats are mostly accurate except for a few things, like this nation is capitalist and the death penalty isn't in effect

News:All trade with Crabaiaia and Pikala has stopped as diplomats meet in Trenaka.  Silvedanians are confused by Quentin Tarantulatino's new film, Seasonal Snackbox(This is a Bojack Horseman reference.) Weird song goes viral for making no sense.

Piikala sees that as good possibility but Piikala uses a two-meter rail gauge due to the very mountainous terrain of the Piikalan homeland.

The Silvedanian scientists haven't seen a gauge two meters long before.

Piikala had originally put it in place to transport its rail guns through the mountains and so that invaders couldn't use Piikalan trains without going through the trouble of making custom locomotives. It was then adopted by Piikalan highspeed trains since it allowed them to be more stable in the mountainous terrain and also to be more stable in the event of mudslides and avalanches that would happen in the Piikalan alps where the trains were needed to constantly haul materials down into the valleys for the Piikalan war effort in the WWI and WWII. It was then adopted throughout the empire since that's what the Piikalans had so and stuck with and what had been proven to work. It also allowed the Piikalans to transport their ICBMS and rockets by rail, helping to lower costs of transporting equipment at the height of Piikalan-western tensions after its ally Imperial Japan's invasion and enemy USSR.

Piikala proposes a transfer station in Phastastan for passengers to go through immigration and customs and then transfer to trains into ZN.

Since there has been no signs of tension and signs of actual improvement in the situation for the past 15 days, I'm gonna declare the Cold War as "naturally died down"
