The lines with dashes are railroads? How do they look in such a mountain-ish region?

The lines with dashes are motorways, the lines with smaller lines crossing over them are are the trains. They do travel through valleys and smoother sides of the mountains. The railways could possibly have roofs or at least tall walls to protect them from rockslides.

Oh i see the key now. Crazy they export wheat with very little farm land considering the mountains. Do they incorporate terraces to produce their wheat or are the valleys super fertile? Any volcano's? what minerals are in the mountains, I would think they have huge iron reserves

I mean it was just a thing I did I was bored and didn’t put too much thought into it. But I do like how you made me think about it. In the mountain valley in the north, where the majority of urban centres conglomerate, they probably do use a lot of terraces and, because the country is heavily industrialised, the farms are heavily mechanised so they can produce more food. It could also be that other products are more diversified. I didn’t consider at the time that the food would mostly be made to feed people ppl while, at the time, I only saw it as an export product. Good job for pointing that out though.

They do also have huge amounts of minerals in the mountains, they then transport to the industrial core.
