Yeah. Actually, I saw a piece on (I think) German news a year ago or so wherein there is a company that is trying to revive the technology for shifting extremely heavy and bulky items. There is apparently some promise.

Actually, not so much as you might expect. There is a lot of cultural resistence (Comro don't appreciate a load of Yokels commin up to take all the jobs; and Kerno often don't want to leave their country). The east of Dunein, however, is much better off than the west - if by "better off" you mean richer in money but more complicated in lifestyle - as there are several military installations and a couple of industrial areas.
