Improve Railway Network	No National Focus prerequisite	Random Owned Controlled State: Add 3 Infrastructure Random Owned Controlled State: Add 3 Infrastructure Random Owned Controlled State: Add 3 Infrastructure	Our First Five year plan proved to be too successful.

Transpolar Flights	No National Focus prerequisite	gets 1x 100% research bonus for: air doctrines.	Our bravest pilots are just beginning to prove that daring routes across the arctic are possible.
