Infrastructure
Torrike enjoys a well‐developed and modern infrastructure, which is adequately funded and maintained in good working order. The transportation system is good and serves the whole country. Only in the extreme north does it become somewhat sparse. The country is well served by an integrated road and rail system and a regular and efficient inspection system ensures that the bridge systems on the main arteries are kept in good order. The major road north runs very close to the border with Framland and Framland has an agreement with Torrike that allows their vehicles free use of this system (and easy cross border travel), with an annual “fee” paid by the Framland Treasury to Torrike. This fee is deliberately kept low as a way of binding Framland closer to Torrike and as a diplomatic tool.
Torrike has an extensive network of regional airports, all of which are also used periodically by the military. The country also possesses a range of modern and efficient ports that handle the full range of imports and exports. Torrike generates more than 70% of its energy requirements internally through a combination of nuclear and hydropower. Oil is still imported for fuel purposes, but the refining is done in country and Torrike’s refineries also process crude oil for other nations like Arnland and Framland.
The power distribution network is robust in the southern and more heavily populated part of the country and has considerable redundancy. A major investment program in smart grid networks is being contemplated after a successful pilot in Tyr. The telecoms and broadband network throughout the country is both modern and well maintained. Considerable investment has been made in fiber‐optic cable networks for telecommunications and the majority of military communications already use such networks. Mobile phone coverage is extremely good throughout the country and considerable redundancy is built into the system. Much of the country’s infrastructure is dual use military/civil and all military infrastructure is required to be available for civil use when circumstances dictate. Potential military use is always considered during the planning of major infrastructure projects. For example several stretches of motorway are capable of acting as aircraft runways and shelter areas suitable for use as a Forward Operating Base (FOB) are provided.
The military infrastructure is both extensive and well maintained; during the recent economic downturn, an element of the Torrikan stimulus package covered the refurbishment of a number of facilities that had been in “care and maintenance”. One of the basic tenets of Torrikan military doctrine is that of redundancy, with “more at an acceptable quality” being regarded as better than “less at a higher quality”. The Torrikan Air Force, for instance, possesses few hardened aircraft shelters, but a large number of dispersal points and bare bases/runways of varying capabilities.
Physical Environment
Torrike borders Norway to the north and west, Donovia, Otso and Bothnia to the northeast, Framland and the Baltic Sea to the east, Arnland to the south and the Skagerrak to the south west. Its capital is Tyr. It is in a strategic location along Danish Straits linking Baltic and North Seas. Torrike has an area of 347,400 square kilometers bordering Norway to the north and west, Donovia, Otso and Bothnia to the northeast, Framland and the Baltic Sea to the east, Arnland to the south and the Skagerrak to the south west. Its capital is Tyr. Having missed out on the oil boom for geographic reasons, Torrike has sought to gain access to other potential areas of interest and is deeply interested in gaining access to the Arctic. When Norway declared independence in 1905, the Empire had initially tried to retain northern Norway as this gave it an opening to the Norwegian Sea and an ice free outlet to the wider world. Skolkan was unable to sustain this claim, but it has not been forgotten. Torrike is desperate to benefit from what it believes will be a natural resources bonanza in the Arctic region. Currently physically blocked by Norway, Torrike may consider radical plans to guarantee access. Although there is no tradition of hostility with Poland, there have been several disputes with regards to fishing rights, overfishing, and the exploitation of natural resources in the Baltic Sea during the last 20 years.
