A Basic Guide to Highways in Zeconnemeleth

 

The logo of the Zeconnemeleth Department of Transportation (ZCDOT).

The Zeconnemeleth Department of Transportation (ZCDOT) was formed in 2002 as the successor state agency to the Zeconnemeleth Highway Commission (1918-2002) when the territory gained statehood. The Zeconnemeleth Department of Motor Vehicles operated as an umbrella organization of ZCDOT from 2002 until 2008, when it split off as its own state agency. ZCDOT designs, builds and maintains all public roads and bridges in the state, and is responsible for the establishment and classification of the state highway network. ZCDOT routinely uses the term "Route" in reference to the names of its public roads. However, Zeconnemeleth statutes define them as "State Highways." Zeconnemelethians use either "route" or "highway" when referring to any state highway, and this is also the case with Interstate Z-60 and U.S. 901 (both of which run through the state).


A set of Zeconnemeleth State Highway markers. Since 2004, Zeconnemeleth has used these shields for their state highways. 648 is the highest numbered route in the state's highway system.

In Zeconnemeleth, odd-numbered state highways run north-south and even-numbered state highways run east-west (with a few exceptions, such as Zeconnemeleth State Highway 190). The Zeconnemeleth state highway system is supplemented by the state's county road system, which comprises a series of highways numbered and maintained by the individual county highway departments (i.e. Aebischer County Route 15). Each county numbers its highways independently of other counties - therefore, county routes typically change numbers when they cross county lines.

The Waliscotunket Trail was designated in 1980 to honor the Waliscotunket people, who were the tribe of indigenous Americans who resided in present-day Zeconnemeleth from circa 1580 until their wipeout by American colonists around circa 1716 and most of whom were descendants of the Powhatan people. The Waliscotunket people had named the island "Zeconnemeleth" which meant "where life stems from strong bedrock," which became the basis for the state's nickname "The Foundation State" as bedrock was used to make many of the dwellings of local Native Americans in an abandoned village discovered by European settlers circa 1603. The Waliscotunket Trail runs from Point Scarsley to Comatzer Mocks. Interstate Z-60 follows the Waliscotunket Trail from from Waliscotunket Crossing (where the western north-south segment becomes the northern east-west segment and vice-versa in Maximilian County) to Qambleyridge.

Regions of Zeconnemeleth

  A map of the four geographic regions of the U.S. state of Zeconnemeleth (click to enlarge). For political, economical and cultural reasons, there are 4 regions in the U.S. state of Zeconnemeleth, which are not necessarily geographically distinct from one another. These four regions were originally drawn up as the three original counties of the Protectorate of Zeconnemeleth, North Carolina which lasted from the jurisdiction's establishment in 1779 to 1861, when Zeconnemeleth seceded from North Carolina and became a federal territory the following year in 1862 and from that point the three counties were gradually broken up into the 56 counties of today. The original three counties of the Protectorate of Zeconnemeleth - Northern Zeconnemeleth, Central Zeconnemeleth and Southern Zeconnemeleth - were subsequently divided into the current 56 counties between 1862 and 1926 and are now considered regions by the Zeconnemeleth state government with Central Zeconnemeleth split into North Ce...

"Mallettbarr Plainess" - A Summary of Mallettbarr Culture and Defining Characteristics

Mallettbarr isn't called the Prudence State because of the implication that its residents are humble, low-key and are extremely disinclined to stand out from one another – Mallettbarrites are socially prudent, tend to be largely ignorant of the world outside their own physical constitutions, and are unwavering (indeed, the state's motto). Anti-social, curt, brusque, abrasive, provincial, grumpy, aloof, cold, distant, insecure, self-defensive and standoffish are not words you'd expect to describe someone from a place that's in between Altamasstachia and Hawaii, but these stereotypes are accurate and appropriate given their love of living pure, unadulterated country life and in solitude, nature, hunting, fishing, hiking and football and a quiet contempt for anything else. Where a whisper is a yell, Mallettbarrites are a hard, difficult people who live simply and deliberately.  After all, "Mallettbarr Plainess", the term often used to describe the reclusive natur...

Things Only People From Altamasstachia Understand

Image
It may be true that each state is unique in their own way, but Altamasstachia truly isn't like all the other states in America! Here in the Bayflower State, we Altamasstachians take extreme pride in our ways of life, our traditions and our oddities and quirks that define our homeland as we continue to embrace our future together, from Olympia to San Gerardo Bravo to Heston to St. Ann to Foxbridge and to New Scotland. While there's always something for everyone in Altamasstachia whether you're north or south of the Clapton Line, there's always going to be our own unique eccentricities only we Bayflower folk can understand. Altamasstachians Measure Travel In Counties.   Lee County is just one of Altamasstachia's seemingly endless counties. And trust us, each county has something for everyone. With the possible exception of Midway County. You may as well get used to seeing lots of these signs travelling on the road in this state. Altamasstachia has 550 counties, which ...
