An Empire's Progress

While Berengar was off in the New World on another one of his escapades, he had left his chancellor, uncle, and father-in-law Otto von Graz in charge of his Empire. If there was one thing Berengar admired about the man is he had a work ethic on par with himself. Thus, it was no surprise that the man spent a significant amount of effort maintaining control over the Empire's various realms, and signing bills into law. 

At the moment, he was looking at an expense report regarding the expansion of the train network. It had been over a year since Berengar united the Empire, and among his largest and most expensive projects was the existence of the National Railway. It had made significant progress over the past year and now connected much of the Southern German cities together. Currently, the department of transportation was requesting a certain amount of funds to expand the railway into Prussia's borders.
