After 1965 Dregolesian Revolution, countries north of Suria decided to make an anti-Surian Union. Lany, Geklinia-Dregolesia and Dregovine signed a pact in Nedelica in 1967. Since then, cooperation with other pact members grew. In 1992 border checkpoints were taken down, allowing free travel between the three countries.

Railways
The country has a fairly dense railway network, facilitating the transport of passengers and goods from the east and south to the north and west. Ports dotted along the coast have transhipment hubs, enabling the transshipment of goods from trains to ships and vice versa in a Lo-Lo manner. The busiest ports for rail traffic are the ports in Basidwór and Kestrzanowo, which have special rail terminals equipped with an efficient roll-on-roll-off mechanism, where freight and passenger trains are pushed and board railway ferries without unloading, from where they sail to/from Lechia or other countries in the region.
Train ferries are the only form of transporting trains across the Great Rift, although in February 2024 Geklinia-Dregolesia became interested in building an underwater tunnel in the narrowest section of the strait, but as it is still a site of tectonic movements, this idea remains on paper for now.
